There is absolutely no reason to make a 240 mile EV on an unique platform if the goal is to just make a CARB compliance car. GM already did that with the Spark EV. The Bolt is a genuine attempt to make a good EV (and get ahead of their competition in the shift to EVs)

I don't see GM making 500K EVs next year but I expect they will be making more than 500K per year 10 years from now. (GM makes 10 million vehicles per year so 500K would only be 5% EV market share)
