Probably depends on how you calculate "profit". Much of EV "profit" is selling ZEV credits.

The Chevy Bolt is currently selling for about $25k after various steep discounts, which is a loss.

If something were profitable, it would be advertised. At this point GM doesn't want to sell any more Bolts.
