Thanks for the video my friend. Voelker is a contributing editor to Car and Driver and wrote an article in the January/February 2026 issue of that rag recently with themes similar to what's in the video:   EVs are not going away. At whatever rates of adoption, they will continue to grow as a percentage of every global market, including some of those outside the wealthiest cohort. As one engineer noted long ago, the automobile is one of the very few remaining high-volume consumer products we've not yet electrified. It will take generations, but it is happening.      

That was the plan all along. One of the big shots at GM said the following back in summer 2025 when 2027 Chevy Bolt product details were first announced:   “After production ended, we heard our customer’s feedback and their love for this product. So the Bolt is coming back—by popular demand and better than ever—for a limited time. This is a celebration of what Bolt means to our customers and to Chevrolet. It’s your chance to own a popular EV that’s affordable. So, if you’ve been waiting, this is the moment. Don’t miss it!"

They might let them, but if they are dumping product (say what would be a 30-40K EV CUV for $20K) they would be getting slapped with 200% tariffs or other things. 

And the Bolt is dead again...LOL This Is When 2027 Chevrolet Bolt Production Will End

When my wife and I were shoppin' for a new car for her last summer, our top two choices were MME GT and Ioniq 5 N. In its first few years, Ioniq 5 and other Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis eGMP vehicles had more than a few problems with the integrated charging control unit (ICCU). By 2026, Hyundai Group redesigned the ICCU for much better reliability and extended warranty coverage on existing vehicles, while also lowering prices of Ioniq 5 and its siblings from Kia and Genesis.   Imagine cruising along when the car suddenly displays a power supply warning, slows, and eventually stops right in the middle of the road. This sudden power loss, which occurred intermittently in models built on Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP platform, sparked serious concerns about EV safety.   Even after software updates and recalls, customer anxiety lingered. Hyundai Motor Group has now taken a decisive step that could reshape trust in its electric lineup. The company extended the ICCU warranty from 10 years or 160,000 km (100,000 miles) to an unprecedented 15 years or 400,000 km (248,000 miles). Every eligible vehicle receives the extended warranty automatically.   Hyundai will also reimburse the full repair cost of any ICCU-related failures dating back to July 24, 2022. Owners only need to bring their receipts to a service center. This proactive stance marks a sharp shift from past criticism of slow responses and demonstrates a much more direct, customer-centered strategy.   No automaker is immune from quality issues. How each automaker goes about dealing with them makes all the difference, and Hyundai Group has been doin' it the right way recently.   Incidentally, my wife and I got the MME GT. 😎   

Good question, maybe old Donald is the path for a foot in the door if a plant is built. If not, it’s a matter of time. That my opinion.

Time to dust off the "Red Label" trademark...
