Here is the problem ...
Despite the heavy hype surrounding the car's unveiling last month at the Detroit auto show, the sources said, GM's production target for the Bolt is relatively modest, at about 25,000-30,000 cars a year.
They are going to make less 200 mile cars in 2017 than the 85 mile Leaf in 2014 ? That too Leaf sold more in US alone in 2014 than they want to make for the world in 2017 ...
GM basically lacks commitment.
I expect Nissan to sell 100k or more in US when their doubled range Leaf comes out.
