"But without a supercharger network".....any EV they build is junk.

The Bolt (and Volt) have proven "any EVs GM builds" are definitely not junk. In fact, the Bolt is the #1 ranked EV in reliability.

I was being somewhat facetious. I've got one year, 12k miles with my 2018 Premiere....I absolutely love my Bolt. I have yet to go back to the dealership...works well, reliable...no drama. But....only juice it's been feed is from my home L2 charger. I have yet to DC Fast Charge...kinda jelly of the Superchargers.
Except JD ranked it as average. The number of shift and pack issues might weigh it down.
You'll note that when you post a URL into a post here and submit, the URL is converted into a hyperlink with the title of the article.
To get the title, the forum software queries the URL. The Bloomberg site obviously sees something in the request header that makes it (correctly) see the request as not coming from a web browser so returns a page the asks the client to confirm that it's not a robot. It does this because it's a news site and doesn't want to be scraped. The forum software simply uses the title of the returned page.

I expect folk know this, but in case helpful:
As an alternative [to just pasting in the raw URL] you can type the Title you would like to show, highlight it, press the LINK button and then paste your URL into the pop-up dialog box.

GM isn't planning on dropping the price as the tax credit phases out: GM says no cut in Chevy Bolt sticker price as U.S. tax credit for EVs drops | Reuters
I don't know of any traditional manufacturer that drops actual MSRP of a car during the same model year.

Another source... GM Won't Cut Chevy Bolt Price Amid Lower Tax Incentive
GM’s EV tax credit will be cut again in October, to $1,875, and go away altogether in April 2020. Both GM and Tesla have lobbied the federal government for an extension of the incentive, but it hasn’t gained any traction among lawmakers, who have before threatened to cut it altogether in a bid to curb government spending.
For now, GM is likely to throw more cash and attractive lease deals on the Bolt to keep it viable as rivals such as Hyundai and Kia release new EVs that are eligible for the full $7,500 credit. While that’s fine for the short term, the Bolt may need more support to prop up its sales.

No, but they have the dealership problem: they've sold them inventory, so can't cut MSRP.
Instead you have the 2013/2014 Chevrolet Volt, where they cut MSRP by $5k on the 2014, and had a $7k? rebate on the 2013.
Zombie thread resurrection!
Quick note about the vampire drain in the Bolt (or rather lack thereof). Left for a 3 week vacation with my Bolt at 29% SOC and 74 miles on the GOM.
Came back 3 weeks later, to find it had exactly 74 miles on the GOM (and somehow gained 1%). Only vampire drain in the Bolt if it it sucks up juice from a nearby appliance.

Chevy SparkEV has zero vampire drain so why the surprise?
> Anyone interested in a Chevy Boat EV?
The problem with the Bolt/Spark motor is that one main bearing is inside the diff unit. Looked to me like a non-trivial task to reduce the power unit to just the motor (for use in a boat or whatever). GM probably figured this out as the 200hp motor in this p-boat is most likely just the everyday Bolt motor.
