It does seem to be more than a coincidence. But part of the reason could
be the realization of an enormously challenging rollout. After all, they
are trying to do what Tesla is doing in about a third the time.
Not only that, but there are 13 states plus DC which have adopted CARB.
Unless the EPA is significantly overruled, I don't think GM cannot
ignore that.

Mark,
I share the hope.
But I am also wondering why GM suddenly changed their roll-out strategy
significantly (reducing it and making it much more non-committal) just
days after the surprising outcome of the elections. Hard to believe
that
is a coincidence.
And that coupled to the automaker lobbying efforts already under way to
abolish the CARB mandates - where did we hear that before?

I hope and that that you are wrong in thinking it possible that EVs
could become unavailable.
I expect a strong and vigorous market.
I'm also hopeful that a surging EV market will mean that EV conversions
will grow along with the main EV market.

History tells us that -- for better and/or worse -- what governments do
makes a big difference in whether EVs advance or retreat.
Bruce is 100% correct that GM's specific history predicts their current
and
future involvement with EVs. As I said a couple of weeks ago, I'm
still
waiting for that Chevette EV that GM promised in 1978. I guess I'll be
waiting a lot longer.
(Disclosure: That's a rhetorical statement. Personally, I wouldn't buy
any
GM vehicle at any price under any circumstances. Also, having known
someone
who owned a 1980 Chevette: yikes, noooooooooo ....... )
All that said, unless the state or fed legislators make it illegal, the
sure
way to drive electric is and probably aways will be to build your own.
Normally that would entail converting an ICEV.
I think I can safely say that EV conversion has been the EVDL's largest
and
most critical mission since it was first launched at sjsu.edu 25 years
ago.
If and when no automaker will sell you an EV here in the US, or you
can't
get the type of vehicle you need with a motor under the hood, drop on
by
the
EVDL. We'll be here to help.
