Do you think GM will bury the Equinox Fuel Cell like they did the EV-1?

Question

Google it if the cover-up worked on you.

Answer 1

It depends on how much the oil companies pay them!

Answer 2

If GM charged the true cost for the EV-1 to customers, there would be a waiting list of zero.  GM is not in the business of making cars that cost $500,000 and then selling them for $30,000.  Same for the Equinox.

Answer 3

I think the Equinox will be pushed out by the E-Flex platform.  E-Flex uses electricity, which is available almost everywhere; Equinox uses hydrogen, which is available almost nowhere.  Anybody can use a Chevy Volt on electricity right now.  Nobody will buy an Equinox unless they can get hydrogen for it, and nobody will start up a hydrogen station until there are customers.  E-Flex wins.

Answer 4

They are already in the process, note the mounting excuses why they have not gone to production.

Answer 5

Toyota, Toyota!

Answer 6

There was no waiting list for the EV-1, that is why GM discontinued it.  It simply could not compete against conventional powered cars in the market place.  The Equinox will only be produced if there is a market for it, it will only be continued if the market can support the continued production of both the car and the necessary service parts and equipment.

Answer 7

GM has invested heavily in hydrogen and promoted it heavily.  It's one of the keys to their gree platform and the promise of H2 will keep congress of the auto industry's back until it arrives.  They were forced to make the EV-1 by California laws, if they wanted to sell cars there.  You do the math.

Answer 8

Yes, they need the fuel cell to power the cameras to film fake moon landings, transport bigfoot, communicate with aliens and keep the bermuda triangle clean. Honestly, do you really think this c**p up? You need a job with more hours, man?
