The OP asked whether the 2017 Bolt or the 2017 Ioniq was a better car. He/She didn't ask whether it was a cheaper car. He/She didn't ask about hypothetical Ioniq in year of our Lord 20XX. By stating that the Ioniq EV "target audience are California residents", you essentially agreed that it's...

I did not say that Ioniq is unattractive to all buyers. And neither did I say I couldn't put an Ioniq to good use, to the tune of 20K miles a year easily. The point is that the 2017 Ioniq doesn't have the range to fill the role of the only vehicle of a typical US owner. This seems like a...

Frankly, I do not understand Ioniq's purpose on the US market. Even as other manufacturers (who want a slice of action in the upcoming EV party) are sweating blood to come up with a 200-250 mile, highly distinct car, Hyundai surprises us with a 120-mile Ioniq EV that looks like a facelifted 2009...

I am Prius-trained, and I drive every car as if it were a hybrid, usually achieving 10-15% better fuel economy than the EPA estimate. If I drive the Bolt in this mode an on my normal routes (a little bit of everything), it returns 4.8 mi/kWh, translating into theoretical 288 mi on full...

Next time I go to IKEA, I'll l :shock: k out for your Bolt. I live at the northernmost tip of VA and circulate in NoVa for a couple of days a week. I am yet to see one single Bolt (that's not mine) on the road. Which is kind of weird, because Bolts have been in Virginia dealerships since Feb...

What the Bloomberg pen-pusher (along with many others) overlooked is that the Bolt ushered in the era of pragmatic, affordable long-range EV's. Not everybody invests money into a car to salivate over its (supposedly) "sexy" shape. I need my car to carry my work gear, for which I need a hatch...

Perhaps I should post this question in a separate thread: where can I get a donut-style spare wheel? Has anyone done that? I do not have 100% confidence the self-sealing tire notion, unless the penetrating object is a small nail or screw.

Whatever for would they need another compliance car? Don't they already have the Spark (and possibly the Volt, which is kind of electric, too). I think it's more like real-life feasibility study, because Bolt happens to be the first utilitarian, non-exotic, long range EV.
