What do you guys think of the new Hummer? Electric rigs in general?

^^ agreed, NAT Gas or Propane would be better and more inline with existing vehicles and existing infrastructure. But even the petrol engines are leaps and bounds advanced in reduction of emissions, I'm sure the fuel burnt to extract the materials to build the EV batteries and then ship it across the ocean and then recycle and replace the Batteries over there short lifespan add up to the same environmental emissions or more and a larger environmental footprint/impact as the existing petrol vehicle, but I'll admit I'm guessing, but it's not adding up IMO.
And let's not forget the cost to tax payers for all of this, it rises the cost of living, and in Canada we extract natural resources to make money, so guess what, We'll have to extract more resources, or raise the costs of those resources and work a little harder, and it will roll down down hill for everyone from there, raising the costs of everything.

To the cost added in canada, don't forget the crazy incentives they give for those battery car buyers. Here in quebec you get about 12500$ cash from the ''government'' (you and me) when someone buys one, plus the ''government'' pays for the installation of the electric charger plug, and then gives you some free pass on some bridge. All of this is going out of my pocket, and I don't like it at all. All of that for a vehicle with a green façade that is overall no better and maybe worse than a gas car.

Also, imagine a world with no older used car (batteries deteriorates chemically), you have that single mom that wants to have a reliable 5000$ toyota car, but can't because these would kill the used market for good.

One of the biggest scam of the century.
