The rise of inexpensive Chinese electric vehicles has upped the pressure on legacy automakers who have turned to suppliers, from battery materials makers to chipmakers, to squeeze out costs and develop affordable EVs quicker than previously planned.
Chevy Bolt EV is $26.5k MSRP. Every dealer around me has it listed at $30k+
I don’t know why the first example you give is a $70k car unless you were trying to push a narrative.
I stick to my belief that the dealerships are tanking the sales due to incompetence, on top of the inflation driving down sales for all cars ICE or EV right now.
No agenda, I’m very pro electric, I just think a lot of the MFGs could stand to make more affordable EV models.
And yeah I think dealerships are not acting in good faith because EVs are way less of a cash cow for their repair departments, among other reasons. I think it’s about time they let consumers buy direct.

I agree entirely. 👍
