Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only selling Bolt in CA ...
I've decided to be selfish on this issue. I put a deposit down on a BoltEV at my local Chevrolet dealer. I'm told they are expecting 100 to be delivered beginning next week (after Thanksgiving). As I understand it, GM will be selling the BoltEV. I will not lease it. After my experience leasing the Honda EVPlus from 1997 to 2003, I will never lease a vehicle again, or purchase a Honda. The EVPlus was an incredible car though. It was a way better electric vehicle than my 2011 Leaf.

I emailed GM 5 days ago asking if they are committed to the Bolt roll-out and EV in general. I have not heard back. -- 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-tp4684542p4684560.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)

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.
