Thank You Bob They might just make it on time Here's to Success (I raised a Glass of Water)

The Gordie should take a lot of hazmat traffic from the Bluewater bridges in Sarnia. I think the Ambassador bridge still prohibits most hazmat. As of Oct.29th class 3 fuels, and class 8 batteries are allowed, but that traffic will use the Gordie once it opens. Any hazmat coming down the 401 to destinations in Detroit or south will save a few hours, and toll dollars by using the new bridge.

great vid Bob, keep up the good work. I'm 1100 miles away now but when I watch the videos, I feel like I'm back home. I worked on zug island 37 yrs ago

EV sales here in Australia have slowed right down since various grants from federal and state governments have come to or will be ending very soon.

Ok here is my Artwork.A hand holding a gun a bullet flying out of the barrel. Signifing the closeness of windsor and detroit. Called " Windsor just a bullet shot away from Detroit "

😋 guter Job für die Betonbauer. Das war nicht einfach diese Grafik so zu giessen. Eigentlich schon verrückt diese Zoll-Anlage. Wenn ich bedenke, das ich von Deutschland - ohne Kontrolle - von Deutschland über das Zoll in die Schweiz, ohne zu halten - fahre. Oder von Deutschland nach Frankreich, ohne an zuhalten - fahre. Übrigens, die Schweiz gehört nicht zu Europa ! Wohne etwa 3 Kilometer von der Schweiz und nach Frankreich sind es etwa 5 Kilometer ! Die Zollanlagen sind zwar vorhanden, aber es gibt keine Kontrollen mehr. Vermutlich hat die USA Angst, das Kanada irgendwas schmuggelt ?! Oder ist das Zoll eine Geldmaschine und gut für viele Arbeitsplätze.

thanks great job

We will have to wait and see what will happen

Thanks Bob, Is there going to be Duty Free? Seeing as how the Bridge is owned by the Canadian Government.

Horrible video it's way too fast almost nauseating to watch not the content but the speed of the video does not allow you to actually enjoy or see the contact

Interesting project! I had heard about it in some videos but didn’t make the effort to follow up. Glad to know this bridge should be open by September 2025; it will undoubtedly be a major attraction for road users and tourists on either side of the Detroit River. One question, though. As I understand it, the Gordie Howe Bridge will be incorporated in the interstate highway network on the U.S. side. Will the bridge have a connection to Highway 401? Might part of the bridge be incorporated in Ontario’s 400-series network as a result of a possible connection to the 401?

I'll eat my hat if all thats claimed passes. Under trumpf the Ontario/quebec vehicle manufacturing will end by moving production back to the US. Thats one way trumpf can attack trudeau who is dispised in the Whitehouse. The korean car makers are in trouble, poor quality, the decision to build the battery factory in Canada dumb. Canada is about to get a very rough ride from the US.

Its just stunning!! Thank You for all you show us!!! 🎉🎉🎉...

Howe left Canada. Lived, married, raised his family in the USA American to never return and even though we Canadians are footing the bill for this bridge and connecting road work in Windsor/Essex County and Detroit all in it's entirety we couldn't find a Canadian worthy enough to name the bridge. Why? Was it because a bunch of Red Wing fans sat on the Committee? Keep it, I'll use the Tunnel

Exciting can't wait to cross! Thanks for the update!

Wow. Awesome Video!!!! Thanks for sharing.

A waste of BILLIONS of taxpayer $$$$$$$$

There is a bridge in vancouver like this. In the freezing wet weather icicles formed on the cables and when they broke off they landed on the cars. Extremly dangerous.

It could produce gas powered cars

If a gasoline car catches fire you can get out, most EV fires are deadly

All lease and rentals should be electric particular govt cars and air port rentals no tax right offs for gas ect

Just like the other plants, the federal government has helped pay for, they will soon be in production and help boost the economy of the Windsor and surrounding area. IMO EV's will not dominate the transportation market [for a while] but they will be a big part of it moving into the future.

Stellantis partnering with the Canadian government is like Nokia partnering with Blackberry. Two losers don't make a winner.

Better cancel the 7 Billion dollar plant for Quebec pronto. This wWindsor plant will be underutilized for a very long time.

Ein riesen Flachdach und keine Solaranlage darauf ? By the way: If the price of gasoline is too high - then buy a smaller car!

Wow LG lost a complete plant in the USA Due to fire and a 2nd one caught fire, what's the environmental impact on that? The resources needed to extract the materials from the ground is the real concern as that's not a green venture and reduces any environmental advantage of an EV. With the life of the battery and the carbon footprint to build it main concerns for the GREEN 💚 🟩 claims of EV's also the manufactures like Ford actual withholding information related to the battery process with raw materials and the use of child labor in thier annual shareholders proxy votes 2024 does not raise confidence at all as their transparency around batteries is even less than Ice manufacturing e.g PIG iron agreement across a multitude of manufacturers. There is nothing like this around Battery and EV production so what are they hiding. I will not buy any EV until there is a battery subscription like Nio, which gets rid of 1/3rd the cost of the car and the biggest liability both financially and maintenance wise. That's to even consider a purchase as I would never park it in a covered garage or close to a structure I own, let alone charging infrastructure issues and speed of non Tesla fast charging well below 175kw/hr. Policy will never drive the free market and I won't ever by a vehicle based on policy. iD Buzz to replace my unifor 7 passenger family vehicle at $90k plus tax are you insane 😳 I would get an F-250 XLT crewcab 4x4 with Tremor package which will be built in Oakville supporting local job with a 7.3L Godzilla V8 built in Windsor support more local jobs. It will last a good 15+yrs with no range anxiety $89-97k tax in before I buy any EV that's for sure. Sorry not sorry I'll save from now till 2034 and then BAM I'm good for 15yrs or more after 2035 ICE sales ban 2050 I'll let the next generation figure it out and it ain't Batteries that will do it only 25% if that will be EV market max 30% in 2040 and you thought the government bailout of GM and Chrysler aka Stelantis was a waste of tax payers dollars!! 😂🤣🤣

Google gasoline fires in cars

little loose on some ev facts

EV's are the future. Don't believe me, then believe no less than the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley. If we don't build production here in North America, then we’re simple handing over the future to the Chinese. Bob, I love your videos, but you're spreading anti-EV disinformation, I hope to god unknowingly. First of all, at the higher price levels, EV's are already cheaper than ICE cars over their lifetime. At the lower levels they will be soon. Hundreds of less parts, and plummeting battery cost will insure that reality, as will the ramping up of the all important supply chain. It's just that the EV industry can only move so fast, and they started at the top end, as they had to, and are working their way down. The Chinese already produce a cheap EV for under $10,000 that’s way better than any comparable ICE car. I unfortunately found your example of a very small ICE car being half the price of a “comparable” EV to be wildly misleading. And if you can't afford an new EV, then do what I've done for years with all types of cars, buy a used one. Range anxiety is also a thing of the past for anyone except the most remote rural folks who have to regularly drive more than a hundred miles from their house. Just take a look at the Tesla supercharger map. Or the Plug Share map. Chargers are all over the place, and more are being added every day. I’ve driven thousands of miles from Montreal down through rural Maine and all through rural Virginia, and I’ve never had a single problem charging my Model Y. As far as EV's lasting half the time of ICE cars, that's one I've literally never hear of before. I expect my EV to last much longer than my ICE cars ever did. Modern batteries, and battery management systems, are much, much better than the batteries of even two years ago, much less ten. And most batteries are projected to outlast their original car. In other words, in all but the driest of climates, most battery will outlast the chassis they're housed in. And as others have said in this comment section, if you're worried about car fires, and no one I know in my entire life has ever even mentioned that fear before the anti-EV fear campaign tried so cynically to make it an issue, then fear of fires might be the very best reason of all to buy an EV over an ICE car. Just check out the insurance statistics. So who shouldn’t buy an EV today? People who regularly have to haul heavy loads more than a hundred and fifty miles and don’t like to stop every two hours. People who for whatever reason don’t want to stop to eat and pee every four hours when they go on a road trip. People who can’t charge at home or at work, and don’t want to have to spend 40 minutes or so a week at a supercharger. Or people who can’t charge at home or work and don’t yet live near a supercharger/fastcharger. Other than that, EV’s are more fun to drive, cheaper to drive, and safer to drive. And the only people telling you differently are fossil fuel interests and legacy ICE car interests. And what possible reason could they have to lie to us?

ok Im sorry what are those people on the roof for. Looks like a high school field trip rofl check out the Link Below A La Prochaine

EV's, in and of themselves, are not bad. What's bad is that governments around the world are pushing them on people who just don't want them. Options for transportation are good. Mandates for transportation are not. Range anxiety and the lack of functional chargers are a hinderance, not to mention the issue of fires.

I believe this is the biggest white elephant ever created. In the end, the Chinese will end up with the plant that Canadian taxpayers built....

Thank you Canadian Commies for covering the costs of

a white elephant that Canadian taxpayers are stuck with......nobody is buying EV's

Won't produce anything!

Gasoline car is 60 TIMES MORE LIKELY to catch fire than an EV... 60 TIMES! So for every EV fire you hear about, 60 gasoline cars burned down. Wrap your head around that... To even mention it as a factor in downsides to an EV is laughable. And yes, I personally had a gasoline car catch on fire and burn down all the way to the back seat.

Bob the Ev,s are a pipe dream our electrical grid in this country is already maxed out if they started building new generation stations today it will be 2055 before there was enough power lol do some home work on this you will find I am right

where is the sculpture of the greatest hockey player ever?!!!??

Great video Bob..I’ve owned two hybrid vehicles Prius and a Fusion and they both were reliable vehicles.I was leaning towards a EV but after my research I’m not convinced as of today that it’s a good investment.I believe consumers have to be confident spending these outrageous prices and range anxiety is a deal breaker,the top vehicle’s on average have a range of 500kms on a full charge but factor in weather such as our Canadian climate and that drops to around 400kms.Now a typical ICE has a range of 800-900kms.I think the younger generation will buy these vehicles in 15-20 years and I still don’t understand why these companies didn’t go with a lighter vehicle with longer range to convince buyers like me that buying a small EV’s with longer range makes sense.(cents)….thanks again Bob!

I wonder where Stellantis will get the raw materials from to build their batteries? It doesn't look like the Ring of Fire has made any progress to date and expectations for the raw materials to come from there are optimistic at best. They haven't even made any progress on an all weather road to the Ring of Fire.

Thank you.

Bob Jones Realtor do you know if the Detroit International Marathon will be running across the new Gordie Howe Bridge instead of the Ambassador bridge after completion? I have run that marathon twice and planning to run it one more time before I turn 50yrs old. Running the new bridge would be awesome!!

Great video. Always a joy to watch. One slight correction. Im almost positive those helicopters are only 50ft long. The military type ones are 99ft. This is what i found. Columbia Model 107-II Vertol: The length of this helicopter with its rotors operating is 50 ft 83 in (15.2 m x 25.3 m). The fuselage length is 44 ft (13 m), and the internal cabin length is 20 ft 7 in (6.3 m) But yes, still a big helicopter

I wonder if such large plant could produce batteries for power tools ,cell phones, ebikes, drones. The list of objects that need batteries grows exponentially it seems. Cars might be a minor use.

There is a lot of things going on in the electric vehicle business. Sales appear not to be what the government told us. I believe the demand will not be what they projected and the employment opportunities will not be as they projected. As you stated still far to many problems with electric vehicles. I remember listening to governor DeSantis of Florida warning people to not park their EV's in the garage after one of the hurricanes due to the large amounts of rain many drivers drove through !! I personally feel people are not going to invest in EV's until the economy changes for the better. Also as Canadians know EV's might be great in the major population areas but as we all know there are many places you can drive for hours and not see a anyone LOL

Cool video Bob! I personally have an ev and a gas car. I love my ev because it costs me around $30 is electricity a month compared to $500 that I pay for the gas in my f150. The problem with the evs is that the infrastructure to charge them on a mass scale isn’t there. Until it’s lighting fast to charge them and it’s adopted on a mass scale, Evs are only for people who can really afford them I feel.

Using batteries for cars is still at its infancy stage, so there are going to be lots of changes and things that people are impossible will become possible. If we don't move forward some other country will and we will be left behind. It's like years ago when people first bought cars. "Why are you buying a car? Where are you going to fuel up? There aren't many gas stations! I can feed my horse along the side of the road any time I want!"
