I think a potential end game (which looks nothing like today's market) could easily involve some modularity. You chose the car, then you choose what propulsion system makes sense for you. Instead of choosing between a V8 and a V6, you choose between an ICE or a battery.
Multiple choice - What could GM do to increase EREV sales? Ideas? (2nd try)
[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.

"Weird" would be the more accurate termNo one would ever call you "average"
The choices should be ICE, Series Hybrid, EREV, or pure EV, then small/medium/large battery sizes, with or without the optional Flux Capacitor.I think a potential end game (which looks nothing like today's market) could easily involve some modularity.

This modularity seems to me an interesting point. I do think this already exists to some extent in the market. We see it in the Prius line (HEV or PHEV), Honda Clarity (FCEV, BEV, PHEV), Hyundai Sonata (ICE, HEV, PHEV), Ford Fusion (ICE, HEV, PHEV) and in some others. I'm not sure if we then see some battery sizing options yet, but within some BEV lines (Tesla Model S, upcoming Leaf) that has been going on awhile. As to battery sizing options in a PHEV or EREV line, I'm not sure if that's out there.I think a potential end game (which looks nothing like today's market) could easily involve some modularity.
