I'll just repeat what I said in the other section...

Car companies have been saying the 'V8 days are numbered' for decades.
I think Dodge, GM, Ford, etc. say this stuff to satisfy the "eco-friendly" people and attract potential buyers who are concerned about technology and 'saving the environment'.
I know GM has announced all their vehicles will be electric by 2035 but I think they said that to boost their overall public image and stock value (among other things). Leadership within GM will likely change a lot between now and 2035 which means it's possible the 2035 target date will get changed. It all depends on the public acceptance of electric cars as time goes on....

They can make some good toast, fries, and mustard. Cars, not so much....
