Two and a half centuries after Benjamin Franklin famously flew his kite to better understand electricity, the mainstream auto industry is getting on board with the idea of ditching gasoline and going electric.

The Los Angeles Auto Show opens to the public this weekend and the prevalence of electric vehicles is one overarching theme among the announcements coming from the biggest names in the industry.

"I think what Ford has done right is realize there’s a lot of equity in the name 'Ford Mustang,'" said Brian Moody, executive editor at Autotrader."When you go look at it, you say that’s kind of sharp looking!" At Volkswagen, the ID Space Vizzion – yes, that’s its name -- isn’t yet ready for prime time, but the company is letting reporters sit in the futuristic car and experience an electric vehicle the company says will go 300 miles on a single charge. As VW focuses on an all-electric future, the ID Space Vizzion looks like a spaceship. Its door handles are light bars, there are lights under the front grill and there’s an augmented-reality screen inside.

"All the components are there," said Andreas Thurner, Karma’s vice president of Design and Architecture."There’s lots of interest already." Beyond electrification, foreign auto manufacturers are making it known at the L.A. Auto Show that they will not follow Ford’s lead and end production of sedans. In fact, Toyota’s Jack Hollis, group vice president and general manager, said they are going the opposite way.

I put gas in my Tesla once and got 20 extra miles..... dumb

A fool and his money are easily parted. People are not going too wait along time to refuel and go on about their business. These batteries don’t get the average traveler far enough along the road

Concerning the auto industry moving from gas to electric... It's about time. In fact, it's PAST time. Because I'm a Veteran with CPTSD, and some of my medications side effects, I don't drive any more. But, I love that electric vehicles are finally being engineered and built.

are there any electric trucks yet?

And crazy right wing radio hosts are spreading disinformation that the green new deal means the liberals want to take ive GM And have the govt manufacture electric cars. For real. We’ve got to do something about the idiot nut jobs allowed on the radio.

No ain't this the biggest load of crap ever pushed on gullible Americans ---- No electricity - no cars folks. Think about your home with no electricity - bad yes. But months of no electricity --- junk your electric car

Electric vehicles will surpass ice (internal combustion engine) cars once solid state batteries are realized commercially. They've already announced more advanced lithium ion. This entire field is about to have a serious push.

If Liberals haz their way, we'll all be flying kites out our automobiles' rooftops to catch electricity to mobilize our vehicles. Or just put a windmill on top... The more you drive, the more fuel you make: perpetual energy. GreenNewDeal LiberalLogic

Auto Show with battery powered or plug-in hybrid SUVS and crossover utility vehicles. If they don’t resolve the charging station shortage across the country they won’t sell at large levels.
