I have a 2017 Volt and a new
I have a 2017 Volt and a new Tesla Model 3. I love the Volt but it's a transitional vehicle just as the Palm Treo, which I also loved in it's day, was a trasitional phone that sat between the flip phone and the smartphone. The Volt sits between the between the old ICE cars and BEVs. The Volt served its purpose, its a real EV for local use and it's an effecient hybrid for long trips but the Tesla Model 3 has obsolesed it just as the IPhone obsolesed the Treo and the Blackberry. A base RWD Model 3 is the same price as a Volt Premier and it's a much better car, for 10K more you can get the long range AWD Model 3, a car so good it's outselling the BMW, Audi and Mercedes small ICE sedans combined. GM has acknowledged this, they've said that the future is pure EVs and that's where they are putting their resources. Tesla Supercharger network is 3 to 5 years ahead of the CCS network so today it's very difficult for anyone to sell an EV against Tesla but that won't be true in a few years when the CCS network is suffiently built out. I think GM has factored this in too which is why they are waiting several years before introducing their next BEVs. In 3 years the two big barriers will be gone, an inadequate charging network and high battery costs, that's what GM is waiting for.
