As GM prepares for the introduction of two very upscale electric vehicles, the GMC Hummer EV and the Cadillac Lyriq, the Bolt lineup plays an important role, it faces one pesky problem.
The new GMC Hummer EV I drove last week manages to illustrate both sides of the size-versus-speed conundrum. The GMC Hummer EV. GMC The reborn Hummer is a 1,000-horsepower, 4,111-kilogram (9,063-pound) off-road burrito, stuffed with a 200-kilowatt-hour battery pack that’s the largest and heaviest of any EV in history.
An affordable Chevy Camaro EV? 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with Collector’s Edition Package (Source: Chevrolet) Chevy Camaro to live on as an affordable ($35K) EV Reuss recently confirmed the news, telling MotorTrend that the Camaro needs to make a comeback as a real pony car, but with electric power. That could become a reality.
More-affordable versions will begin production later this year, including a 650-horsepower Air Touring for $96,500, and an 800-horse Grand Touring at $140,400. Every buyer is eligible for a $7,500 federal taxcredit, pushing the most-affordable Air to $71,400. The now-public company, flush with $4.5
Despite all-electric vehicles being heralded as environmentally sound solutions that would kick down the door to affordable mobility, there haven’t been a lot of good examples hitting the market recently. General Motors recently released the absolutely ludicrous GMC Hummer EV while the Chevrolet Bolt is being discontinued.
GM said the growth comes as it offers a wide range of options, including electric SUVs like the Chevy Blaze EV and affordable models like the Chevy Equinox EV. And that’s before the $7,500 EV taxcredit. Over 15,000 Chevy Equinox models were sold in Q3, what GM calls “the most affordable EV in the US with 315+ miles of range.”
By February of this year, we learned that “priced around $30,000” actually means “$35,000,” which is higher than expected but still affordable. It does not appear as quickly developed and assembled as it was (Chevy said this was the fastest BEV brought to market aside from the Hummer). Plus, the Equinox offers 319 miles of range.
GM’s Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV both saw solid sales growth in Q1, with 5,800 (+499%) and 1,668 units sold, respectively. New models coming to boost market share Meanwhile, the new electric Chevy Equinox, which GM says is the most affordable EV with over 300 miles range, is already available to order.

On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV each offer their own takes on the five-passenger family SUV, with the cost of base model Equinox LT FWD models with 319 miles of EPA-rated range dropping to just $27,500 after you apply the $7,500 Federal taxcredit (which, for now at least, is still a thing).

Their popular and affordable Bolt EV and Bolt EUV have had huge success, and the automaker is continuing to expand its electric offerings in the coming years. The Lightning is expected to compete against similar electric trucks like the aforementioned Chevy Silverado EV, GMC’s Hummer EV, the Rivian R1T , and the Tesla Cybertruck.
Should expensive electric vehicles be excluded from the federal electric vehicle taxcredit (IRC 30D)? While this question is often hotly debated on social media, the proposed changes to IRC 30D would draw a line in the sand and establish an $80,000 MSRP cap on the credit.
The new EV taxcredit breakdown could award as much as $12,500 for an EV purchase, but that’s not the best part. Over the past several days, more details regarding the EV taxcredit have been detailed, especially as revisions to the bill were made just a few days ago to include trucks, SUVs, and vans.
The event saw Barra discuss several topics, from Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s argument that the Biden administration’s EV taxcredit should be axed to GM’s supposed lead in the electric vehicle sector. “It’s one thing if you’re selling luxury vehicles to a slice of the public. It’s their only vehicle.
But the difference is that only a minority of Americans today can afford to buy a new car. Most Americans do not have that saved and do not have the credit to do that. There are also, incidentally, income taxcredits at the federal and state levels for installation of EV charging equipment. So that's what it takes.

For electric vehicles, the BBBA includes multiple proposed changes to IRC 30D, more commonly knows as the federal EV taxcredit. Perhaps the mostly likely is the requirement for EVs to be assembled in the US in a union factory to qualify for an additional $4,500 taxcredit. TaxCredit Becomes Refundable.
We dont want to sound alarmist, but it sure looks like President-elect Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies are plotting to kill federal EV taxcredits somewhat sooner than later and the tariffs theyre promising arent going to make cars cheaper anytime soon, either.

On Wednesday, Senator John Barrasso, of Wyoming, with a group of 14 Republican Senators signed on as co-sponsors of the bill, introduced legislation that could effectively end the EV taxcredit. The oil industry appears eager to see the taxcredit end. For that, it would take an act of Congress.
