Did we just travel 15 years backwards in EV tech? 🤔⚡️
Back in 2016, GM gave us 85 km of electric range in the Volt, and drivers wanted more. Fast-forward to today: folks are lining up for import plug-in hybrids that barely squeeze out 50–60 km before burning gas—carrying the weight and maintenance of two separate powertrains.
Meanwhile, Equinox EV drivers are cruising with over 500 km of pure range, skipping the pump entirely while gas prices creep toward $2.00/L.
That’s why these aren’t sitting on the lot. They’re spoken for before the carrier unloads.
