I have no idea where bolt batteries come from but I know that GM has announced a factory here in the states coming soon. Tesla batteries come from HERE in the US.

As always there is a certain segment of the population that loves to find anything that makes something less than perfect. I remember people saying they would never own. a cell phone - too unreliable. ahem...

A “problem”??? Yikes these are very serious issues. BTW I am a proponent of EVs - just don’t force them down our throats. It should be a choice. I believe that EVs will become the majority of vehicles at some time in the next decade or so. But do not feel that those who do not move are Against that technology. But it must make financial sense for consumers. For us not yet. Period.

BTW just heard that the new Bill signed will provide EV buyers earning up to $250,000/ yr to get the $7500 tax credit. OMG.

BTW if we do go EV I would go to a plug in hybrid. Best of both worlds IMO. Most have EV/electric range at about 50 miles which would be perfect for us. That coupled with the gas engine would get a 400+ mile range and stop for gas on long trips. And or plug it in to get the Electric range too. The Hyundai Tucson is rated very highly and tops in the tech. Just sayin’
