That is a big number... GM EV backlog growing. How about parts supply?

This will be one of the more interesting aspects of renting EVs, will people even know how to find and use chargers. Advantage to Tesla, since that is built into the cars. Also, this makes Plug and Charge even more important.

My experience with dealer EV loaners from Chevy and Polestar is that they don't care what you bring it back with, as they can charge on premises (and it's pretty cheap). The issue with gas is they have to drive the vehicle somewhere to fill it. Once everything is EV it might be a different story though.
