What has GM announced to replace the Volt then? If they have announced nothing, than proclaiming the removal of the Volt as a good thing doesn't make sense.
It seems clear to me GM knew the Volt would not sell after expiring tax credits.
Manufacturers aren't aggressive at all, except Tesla, who lives or dies by this technology.
GM sales have slipped and they are cutting their plug-in models in half (to just the Bolt).
Who knows how many copies of the Kona and Niro are planned for sale, but it's not likely many. Have the companies announced a 50-state release, or only CARB states?
The Leaf 2.0 should have been a sales success, but has more or less matched the Bolt.
Tesla's Model 3 is carrying the EV market in the US right now. We'll see how well they do now that the credit has been halved. My guess is 2019 will be their best US year, but 2020 will rely on foreign markets to soak up the production capacity.
