The market wants more Chevy Bolts. They didn't have a 200 mile range. The market wants them so badly that GM unkilled the production line.
Of course they're on the same EV platform as all of the other GM BEVs that's a lemon lottery.
Volvo is going to beat the pants off this market with their 36k EV. Assuming of course our government doesn't swoop in to protect GM and Ford.
Because protecting American car makers has worked so well the last time they tried...
Well somebody has to be the dumping ground for the oldest, least efficient, engines still in inventory. But yeah we don't even have a robust domestic market to protect anymore. It's effectively a triad.
