General Motors is taking a bold step by reducing production of its all-electric BrightDrop delivery vans due to disappointing market demand. The Canadian plant will idle for about 20 weeks, resulting in 500 job losses. Union leaders are calling for action to support affected workers while highlighting troubling sales figures. The future of this venture is uncertain amid ongoing industry challenges.

The average warranty for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles varies depending on the manufacturer and region, but typically falls within the range of 3 to 7 years, with some up to 10.

So you're saying that ICE vehicles typically last 10 years or less.

There are risks in buying anything, new or used. The warranty is just a limited guarantee.

It used to be said of ICE vehicles that they'd never replace the horse. The big problem being that you can't grow the fuel.

With EVs, at least power points are pretty common. That wasn't the case for petrol stations, back in the day.

It's a management issue. The adaptable survived. You're just proving that you're not a survivor.
