I see this LiquidPiston engine company on some of the investment sites

LiquidPiston’s engines are up to 10x smaller and lighter than traditional diesel engines and increase efficiency by 30% thanks to the company’s patented thermodynamic cycle.

Less weight, space, vibration, noise, fuel consumption… More power. Building on over 15 years of R&D, LiquidPiston provides a power solution that can scale to address the needs of the $400B internal combustion engine market and is a key enabler for emerging mobility technologies including electric cars, urban aircraft, and drones.

Covering the bases perhaps??...Just in case the EV switcharoo proves to be a complete sales bust?

The veteran GM engineer's Global Innovation team is looking for new enterprises to expand the automaker's sources of revenue well beyond vehicle sales and is incubating ventures from commercial delivery services to vehicle insurance, to address future markets worth an estimated $1.3 trillion

new Ferrari SF90 twin turbo V8 and 3 electric motors

The fastest Ferrari road car ever made is also among the most usable. Performance is staggering. While it's hard not to be impressed by a 2.5-second zero-to-62-mph claim that's likely on the conservative side, that only tells a small part of the story. Ferrari says the SF90 can haul itself from rest to 124 mph in just 6.7 seconds.

Maybe some hope for a classic car exception (JB is the original owner)

I don't think Joe Biden is the man he once was at this point, and that's not coming back.

General Motors said on Friday it will recall about 73,000 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles at a cost of $1 billion to address fire risks and will seek reimbursement from its battery supplier, LG.

The largest U.S. automaker said the recall covers all remaining Bolt vehicles not previously recalled. GM said it will replace defective battery modules in Chevrolet Bolt EVs and EUVs with new modules. GM said it was pursuing commitments from LG for reimbursement of the recall.

GM said a previous Bolt recall would cost about $800 million. GM also said it has temporarily halted sales of current Bolt electric vehicles.
