Came across an article on MotorTrend about the Volt, and the comments have quite a few people saying they would likely buy the Bolt EV when it comes out instead of a second, or another, Volt. 200 miles is enough for them not to worry about range anxiety.

GM themselves say that Volt owners typically try to avoid using the gasoline engine as much as possible, so how does that translate into people going with the Volt 2.0 when the Bolt will extend the range to around 4 times what the Volt gets? Seems to me like the Volt may lose sales numbers to the Bolt...
 
I think it will steal a few sales, but typically, people afraid to go full EV will buy the Volt. It's the full EV crowd or people who own a Volt looking for a second vehicle that will be interested in the Bolt EV.

It will likely attract more people to the EV crowd as it could be the first 200+ mile EV that's affordable to many.
