My dealer experiences were
My dealer experiences were excellent. I bought a 2017 in 2016, went to two Chevy dealers, both were knowledgeable about the car, neither tried to steer me to a different car, I ended up making my decision based on which one had the color that I wanted in stock. I've also been very happy with my service since then. In my area dealers weren't the problem. Chevy was never interested in selling more cars then they needed for CARB credits and they were able to do that with zero marketing. At it's peak the Volt was selling 2500 cars a month, that's a really good number for any EV that's not a Tesla, the Clarity is currently selling about a third as many. GM lost money on each Volt they sold, the only thing that made it worthwhile to them were the CARB credits. The Bolt gets three times as many CARB credits as the Volt per car which is why they got rid of the Volt, they can get all the CARB credits they need and only have to sell 1/3rd as many Bolts and they can do that with zero marketing so that's why they aren't spending a penny to market Bolts just as they didn't spend a penny marketing Volts.
