    How does it handle?

    I just noticed the Bolt EV specifications says the rear axle is not independent suspension. Combine that with the short wheelbase, how does it handle out on the highway? Or is this a city car - but that's the point of the 200+ mile range right?

    US Order Guide

    From InsideEVs. This is for USA only (in Canada DC Fast Charging is not an option, it's standard). Not sure yet what other order differences there will be between countries.

    Bolt EV Canadian Pricing - $42,795 CAD - options and rebate info too

    That's good news for Canada - if it was a straight conversion from US MSRP to CDN then it would be too expensive and wouldn't sell well. However, I think this also points to the fact that the Bolt pricing in the USA is so high because GM can cash in on rebates. Once the incentives run out I...

    Ampera-e "Over 400km" range beats all competitors

    A press release by Opel states the Ampera-a range will be over 400 kms. Based on 328 mile EPA range, the NEDC range should be above the 500 km mark!

    Rear leg room

    Thanks for the video. The front seat looks like it is all the way forward, so skews the size perception a little bit. I'm guessing the Bolt will have higher seats than the Volt so likely feet can go underneath somewhat as well.

    Rear leg room

    Anyone know how the rear leg room in the Bolt EV compares to the Volt?

    GM planning to bring Bolt to your driveway for overnight test drive

    I'd gladly pay $20 to avoid talking to a car salesperson. I don't want them coming to my home. As long as the thing is charged up, I don't have a problem going to take a real test drive. If Nissan doesn't show us a real compelling LEAF 2.0 or other EV before the Bolt comes out, it'll be the...

    Opel Ampera-e will be built in U.S. alongside the Bolt EV

    Thought I would share this on the forum: Automotive News says the Opel Ampera-e will be built alongside the Bolt EV at GM's Orion plant near Detroit. Since the Ampera-e is essentially the same as the Bolt, minus some exterior plastic, it makes sense to use the already built assembly line.

    To lease, or to buy? That is the question...

    Very interesting, I did not know that!

    Opel Ampera-e pictures

    I didn't really think of that, but the Opel pictures do look like it is more of a 'concept' rendering than an actual photo? I'll update the post to include Bolt EV production photos too, thanks!

    Opel Ampera-e pictures

    And the Bolt EV for comparison, not a lot different: For reference, here is what the Bolt EV concept looked like:

    Opel Ampera-e pictures

    The Opel Ampera-e is GM's European spec Chevy Bolt EV, and will go on sale sometime 'in the near future'. Aside from different badges, there is a slightly different front and rear bumper.

    Drive mode options

    From my interpretation of the information from GM it sounds like the pedal will only do friction braking, with the paddle controlling all regen. But! Companies have been known to make confusing statements before
