#2Do you need to log into it in order to shift it out of park? Can you drive it without a smartphone on your person? Do certain HVAC functions require a paid subscription?

#3By far the biggest problem I encountered with the Bolt EV was its transient but recurring inability to charge from DC charging stations. The Equinox has a far higher charging power, up to 150kW. It makes me wonder if they fixed anything and what.

Unusually for almost any car these days, it doesn't support CarPlay, so you will be required to use whatever "smart" functions are built-in.

#5I just can’t get excited about large EVs anymore.
We need cheaper, smaller EVs in the US yesterday. Looking at the options China and Europe have and comparing to what we have you can really get the sense that car companies here only care about making SUVs/trucks/and _some_ crossovers electric but don’t actually care about making small cars electric because of one thing.. profit. They know they’ll make more money on the massive cars but that’s horrible for us because it further expands the need for larger parking spots, wider roads, and I won’t even get into the fatality statistics when comparing cars of different sizes.
The only thing that will force car companies to get smaller cars into the U.S. market is regulation. Then and only then will we see true EV offerings around the 20k mark

#6It's a shame they couldn't bring it in at $30k because at $35k they will have to compete against the likes of the Volvo EX30, although this edges out on range.

#7There's no way in hell they're making money at that price. They're probably not even breaking even.
Even the higher trims are going to have extremely thin margins, if they're making money at all. Seeing as it's an $8K jump in price from the base model to the second level trim, I imagine dealers are going to make it very difficult to buy a base model.

If regulation is needed to force the existence of electric cars around the 20k mark, that means nobody wants to buy them now

Or competition from China. Despite a lot of junk, there are some good electric cars from China.

If GM wants to drop CarPlay and force me to use their broken laggy garbage I just won't buy their car same goes for Tesla. Not paying a subscription fee for GPS.
