GM Reverses All-In EV Strategy to Bring Back Plug-In Hybrids::The EV craze is butting up against limited demand, and it's forcing General Motors to bring back hybrids in an almost total about-face.

I got a Chevy Bolt 1LT (cheapest I could find with federal/state tax credits) and it's the lowest maintenance car I've ever owned. No oil changes - literally just rotate your tires every 7500 miles. Less than $4 per charge to 90% (about 200-260 miles depending on how much I use the climate control). Parallel parking is super easy. Infotainment kind of sucks, but Android Auto makes it way better.

I don't understand why they want to kill these cars other than they aren't making enough money.

America needs to mandate charge stations at all currently operating gas stations before they will go all in on EVs. They have range anxiety in rural areas for a good reason.
