The annual Detroit auto show is open to the public September 17-25, with electric vehicles taking center stage as the big three automakers began unveiling their all-new electric fleets in 2022.
What happened: On September 8th General Motor Company GM announced the launch of the 2024 Equinox EV with a starting price of around $30,000 and a range of 300 miles on a full charge.
“It’s an affordable game changer that offers an uncompromised experience with more features that won’t change your daily routine — except that you won’t have to stop at the gas station anymore,” said Maria BarraChairman and CEO of General Motors.
Earlier this year, GM also unveiled its all-electric 2024 Silverado RST with an estimated base price of $39,900 because the truck has 660 horsepower, a range of 400 miles and a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds.
If we compare that Ford Motor Company f Benzinga noted that the electric Chevy Silverado with the new 2022 F-150 Lightning can do more miles on a single charge.
The 2022 F-150 Lighting has a retail price of $39,947 with a range of 320 miles per charge, 563 horsepower and a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.
Not to mention that both the Ford and General Motors EV trucks feel like sports cars, with the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Ford CEO Jim Farley said: “I find it fascinating that we portray the future of our industry as monolithic. It can’t be done that way. That’s not how it will manifest itself.”
