And to stay with the question: would you guys rather drive the Porsche?

Please explain why I have a genuine interest, and I am sure GM does as well

I am a mechanical engineer so I don't know a lot about EVs and I like ICEs better then EVs but I think EVs will continue to develop and improve as people want to buy them.

The ICE will be around for a long time but it seems a lot more resources are going into the EV.

Coal, gas and oil have fueled the industrial revolution for 100 years but can't do it for the next 100 years.

The Coronavirus crisis is going to turn a lot more people against fossil fuels as they see reduced levels of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the lower fossil fuel consumption.

Just need plates and street meats - unless the batteries are too rad for the road, or motor(s) run hot/load-up in bumper-to-bumper?

Following the lead of Harley Davidson back in in 2019 General Motors launched an electric bike division called ARiV, initially offering two different urban e-bike models: the folding "Merge" and the non-folding single speed "Meld".

Both bikes had a GM-designed 250 watt motor and 240 watt hour battery. Charge time
was around 3.5 hours.

Again, following the lead of Harley Davidson - GM canceled its own e-bike division shuttering the entire program.
