Is This A New Small GM EV Being Tested?-July 2024

An eagle-eyed reader in West Virginia spotted a coven of carefully disguised GM test vehicles in a parking lot and used an image-capture device, cunningly integrated into a portable radio-telephone, to take these pictures, which were then sent to us via electromagnetic-post.

I mean, maybe, but other than a very general sense of shape and size, it’s really hard to tell from these pictures. The charge port looks to be on the front drivers’ side quarter panel, same as the Bolt.

Maybe this is a Bolt redesign? Or maybe just a Bolt-based mule for something else? A compact crossover EV seems like a pretty safe bet at the moment, so that would not surprise me one bit.

Clearly, I’m guessing. But it looks like GM is up to something. I bet it’ll be a new Pontiac EV. Probably a .
