Sigh.
We've got a long way to go here in North America. On the upside, HEY TECH BROS, you only have to sell 6000 EVs to be #1! You could be HUGE!

I don’t really want the tech bros building cars. I want car companies who know how to actually manufacture a car that can also be repaired and stay on the road. Not people who think “right to repair” is an obscenity and shipping a product that isn’t actually finished but can hopefully be fixed with a software update is acceptable for devices where death is a real possibility in case of failure.
Having driven the Equinox and Blazer, there’s a lot to like about GM’s offerings and the Equinox is definitely a finalist for when I’m seriously looking, hopefully this fall. The main drawbacks I see are ditching Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, although the infotainment system supplied by Google allows installing some apps from the Play store (but also a drawback if you want to de-Google), and the Ioniq 5/EV6 have noticeably better acceleration and faster DC Fast Charging, if you have the right charger voltage. I think the Chevy charging speed is adequate, though, and not something I would use often.
