A few possible reasons for the slowed introduction of the Bolt: 1) LG Chem has had a glitch in increasing battery production so cannot supply the planned quantities in the required time frame.
2) GM has discovered some problems with the Bolt which they do not want to advertise, but need to delay production to implement improvements. 3) GM (or LG Chem) has discovered some ways to significantly reduce production costs and want get these designed in and implemented before producing significant product quantity. 4) GM wants to gain field experience with Bolt ownership in a limited way to see what issues arise to limit warranty/recall costs. Having worked in product development quite a few years I have personally experienced analogs of all of these. But, people like to speculate and believe what they want to believe. Only time will tell. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/GM-Killed-The-Bolt-Electric-Car-GM-only-selling-Bolt-in-CA-OR-tp4684542p4684555.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
