I have no problem with manufacturers offering EVs but many for at least now don't want EVs. Maybe GM instead of planning to do away with the Malibu to make more EVs, GM should have offered the Malibu as a hybrid only like Toyota is offering the Camry for 2025. It would cost GM a lot less to offer a hybrid Malibu and it would outsell any EV that plant would produce. I even think GM would increase sales of the Malibu as a hybrid only and more competitive pricing.
