There doesn't seem to be much market for EV sedans, or its really being eaten up by Tesla while SUVs are more wide open. Is there something about EVs that make SUVs more appealing? They still seem to be heavier than sedans (4,555 pounds for the Model Y vs. 3,650 pounds starting weight for the Model 3).


> GM says it expects it will build more than 70,000 Bolt EVs and EUVs this year before production ends for good. The death of the Bolt doesn't mean the death of affordable EVs at GM, however. Among the three EVs it will launch this year is the Equinox EV, which should also start at less than $30,000.
