I've seen a handful of them.  They're bigger than you think.   I just think it was a mistake from the get-go to do another brand for them.  They should've been Chevy Express (with obligatory blue E) HD or something.  Not saying that'd have saved them, but creating a whole other product arm seemed like an exercise in waste.

The only "neat" thing about it is the customization, but start adding things, and you're blowing past well (better)-equipped alternatives.

I dunno about that-when I got my 2006 Mustang GT, my insurance on it was actually cheaper then my Focus SVT! I also think the Focus name plate was more expensive because it had younger and more inexperienced drivers against it too. 

I'm also thinking the assembly of them in Canada isn't doing them any favors with tariffs either.    I don't think I've ever seen one on the road-I've seen plenty of the Rivian Amazon delivery vehicles and a couple E-Transits, but they aren't setting the sales charts on fire either. 

GM to end production of electric Chevy Brightdrop vans https://www.theverge.com/news/803385/gm-chevy-brightdrop-ev-end-production-van-canada

If that's true, this would be a steal. Plus insurance on a 4 cylinder would be a lot less. 

They’ve been selling them for a couple of years already so I think they know the market.  I’ve seen $100k v8 RTRs at dealerships.  Not sure how many they sell.

You mean like the backup plan when MyFordTouch had to be launched with 1500 bugs and took almost a year to stabilize?  Or the backup plan to keep making ICE hybrids when the BEV takeover didn’t happen?

Yep. I can’t see anyone buying this over a Maverick. At the estimated 27.5k, you are getting a tiny truck that has zero options and 150 mile range.    For comparison, here are some truck, suv, and EV competitors that are vastly better equipped and in the same ballpark price wise.   Maverick xl hybrid - 28,145 chevrolet bolt EV - 28,595 chevrolet equinox ev - 33,600 chevrolet Trax - 20,500
