"Buick's EV plans on ice"
http://autoweek.com/article/rumormill/buick-bulk-crossovers Buick to bulk up on crossovers July 25, 2018 Michael Wayland [images http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-932-524/public/2018-Buick-Enspire-All-Electric-Concept-02_1.jpg?itok=44_i8D_V ] Buick's all-electric Enspire was shown as a concept in China. It was intended for the U.S. market as well, but those plans are likely delayed or canceled. Here's what's coming for Buick Planned expansion into electric vehicles could be halted by low demand, loss of federal tax credit Following a lineup overhaul away from sedans in recent years, Buick is expected to continue to beef up its crossover portfolio with high-end Avenir models as well as redesigns and freshens of its hottest-selling models. However, the brand's reported plans, including an expansion into electric vehicles, could be disrupted by public policy. GM's impending loss of federal tax credits for alternative fuel vehicles and a lack of customer demand could push Buick's EV plans for the U.S. into the next decade. And if the Trump administration is successful in implementing higher tariffs, that could mean trouble for the entire brand, as every vehicle aside from the Enclave and LaCrosse is imported, with the Envision coming from China ... EVs: Behind Chevrolet, Buick was expected to be GM's next brand to embrace all-electric vehicles in the U.S. However, due to a lack of domestic demand and the company's impending loss of federal tax credits, those plans may have been pushed back, if not eliminated, until GM's next-gen EV platform is released beginning in 2021. The brand is still expected to adopt several EV models for China, but a Chevy Bolt-based EV — previously expected as early as next year — may no longer show up in the U.S. If it does come stateside, it could be a Chevrolet, which already has an established network of dealers equipped for EVs.
