[Disclaimer - opinions and poll setup here entirely my own - not speaking for anyone else].
[Also - sorry to a few who already voted - the original setup I had was missing at least one key option, so it seemed best to delete and repost.]

There have been stories recently that GM is considering ending Volt sales. As well there is some indication it is headed in a strong BEV direction. This poll is to brainstorm a bit as to ways that GM could improve sales of vehicles equipped with its impressive EREV technology.

It's the Stealerships, when I went in to test drive a Silverado, talking to them they still don't get it. It also goes against their business model. Why would they push EV/EREV when they don't come back for service. This is why Musk wanted his.own showrooms with dedicated EV friendly sales people. Study after study has the Stealerships selling buyers on gas cars. Until the Stealerships die out EVs won't be sold.
