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.

True, many of those will be in the Chinese/European market. I'm curious as to when the more 'normal' EV's will be coming out. Haven't heard much news so far. And I don't mean just for GM, I mean the automakers as a whole.
Oddly enough, I think it will be GM who will be the first to introduce truly economical options in the EV market. The Bolt seems to be one of the more affordable ones but the new EUV version can sticker for 40K plus. I like the interior on it and the super cruise option, although being fwd only and using the same batteries from the previous generation, would be nice had it been like 5K cheaper.
