It’s great to see they think they will sell the Bolt in greater numbers. Unfortunately I am not so optimistic given their battery fiasco. We will see.

With Gas prices as they are, all EV's are selling like crazy, not to mention, I expect a big government fleet buy coming soon. The Bolt is really a good car for fleets, the federal government may buy 10's of thousands then offer them to states, counties and cities as a bulk buy, that is what often happens with cars, trucks and equipment, larger governments make huge bulk deals, then offer those deals to smaller agencies.
