I can get the jump on just about anything from a traffic signal with my lowly little Bolt.

Hertz selling 20,000 EVs from fleet, to reinvest in gas-powered vehicles
Rental car giant said the sales will continue over the course of 2024

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/her ... d-vehicles

Rental car giant Hertz on Thursday said it will sell about 20,000 electric vehicles from its U.S. fleet.

The offloading of those EVs will cut the company’s global EV fleet by roughly one-third, Hertz said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The rental car giant said it would allocate funds it gets from selling the vehicles toward purchasing more internal combustion engine vehicles "to meet customer demand."

Funny how the comments are turned off on this video. This guy knows he’s going to get blasted on how the cold weather reduces the battery life in EV’s.

Great. I just defrosted my EV with my smart phone, but I can’t make it to the grocery store and back. :lol:

Another one bits the dust.....

EV maker files for bankruptcy after hemorrhaging cash
Automotive designer Henry Fisker has struck out again
https://www.foxbusiness.com/fox-news-au ... aging-cash

Henrik Fisker is out of gas, again.

The automotive designer's California-based electric vehicle startup, Fisker, filed for bankruptcy protection late on Monday and will seek to sell its assets and restructure its debt after hemorrhaging cash on its "Ocean" SUV line in the U.S. and Canada.

The company joins other would-be Tesla competitors such as Proterra, Lordstown and Electric Last Mile Solutions, which each went bankrupt in the past two years after depleting cash reserves, fundraising hurdles and production challenges related to global supply-chain issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Fisker vehicles were also under investigation by U.S. regulators.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a reorganization process that allows a business or individual to continue operating while restructuring their debts.

During reorganization the 360 mile range Fisker Ocean is selling for $35,000 to $37,500.
That range works for getting to and from the cities I visit frequently.
Columbia - Louisville 103 miles x2 = 206 miles round trip.
Columbia - Nashville 131 miles x2 = 262 miles round trip.
