Mercedes-Benz to go all electric soon. Stuart Varney sez 2025.
2021-07-23
[NBC] Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler plans to invest more than 40 billion euros, or $47 billion, between 2022 and 2030 to develop battery-electric vehicles, and be ready for an all-electric car market by 2030.

Outlining its strategy for an electric future, the German luxury carmaker said on Thursday it would, with partners, build eight battery plants as it ramps up EV production, and that from 2025 all new vehicle platforms would only make electric cars.

"We really want to go for it ... and be dominantly, if not all electric, by the end of the decade," Chief Executive Ola Källenius told Reuters, adding that spending on traditional combustion-engine technology would be "close to zero" by 2025.

#8  I remember I had a used C200 diesel. First thing I did was change the horn, headlamps and remove the hood ornament. I had a paint job done on it, dark grey. I looked for an AMG logo to put on it but couldn't find one. I bought a Passat turbo diesel after it died. And an Accord diesel after that. Haven't looked under the hood for years now. Tech is a good thing, but the romance is dying.

#6  "Morons! I've got morons on my team!"

This from a country with seemingly less and less electric power generation. Are they going to FU their Sprinter vans too? We've got one with a leetle diesel that can do the job on our motorhome -- gets great mileage.

#2  Might as well skip the intermediate steps and go straight to fusion reactor powered. I won't be purchasing one anyway, so have at it.
