GM has the Bolt, Blazer, Siverado, and Hummer EV's. I think they're genuinely trying to make EV's work. Ford and Stellantis on the other hand...

Ford has ambitious plans. It's still vapor ware, but promising. https://www.axios.com/2025/06/18/ford-china-ev

Stellantis sells a good number of EVs in Europe, but almost entirely in form factors that won't sell in North America. Perhaps this expertise and experience will be useful.

I hope domestic manufacturers survive the "protection" Trump is giving them, but the protection may prove fatal.

They cancelled the Bolt in 2023.

...and later announced it would be coming back but on the new battery platform they were using for their other new EVs. It's supposed to go into production later this year.
