So frustrating. After years of being priced too high and then also going through a complete battery recall, sales of the most affordable long-range #electricvehicles are finally strong.

Really hope they revive the nameplate for an Ultium-version and price it below $25,000. https://insideevs.com/news/664058/chevrolet-bolt-eveuv-discontinued-2023/

@domenick On a related note, traditional buyers of pickup trucks are seeking alternatives. What will Chevy do when farmers give them the proverbial middle finger? https://urbanists.social/@straphanger/110259614792335619

They've been importing mini-trucks from #Japan that do the job and cost a lot less. https://www.economist.com/united-states/2023/04/20/rural-americans-are-importing-tiny-japanese-pickup-trucks

@GeorgeMari That's a pretty niche market but I, personally, would love to have an electric kei pickup truck.
I was looking into importing one myself a few years back, with a mind to convert it.

I think there'll be some smaller electric pickups out before too long. Not kei small, but small by our standards.

@domenick Maybe the small size isn’t the appeal for American farmers, but the small price is.
@GeorgeMari it's a big part of why the Ford Maverick is so popular. Good value for money.
