Some numbers to provide context about where GM is in the EV game:
in 2021, GM delivered 24,828 EVs (Chevy Bolt) out of 2,218,228 cars in total in the USA, or just over 1% of their USA deliveries.[1]
They still have a ways to go.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoThey only delivered 26 EVs in 2021Q4. 25 Chevy Bolts and 1 Hummer EV pickup truck.
- bsder 5y ago> Sales of the Bolt EV have been paused since September 2021 as the company focuses on repairing recalled vehicles. At least include the reason if you're going to point that out.

That’s just game over. That's a suggestion that people will no longer be interested in buying comparable gasoline-powered cars when this Equinox EV were to become available. However, as I showed with my comment above, most of GM's assets must still be focused on building non-EVs, as that's currently 99% of their sales. So if GM is really going to be selling what they announce here, they are in for one hell of an Osborne effect and a huge write-off of their assets. (Not that they have much choice, I guess the competition will eat their lunch otherwise.)
