After owning a Bolt and a Tesla, I can understand GM's motive for
stopping production of the Bolt in favor of the Equinox EV. The ICE
version of the Equinox is 20 inches wider and a few inches taller than
the Bolt. Most people did not like the Bolt front seats as they were
too narrow. A 20"
Those are interesting observations to me. I don't believe that GM will go out
of business because our government will keep them a float no matter how badly
they manage their business same with the others. like they did for
Crysler more than once.

GM, like every other car maker in North America, are shutting down

I was also a bit perplexed and disappointed about the Bolt news. We own one and
really like it. I read they will retool that plant to make SUVs or pickups as I
recall. Along with Ford they seem to be killing the sedan. We just traded our
Volt in and that model was axed last year. I really
We started our EV journey with our Solectria Force in 1997, and after
retiring our Force after 21 (!) years (due to rust; all the EV
components work like new and are in storage) we drive a Tesla Model 3.
After all those years of driving one of the few EVs in the state of
Wisconsin, it's kind
