5 years ago after they cancelled the Volt, the Equinox with a hybrid voltec system would have been a massive hit. Perhaps they didn't want a hit because of the margins. At this point after seeing them backtrack on great cars like the volt and bolt, and what happened to the Blazer EV that was promised?? Call me skeptical, on this.

That's their MO. Release something rough around the edges, cancel it when they refine it and/or it gains traction. Don't forget the EV1, Fiero, Corvair, the Australian GTO/G8/SS/Caprice, the entire Saturn division, etc., etc. They bailed on the American Caprice and ceded the market for big ass cop cars to Ford. LAPD liked theirs so much they refurbished them at least once instead of going with new Crown Vics.

They really fumbled their Voltec platform, and not having a smooth transition from BEV2 to Ultium is kinda annoying, but Ultium seems like a solid architecture with several vehicles built on it and either shipping or close to shipping (and not just GM vehicles!). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultium#Vehicles_using_Ultium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultium#Vehicles_using_Ultium
