Detroit based automakers' business models depend heavily on the ability to fleece customers in key market segments. As in, "the world's most profitable" auto market. The Bolt was never in one of those segments. Their challenge now is to figure out how to convince customers to come and get themselves fleeced for EVs in the same number as they did for ICE vehicles. Competition is making that seem to be a remote prospect.

A company should not have any debt if they can fund a dividend, otherwise it means all their profits were fake.

Farley has gone out of his way multiple times in recent months to talk about EREVs making a lot of sense. Particularly for people with range anxiety. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Ford pursues it. I just doubt somewhat Ford has already committed. An EREV is basically a version of a PHEV. Generally Americans have not shown much interest in PHEVs. I think a lot of Americans figure if they have to plug in at all you might as well go all they way to a pure EV. Otherwise just stick to pure ICE or hybrid where you don't have to think about plugging in at all.
