"For years now, the Chevrolet Bolt has held a unique slot in America’s auto fleet: an affordable little electric vehicle that proved Detroit could actually make such a thing.
On Tuesday, the Bolt’s maker, General Motors Co., said that the last copies of the electric compact will roll off the production lines by the end of the year (Greenwire, April 25). America’s biggest automaker will pull its top-selling EV to free up factory space to make bigger — and much more popular and lucrative — electric trucks.
The Bolt’s death notice drew yelps of sadness from EV advocates. But tellingly, the news drew only a muted response from drivers, who never really fell in love with a vehicle that suffered some embarrassing battery problems."
