"GM also is looking for partners in the energy industry and beyond to help it build out a US network of EV charging stations."Other than that GM plans to go all-electric at some point and that they want 'partners' to build out the charging infrastructure, not a lot of hard facts here.
Good reminder the Bolt can serve a world market, not just US-Canada.News article on planned increase in Bolt production announced by CEO Barra:

Great for San Jose, not so great for Portland. Oregon electricity is cheap, and the sun is scarce (in the valley). I'd rather pay for someone in Phoenix to get solar panels, and have them pay me (a reduced rate) for the amount produced.Don't be a coal-burner. Get solar panels. We should all be doing what I do: driving on sunshine. Sure, the up-front cost is high, but with many utilities (with time-of-use rates), the payback is less than ten years. After that, the electricity is free for the balance of the life of the panels (typical panels are warranted for 20 to 25 years).
I wish I could, but very tall trees on my property and adjacent properties make solar a non-starter for me.Don't be a coal-burner. Get solar panels.

If you’re looking for a car that holds its value any EV is generally a poor choice, due to the rapid advancements in EV technology. I don’t think selling your Bolt and buying a different EV will change the underlying problem of low resale value.There's no coal burning anywhere up here. It's Ohio, they burn the sh1t and it floats up into our atmosphere and into our cities.
We should put a countervailing duty on Harley Davidsons wine from California and the gdam sh1t than Ohio puts out that exports to my lungs.
Well. I thought I outsmarted the market by buying my Bolt rather than leasing. Since then GM is going to be using it as AV, its going to be dumped into fleet and who knows what else.
I'll just flip mine for something else (BEV of course) that'll hold value better.
Very true. I had thought Bolt EV may bend that curve somewhat. I'm wrong.If you’re looking for a car that holds its value any EV is generally a poor choice, due to the rapid advancements in EV technology.

Let's talk about the INCO Superstack.There's no coal burning anywhere up here.
I guess we’re not counting the pollution from the Alberta tar sands, the largest single polluter in North America.There's no coal burning anywhere up here. It's Ohio, they burn the sh1t and it floats up into our atmosphere and into our cities.
