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

The biggest "profit" from building an EV is avoiding the $5000 CARB fine for not building it. Of course that is list price, you can buy a credit on sale from another automaker that has too many.
Once you have enough credits to avoid the fines there is little reason to make more.
