Riddle me this.
General Motors says they'll make 400,000 EVs between now and 1st half of 2024. And $50B in revenue from EVs in 2025.
So production rate until 2024 is ~267k/year.
If they ramp up 50% for 2025, that's 400k cars/year.
= $50B would mean a revenue of $125k per EV??

This fully loaded electric Scania semi truck did 1,600km (994 mi) in two days, spent only 20 minutes extra for charging, and achieved an 1kWh/km efficiency.
That'd be 1.61 kWh/mi, and although it isn't over millions of miles, it's beating Tesla Semi's ~1.7kWh on efficiency?
