Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Pretty much this. GM's EV1 is a very interesting case. While it's easy to understand why they wouldn't want to produce it in significant numbers due to economic constraints (very high manufacturing price), their decision to recall all vehicles to destroy them was stupid beyond all reason.
Also, according to wikipedia's sources, ChevronTexaco, a fucking oil company, held a patent for a NiMH battery and made sure no one made any plug-in (battery only) car using it.
