If I had the helm, I'd have gone with a Malibu sized Voltec model and an Equinox EV (she's doing that one) to start off. I'm not sure EV pickup trucks are going to sustain the investment; it seems to me EV pickups have limitations for real workday use cases. That's why she gets the Big Bucks.

Those companies might think twice now. Prices for Silverado EV Work Truck in 3WT and 4WT trim came out last week. Only difference between the trims is pack size. $80k for a work truck.
3WT - $72,905
4WT - $77,905
How exactly does GM plan a on making the 1WT trim at $39k. My guess they make handful of them initially and then raise 1WT trim at least $10k.
