“General Motors just rolled out a car that’s perfect for the moment. It’s the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt — a relatively cheap, all-electric subcompact that will let you drive right past gas stations, and dodge those high prices from the war in Iran. But if you want a Bolt, you’d better act fast, because they won’t be on dealer lots for long. GM has already confirmed that production will end next year. The plan is to convert the Bolt’s factory in Kansas City back to manufacturing vehicles with internal combustion engines. … a big part of the story is Donald Trump. Since taking office, he has launched an all-out assault on EVs — by working with Republicans in Congress to eliminate tax breaks for vehicle production and purchases, and by using his regulatory powers to gut federal and state emissions standards that favored fuel efficiency.” [editor’s note: No, those were good moves. But the US government should stop its similar subsidies, etc. to Big Oil as well, and let the market decide – TLK] (03/22/26)
