Given 20 years difference and the known reasons why the EV1 leases were ended on time, it doesn’t really seem relevant to compare to Bolts that have been sold to customers.
> In late 2003, General Motors, then led by CEO Rick Wagoner, officially canceled the EV1 program.[11][46] GM stated that it could not sell enough of the cars to make the EV1 profitable.[47] In addition, the cost of maintaining a parts supply and service infrastructure for the 15-year minimum required by the state of California meant that existing leases would not be renewed, and all the cars would have to be returned to GM's possession.
Obviously, market conditions 20 years later are very, very different and with increasing government mandates for zero emissions car sales, maintaining and improving on sales of their EVs is a key component of GM’s future in a way that it couldn’t have been in 2001.
Edit: also, to point out this article is about 69,000 Bolt EVs - only about 1000 EV1s were ever produced. The difference in scale and investment is massive.
