Well, GM is going to build the Bolt EUV again, supposedly starting next year. As it turns out, the EUV was a much bigger deal than they thought it would be and they probably could have kept selling them at the same rate if they hadn't shut down the line to start building their new Ultium platform (and, yes, larger) EVs. Some may argue that the EUV isn't exactly a small car. It isn't that small but it's not really SUV sized either. It's somewhere just a little smaller than an Equinox. I have one and am very happy with it. The one big thing I'd want to change is the 55kw peak charging rate. But, the upcoming 2025 or 2026 model year EUV will do 150kw like their other Ultium cars. Then I might be tempted to trade up.
