When I went to buy my Chevy
When I went to buy my Chevy Volt in 2017, the salesman told me the volts were in the back of the parking lot and it would take at least half an hour to bring one. I insisted I wanted a red volt. While I waited, the salespeople tried to persuade me to buy an Impala or a Camaro. The full impression I got was that the dealership, or perhaps GM had an anti electric attitude.
Had they promoted the Volts, they would have been selling like crazy. It is an excellent car. It is very economic to maintain, reliable, comfortable, and it has acceleration!
I assume GM has opposing internal factions regarding EVs. The engineers must be pro EV and the marketing people are against.
