How many EVs is GM actually selling?

Depends what you spend on cars too. Me, currently there is a different vehicle for each day of the week and 2 drivers. All of which could be daily’s technically.
And an EV would fit either of our commuting habits. But I have a company truck so free= better than everything else.
That said, $38k doesn’t seem bad, until I compare it to the last “new” (to me) vehicles I bought, a host of commuter beater suvs in the $5k range which get driven and sold for the same or more $ than purchased. Or the 2016 Ram. Gave $37k with 60k miles a few years ago. Can’t see spending $38k on a base model chit box commuter car….
Then there’s much of the population who are never “stepping up” to the Tesla from the bolt or whatever. They won’t even be in the EV game until those are dime a dozen used clunkers. And then they better hope they live in Saskatchetoon where everyone gets a free block heater outlet at their apt parking spot.

It’s a little assuming to think everyone can or does buy new or expensive vehicles.

I hear ya. @ss for every seat. :). I like that.

The base 38,000 tesla is a great commuter but for those who make occasional road trips it’s actually…ok. Mostly because of the supercharger network availability and speed.

Heads up. We used to own apartment buildings in Alberta. The block heater receptacle in the parking lot goes back to a breaker in the renters apartment so the renter normally pays the bill. Where we were in central Alberta at minus 35 with a gas or diesel vehicle you were plugged in, or starting in the morning was iffy. The 15 amp 120 volt receptacle would be adequate for modest commutes if charging from it. Maybe max 100 kilometre commutes. Maybe 70 in winter depending on the car. Not idea but I know a ton of people are doing it. It gets talked about on the EV groups often.

Cheers.
