I hope they do a better job than with BMW and Nissan did with their L2 units. Every one of them that I have seen are either blocked 90% of the time, behind a gate, or both.
<t>GM is under the regulations of needing to produce a certain amount of zero-emissions vehicles for CAFE regulations.<br/> <br/> So the automaker's lobbyists have submitted requests to the Trump Administration to do away with the requirements.<br/> <br/> If the Trump admin removes the requirement, ...
<r>There are still a ton of parts that GM is handling.
