To protect the rest of the players. LG and Panasonic make far better panels at higher cost though. I guess you don't want them going out of business due to their cost structures being way higher. Everything with China and tariffs is political too so can't really go into deep arguments on that subject here.

Tesla's solar roof is downright awesome too bad it's taking them so long to make it in volume. But it's amazing every single house should have one.
Back to GM they have a very long history of botching every EV they come out with will be interesting to see if they finally are serious.

I wouldn't call the Chevy Bolt "botched" just because it doesn't sell in the Tesla Model 3's numbers. Though its motor and battery are not as advanced as the Model 3's, it is still a decent small BEV. Somewhat overpriced perhaps, but, IMO, but that is the case with virtually every BEV. And, come to think of it, it does sell pretty well here in the D. C. area.

GM did botch the Bolt, just look at it. It had decent tech but they decided to make it as ugly as possible to discourage people from buying it. Classic GM.

A lot of people in this area seem to like the Bolt, but, no it is not as popular as the Model 3. And, if you are going to start tossing stones at ugliness, IMO, the Model 3's interior is about as strange as they come.

What does the bolt look like?

Why would California pay for a private sector utility? The utilities will do what they always do and raise debt to build out infrastructure. California also charges an EV tax to offset the gas tax so no money lost there. If there is an opportunity to make a lot of money through additional infrastructure investments economics dictates someone will take advantage of the opportunity it. This will happen.

Cali has an idiotic incentive that makes more profit by building the power plant itself than actually selling the electricity. Guess who gets to pay for it. Some of the highest costs in the nation yet very high overcapacity while demand is falling and still importing a substantial amount of power. Total lunacy.

I gotta agree the Model 3 is way better looking than the Bolt
