AbakwaGeneral Motors baqhubekela phambili nezinhlelo zokufaka amashaja ezimoto zikagesi ezingafinyelela ku-40,000, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasemakhaya zaseMelika. Lokhu kuza njengoba iGM ihlela ukudayisa izimoto zabagibeli ezingakhiqizi kuphela ngo-2035.
Lawa ngeke abizwe ngokuthi amashaja asheshayo “Ezinga 3” — uhlobo olungashaja i-EV iye ku-80% womthamo webhethri layo emizuzwini engu-30 noma ngaphezulu — kodwa azoba amashaja “Ezinga 2” anensa, nakuba enamandla kakhulu. Bazoya ezindaweni lapho abashayeli be-EV bengase bashiye khona izimoto zabo zipakiwe amahora ambalwa njengamapaki, izindawo zezemidlalo noma izifunda zezitolo ezimaphakathi nedolobha. Amashaja azoba namapulagi okushaja asezingeni lemboni e-J1772 angasetshenziswa yizimoto eziningi zikagesi, hhayi nje i-GM.
(GM) amamodeli. Tesla
(TSLA) izimoto zizokwazi futhi ukusebenzisa amashaja ane-adaptha.
Njengamanje zibalelwa ku-43,000 iziteshi zokushaja zalolu hlobo eMelika. Uma wonke amayunithi angu-40,000 efakiwe, uhlelo lwe-GM lungacishe luphinde kabili inani lamanje leziteshi.
Kuze kube manje, abathengisi beGM abayi-1,000 basayine ukufaka amashaja angaba ngu-10 endaweni ngayinye. Abanikazi abaningi bama-GM dealerships – lawa angamabhizinisi azimele – bangabanikazi bamaloli angaphezu kwelilodwa. Amashaja ngeke afakwe kuma-dealship ngokwawo, kodwa, kodwa kuyo yonke indawo yasendaweni lapho ama-dealship asekelwe khona.
Namuhla, izimoto eziningi zikagesi eMelika zithengiswa ezindaweni ezisogwini njengeNew York neCalifornia. Amashaja e-EV, ngokufanayo, ajwayele ukugxila kakhulu ezingxenyeni zasemadolobheni nasezindaweni ezingaphansi kwedolobha naseduze kwemigwaqo emikhulu lapho esebenzela khona abantu abashayela besuka kwelinye idolobha beya kwelinye. UGM usebenzisana nabadayisi bayo, iningi labo abasezindaweni zasemakhaya ezikude namadolobha amakhulu agudle ugu, ukufaka amashaja ezindaweni ezivame ukuntula.
Abathengisi bazosiza ukukhetha izindawo ukubeka amashaja emiphakathini yabo. I-GM isebenza nenkampani yeshaja ye-EV i-Flo ukuze yakhe futhi ifake amashaja. Amashaja azophatha i-Ultium branding, igama likaGM lemoto yakhe esebenza ngogesi kanye nebhizinisi lokushaja, kanye negama lenkampani exhase indawo yokushaja.
UMary Jo Wheeler weWheelers Chevrolet GMC eMarshfieid, eWisconsin, uthe usebenzisane nomnyango wobunjiniyela wedolobha ukuthola izindawo ezifanele zamashaja.
Iningi labanikazi bezimoto zohlobo lwe-EV likhokhisa izimoto zabo emakhaya ubusuku bonke kodwa amashaja afinyeleleka emphakathini abonwa kabanzi njengabalulekile ekusizeni ukudayisa izimoto zikagesi ngoba abantu bafuna ukubona ukuthi banawo amanye amathuba okushaja. U-Wheeler wenze isibonelo sendodana yesakhamuzi sendawo esasikhathazeke ngokushayela ekhaya sisuka eMilwaukee, eqhele ngamamayela angu-200, ngemoto yakhe kagesi i-Audi, ngenxa yokuthi amashaja ayengekho.
Osonkontileka bendawo bazowagcina esesimweni esihle lamashaja, azokwakhiwa aqine ukuze amelane nokuhlukunyezwa nokuzama ukucekelwa phansi, ngokusho kwe-Flo EV Charging CEO uLouis Tremblay. I-Tremblay ekhombisa ukuhlukumeza kanye nokuzama ukucekela phansi impahla yizizathu ezijwayelekile zokuphuka kwamashaja.
I-GM yenqabile ukusho ukuthi ichitha malini kulolu hlelo oluthile, kodwa iyingxenye yezigidi ezingu-750 zamaRandi abakhiqizi bezimoto abahlela ukuchitha ingqalasizinda yokushaja izimoto zikagesi.
