Who cares about complexity if they're reliable?

Toyota and Ford hybrids have been successfully used by cab companies for quite some time now. The old Honda IMA setup was troublesome, but their new setup is great.

It's not like standard gas power trains are simple anymore either--turbocharging, direct injection, and dual clutch transmissions are common, even in affordable cars.

Regardless of the rationality, people have range anxiety. (Cue stat about how majority of drivers go <40mi a day).

200mi+ is the threshold that will make a lot of people feel completely comfortable using an EV day-in and day-out.

Charging stations will go up when EV sales go up--this will help.

For many people this won't have the mythos or upstart appeal of the upcoming Tesla Model 3-- and that's a shame, cause they did a real good job on it.

Yet I do believe the 200+ mile range and price will get enough people in one and really start to shift the EV from being an early adopter accessory to a viable everyday car.

Good on ya, GM.
