CNet 'On The Road' with the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Another positive review, another 'Chevy takes the lead' type of video.... https://youtu.be/0CklGss7d2I

The fleet of 20 autonomous GM Bolt Electric Vehicles drove almost 10,000 miles in 2016. The vehicles kicked out of automatic mode 181 times (they call it an 18.5 % drop out rate). I imagine that is when the vehicle encounters something it doesn't know how to handle? Also of slight interest is...

The great thing about this detailed video is that it is of a real-live for-sale Bolt, not a show car or test model. https://youtu.be/HodGEC5HIKs

Based on a comment from GM that the Bolt EV will receive the full $14,000 tax rebate in Ontario, that means the MSRP has to be higher than $46,500 to qualify Using a basic exchange calculation, that actually puts the USD price at $34,100 which is cheaper than the stated $37,500. So I guess GM...

https://youtu.be/BXrJBoET7PM In the video the Electric Israeli comments that GM's lack of commitment in installing a fast charging network may lead to the failure of the Bolt, especially once the Tesla Model III hits the market. However, that's where I see vehicles like the Volt really coming...

GM has already said that the Bolt electric vehicle will replace the Spark EV when it comes out.... recently, Chevrolet announced the Spark EV would go on sale in the 3 provinces of Canada that offer EV incentives: British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Full article...

The problem with a 200 mile EV like this is that GM isn't planning on rolling out a supercharger network infrastructure similar to Tesla. You can't yet rely on public chargers to meet the needs of an electric vehicle like the Chevy Bolt if it's built in large numbers. There is no way for a...

These videos are from the North American International Auto Show when the Chevrolet Bolt EV concept was unveiled. Sorry to say the videos are pretty boring, but wanted to add them to the Bolt EV forum just as an archive for people interested in everything to do with the Bolt 200+ mile electric...

So the rumors are flying, and word from Detroit News is that GM will announce the production of the Bolt all-electric vehicle at the Detroit Motor Show next week. Do you think they'll have a production version to unveil, or are they going to show the concept and unveil the production version of...

The new Chevrolet Bolt EV concept was constructed in GM Australia’s design studio in Port Melbourne, with the Australian workshop one of only two in the world with the capability to bring such a project to reality. The five-door, tall-bodied crossover has been touted by GM CEO Mary Barra as a...

I love the glass roof on the Bolt EV concept, but I'm not sure it will make it to production. Are there currently any production electric vehicles with a glass roof? The Tesla Model S has some sort of panoramic roof I seem to recall... Anyways, here are some photos of the Bolt's glass roof...
