Its a compliance car because the way the fuel efficiency regulation works requires companies to have a balance of cars. I'm not from the US so I don't really understand it.

The Bolt is probably better then other compliance cars because they can see the future as well. Also who would buy those even lower range cars now that there is more competition.

Careful speaking about things you are unfamiliar with.

This does more harm than good.

What are you talking about? The regulations are real, even if I don't fully understand how exactly the work.

Just because the current 'compliance car' and the Bolt are not the same does not mean its not for many of the same reasons.

They did built the Bolt to be able to comply with regulation EVEN while the Bolt itself is losing money per car.
