GM gets valuable EV credits for selling Volt/Bolt in California and all of the other US states in the club. Not surprisingly, they stock and market both cars more in those states.
I don't think Canada has an EV sales requirement yet.
- cmrdporcupine 9y agoQuebec does. Ontario has a high subsidy. To their credit, GM sells in all the provinces regardless. Once QC enacted California-style minimums, Ford stopped selling EVs in other provinces and allocated their inventory only to QC. That's a pretty dick move.
- greglindahl 9y agoYeah, it was similar in the US, in the sense that GM released Bolt first in California, then the other states with the EV requirement, and then at the end released them in other states at the same price. That last part was a pleasant surprise, because apparently GM loses money on every Bolt, and loses even more money when they sell Bolts in states without the EV requirement.
