"In April, GM said it would end production of the Bolt, flipping the Michigan plant where it is made to produce electrified versions of two trucks, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado. The car, which comes as a hatchback and slightly larger crossover, uses an older battery platform than Ultium, GM’s new battery system.

...

Yet production of cars and trucks powered by Ultium batteries have been hampered by delays at a supplier that have limited GM’s capacity to build battery modules."

Perhaps the economics of batteries has changed? Or the economy can't support $80k trucks as much?
