How many EVs is GM actually selling?

Suburban homes or homes with carports/garages/off street parking can take advantage of at home charging. Apartment dwellers not so much so and will still need to visit a fueling station where the costs go up, fueling and wait times are longer.

I would have no issue buying a EV if the cost to purchase was comparable to ICE, the weight of the vehicle was similar to ICE, the ability to haul stuff was comparable, can be recharged in 5 minutes, and could be towed 4 down. So far I can’t find one.

Re apartments. Where we are public charging is common in apartments and condo complexes.

You think there is enough should a large number of renters / condo owners switch to EV’s?

Context would help here. Reisender lives in one of the most progressive areas of the continent. Far more environmentally “sensitive”, economically expensive and politically liberal/socialist than the vast majority of the US and Canada, both from a geographical and income/cost of living perspective.
Even moreso than Seattle/Portland area, where on any or every day to work, Teslas are like Toyota Camrys and more economical EVs and plug in hybrids are like Toyota corollas. And there’s not a day goes by I don’t see a couple 3 4 Rivians, a HummEE a few times a week, at least 1 Lightning per day and the occasional Lucid.
That’s where he lives. I’ll bet money that is nowhere near the same, actually guaranteed it’s not even close to what the car scene looks like in Stump Holler,SC or most of the country. All of it thus far if you take major metropolitan areas out of the mix.
No, there’s no “apartment EV charging stations” in Bear Scat, WI or Dead Cow, Nevada. Heck even if there was, folks there can’t afford them types of cars.
Pretending that rich city slickers living in apartments by choice is the norm is a false claim. Everyone else out there is living in an apartment because that’s all they can afford.
So even buying a used yet overpriced 10 year old Nissan Leaf with suspect batteries is off the table.
This is not anti EV. They have their place and their places are expanding. Somewhat forced by the govt, but it would be happening anyway, just not as far along.
It’s just tiring hearing over and over again how “convenient” it is to have an EV, with A. No mention of how you could afford that $100k thing and B. No consideration or pretending like the sheltered full featured city world you live in somehow exists everywhere else.

Some good points Grit.

Just a heads up. The adaptation rate in Quebec is higher than BC and consequently the infrastructure is more advanced as well.

You mentioned 100,000 dollar EV’s. I don’t think they sell a lot of those but really don’t know. The most common Tesla sold is around 38000 ish bucks USD before any kind of incentives. Bolts are around 30 grand.

Cheers.
