Chevrolet News:Ultium Bolt Announced by Chevrolet
I do get that and agree, but I also just as Suzuki has a solid AWD low priced compact to sell for ICE, it would be a good option to have I think for the Bolt.

Also makes one wonder if AWD might get added as it has the room in the back for a second motor. You could remove the drop down storage space and add a motor here.

Banksy, a criminal through and through who loves to tag and deface public property all in the name of so-called ART. As one that has seen Seattle go from the Emerald city to the Graffiti tagged dirty trashed city, I would say LOCK HIM UP! Not a fan of tagging and the defacing of public property that is supposed to be enjoyed by all. While he feels he has a right to tag and spray paint everything in his vision, I also have a right to have a clean nice park, roads, freeways, etc. that are not a mess of spray painted tags.

The next-generation Bolt which has had record sales and some of the highest customer satisfaction and loyalty scores in the industry, especially among conquest sales will come to market using the Ultium and Ultifi technology advancements according to Barra. The Bolt and Bolt EUV are driving EV adoption sales currently and Chevrolet is planning to continue this trend. Barra stated during the earnings call that drawing on the Ultium and Ultifi technology will help GM accelerate the timeline to market and that an announcement of the next-generation Bolt will be done at a later date.

Military discipline action to be taken against this solder and reporting that he was laughing. Either truly insane or was about to face a long life at a federal prison. Idiots only do what this person supposedly did.

Blazer EV is on its way to dealerships and GM has confirmed they are making 65 per hour, plant is working 24/7. This means 1,560 per day or 569,400 per year from their Mexico plant. https://insideevs.com/news/676596/gm-reportedly-shipped-first-2024-chevrolet-blazer-ev-suv-us/ Tesla has produced that world wide per quarter out of 4 plants or average of 125,000 per plant. This puts GM on par with Tesla for EV production using rough numbers. The story also says they are getting ready to ship the Blazer EV globally too.
