Interesting article in The Wall Street Journal a few days ago. I'll link it, but its behind a paywall so know that.

It's also long so I'm not going to cut and paste, but the title Why General Motors Boss Mary Barra Is Slamming the Brakes on Lofty EV Ambitions pretty much sums up the content and the Cliff Notes version is what we all already know - not enough people are buying them.

It's also interesting that GM decided to lobby hard for loosening government emission rules and fuel economy standards. So essentially GM has done a complete 180. On the one hand you have to give her credit for accepting reality, but on the other you have to wonder if her corporate vision is whatever is the popular political position at the time.
