I know a GM engineer with some opinions on EVs
This guy is in his 50s and GM lifer. At his level in the company, they are required to drive GM company cars. That's both fun and exasperating depending on the vehicle. GM has come to realize the market and utility for EVs is pretty much short distance commuting. You will always need an ICE vehicle to complement for anything else. He and his peers have been strongly urged to be "company men" and have one of their EVs as their company car, but most are able to dodge that when the cost of the charger is more than a certain threshold depending on the location of their home.
