General Motors EV1
A fun fact shared often in the automotive media is that electric cars fairly handily outsold gasoline-powered vehicles in the earliest days of the automobile era.

1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
For 2022, the Chevrolet Equinox compact crossover will be available with just one engine–a 1.5-liter turbocharged four. A brawny turbo 2.0-liter engine was previously available, but it seems demand for the bigger mill was light–it was dropped after the 2020 model year.
Wuling Hongguang Mini EV
From January through July of this year, General Motors’ Chevrolet division sold almost 22,000 Bolt EVs.
