Why ICE is here to stay for some time?

All you'd need would be new battery components and since GM undoubtedly bought these off the rack anyway, it should be possible to restore one of these to operation as long as the motor and controller are still in place.
GM couldn't brick one of these as Tesla can one of theirs.

Tesla doesn't brick cars. They take away Supercharging if they think the car has been messed with and they're saying they can't verify the electronics are good. You can still charge anywhere else.

No one is bricking your car. Stop spreading BS. The only thing they have control over with private ownership of their cars is the Supercharging network communication.

...umm, didn't claim Tesla was bricking cars, only that they could, and they can and they don't need their charging network to do it.

Wow is that cheap.

I wish we could get that rate.

The electricity system in Ontario went through some real hell, but rates have gone down now and things are looking a lot better with the cancellation of the GEA and the focus on nuclear and hydro.

Ok, that’s literally what you said. That’s what I responded to. Theoretically it could be possible if that’s what you’re saying at least more than an EV1, but there’s still no way for them to actually do it.

I'm pretty sure they can do that. But what I'm thinking is the possibility of disabling a vehicle that's reported stolen. OnStar ads used to talk about remotely disabling stolen vehicles. And they say they can do that.

I’m aware of what was being discussed. I have reading comprehension skills. Maybe read again what he posted. That said what did GM do with the EV1? They crushed them.

Again, really?

In Europe for EV to be mainstream, there has to be technology that will allow vehicle like Opel Corsa, Ford Fiesta etc. be built as EV, have range 400mls, and cost $20k.
Same goes here.
My point is that 2035 is too optimistic and we will see policy backtracking.

Those all sounds like great specs. Good luck with that. Unfortunately what we want and what becomes available may be two completely different things.
