my first impressions dealing with their team are very positive. there is a lot of interchangeability of thier parts with generics (bosch wipers for example) and they do not seem focused on capturing margin. They seem focused on building loyalty and keeping cost of ownership down so that is really interesting. ---

$20k is after the tax credit which may or may not be around? Also, as stated low range at that price with no features. Honestly, the base equinox EV is a crazy good deal if you want an EV.
