GM also makes a few other EVs now like the Equinox EV or Blazer EV, but those only came out recently so there will be few if any available used. They also have the Cadillac Lyriq EV (Hello, Speedy) that's been around for several years so there should be some used.
I'm liking the GM EVs. Seem to be a good product at a good price. But one thing gives me pause.
They are a bespoke platform, not a converted one like the KIA Niro.
Given that, they have a really long hood, just as long as their ICE equivlents, but no frunk, Why?
The T*sla products have a shorter hood, but a have a frunk. The Ford Mach-E does as well,
The Hyundai/Kia Dedicated EVs do not, but they have a very short hood.
So if GM got something so basic about an EV wrong, what else did they get wrong?
I am really down on GM in general right now after the engine in the gas Equinox I had succumbed to design flaws (common problems across multiple models).
I don't know what to think of the Equinox EV. Obviously, it doesn't have a gas engine so that's good. It has a good range and is reasonably priced. But I have been monitoring an Equinox EV group and am seeing quirky problems which are a little too common so I don't think I trust GM on this.
