So GM is running the Wentzville plant 24/7 for up to 3 months as part of a special emergency status that allows them to relax time off requirements...at least that's what I'm reading.

That should help pump out some more Colorado and Canyons. Buyers are also getting mad they can't get their hands on the express vans they produce there as well.

GM is still considering Avenir or something similar for production.

Bolt will retain its name for production but will be referred to as "Bolt EV."

I still say GM needs to get some type of work van to compete with the Nissan and Transit connect. I have quite a few customers that are ditching their GM vans for the ford and nissan because they can get the taller version and actually stand in their WORK van when they are WORKING.
