That's a big gamble. They are investing big into these new RWD/AWD platforms and will charge premium prices for them. It will pay off later if consumers are willing to pay 45,000-100,000 for the new EV's. Hopefully consumers don't think they are getting a good deal for a 300 dollar payment for 7-8 years....

These dates keep getting tossed around for various goals. But I think it is that by 2025 "gm" will have 30 EV models for sale world-wide...
2035 is the target date for ICE vehicles to have manufacture discontinued (by gm, that is)...
Unknown is how many ICE vehicles will be available up until 2035 by gm, what other manufacturers plan on doing, and how many of these 30 EV models will be available in the U.S.
These are the dates and goals that I understand to be the case so far anyhow. I could be wrong or mistaken. But regardless, I do agree that what we have seen so far are way too expensive and not very reassuring for the dates that ICE production ends.
If this Bolt is as low as they go price-wise, I think they need to spend more time at the drawing board.
