Those blue stickers on the windows kind of look like the ones they put on the buy-back Bolts. If that is the case, I suspect that this is just a GM holding lot for for buy-backs waiting on new batteries. Maybe GM is going to do some sort of factory warrantied used EV program for those, but is trying to get more of the existing battery replacements done first. Even then they would have to release them slowly so as to not kill new Bolt sales.
Here is the blue sticker on the Bolt that GM bought back from us.

There are great trucks out there but there are also plenty of trash trucks.
That being said, EVs will not be replacing trucks anytime soon.
No EV made in the next 10 years is gonna replace a tacoma/ F150 or suburban/landcruiser


Particularly when you get a solid used gas truck/SUV for $15-25k.
Im not gonna haul bricks/sticks or off-road in some EV I paid $60-100k for ;-(
My next door neighbor here in the middle of the city, has a newer F150, and a pretty nice one too, and a club cab 4X4 at that. I've never seen him haul a trailer or anything of major significance in back. Just stuff from the local big box store etc. Mostly he hauls himself and his family around.

He doesn't need it for work either except to get there and back. I'll bet if he wanted to, he could easily replace it with an EV pickup truck within the next few years. And probably for not much more coin. Any extra cost he'd get back in fuel and maintenance savings.
