All owned by the same company.I bet the ICE Mustang outlast Autoweek. AW is not what it used to be. I dropped it few yrs ago. And I just dropped R&T.
Car And Driver is the only one worthy IMO.
It was already posted a few days ago. But it is always new to someone!I may be missing something here but I didnāt think this was any news at this point?
Likewise. Pressing regs are speeding the process along, but if you look at EV tech and infrastructure ten years ago against today, it's a massive difference that's only getting bigger. Cleaner in the long term, (NOT zero emission) lower maintenance requirements, ultimately in a world where most vehicles see the same couple hundred miles of range and can be refilled overnight. Like it or not, that die is cast.I know I am in the minority here, but I really think EVs are going to win out not because of regulations, but because they will simply be better - quieter, smoother, faster, simpler, more reliable, more efficient efficient, and (eventually) lower total cost of ownership. I know battery and charger tech is not quite there yet, but it is getting better every day.
I am not saying this because I believe in some zero emission fantasy (because I don't believe they will end up being all that much "greener"). I just believe that the tech will end up being better and for the average Joe, an EV car will just end up being a better choice. I do believe that it will take longer to get there than some think, but that is where we are heading.
Agreed. I think the only ICE that has any really long longevity (10+ years) is diesel. Ships, Trucks, Trains, Heavy Equipment, etc. have some staying power. As for performance cars that are daily drivers (honestly how many Mustangs are driven 300miles a day) the gas ICE days are numbered. It's sad and it's going to be painful (our infrastructure just cannot handle it), but it is a reality.Likewise.

And nearly all diesel trains are actaully "hybrids" where the diesel engine drives a generator which powers electric motors which drive the wheels. An ICE engine just can't produce the low end torque of an electric motor and nothing needs low end torque more than a mile long freight train.Agreed.

Oh, commercially ICE is staying firmly put for a good long while. There's some electrification testing going on in the U.K. with trucks carrying an overhead assembly to freely run off electric power on certain vital highways, but that's all of one (1) example I can think of for commercial electrification, sans maybe the occasional good will delivery vehicle put on the streets by one of the big shipping companies.Agreed.

EVs will 100% win. Most people could careless what is under there hood. Once cheaper EVs come to market (might take years) people will be all over them.I know I am in the minority here, but I really think EVs are going to win out not because of regulations, but because they will simply be better - quieter, smoother, faster, simpler, more reliable, more efficient efficient, and (eventually) lower total cost of ownership.

Semi-off-topic, some "diesel" locomotives are running on liquid natural gas. Florida East Coast has a setup of two locomotives with a huge cryo-bottle of LNG in between, hope it never has an accident! EV locomotives are also being tested as are hybrid and EV construction equipment.And nearly all diesel trains are actaully "hybrids" where the diesel engine drives a generator which powers electric motors which drive the wheels.

Less time than that I imagine.EVs will 100% win. Most people could careless what is under there hood. Once cheaper EVs come to market (might take years) people will be all over them.
