First of all, my wife and I are not yet EV drivers. We tried to be EV or at least HEV drivers in late 2008, but NONE were available at that time in our state of Louisiana. A salesman at the local Ford dealership spent his time with us talking about how bad electric or hybrid cars were in the heat of the South. Obviously he was much more interested in selling an ICE vehicle than he was in selling what the customer wanted. I still think about converting my 1951 Chevy pickup (an 'Advanced Design') to electric but I do have range anxiety. A '51 Chevy is not very aerodynamic and I would need lots of batteries. We have put down the $1,000 deposit for a place in line, waiting for a Tesla Model 3. I trust Tesla more than any other car manufacturer to build a quality electric car. I believe that typical ICE companies, like GM, are manufacturing EVs because they are being forced to by ZEV mandates in places like California. In other words it is my opinion that the Bolt is a 'compliance car.' If the Bolt were not a compliance car they would be available in other states.
