A friend has a Bolt. Got caught by the battery recall. The 'new' Bolt is slated for 2025. We'll see. It's being made in Mexico.

GM also had the Volt, electric and gas, sort of a super hybrid.

None of this changes the fact that China has run circles around the US. By the time Republicans get done, China will have every advantage on the world market.
