After ditching its hybrids, GM says it needs to build more hybrids

After killing the Volt in 2019, now PHEV powertrains are back on the menu.

@arstechnica I wonder if they are feigning disinterest in the EV market hoping their competitors will follow suit, seeing them expand into that market hole, then deciding they better stay in.

That is their ‘fake’ didn’t work.

@arstechnica I almost bought a Volt but the interior was too cramped and the driving position was a bit off. I think the foot rest was nearer the driver than the gas pedal? Perhaps… can’t remember.

@arstechnica General Motors can only play catch up to market trends, never lead it

@arstechnica It was a mistake for GM to kill of PHEV, they are far more practical for people who do not have access to daily charging facilities.
