GM is under the regulations of needing to produce a certain amount of zero-emissions vehicles for CAFE regulations. So the automaker's lobbyists have submitted requests to the Trump Administration to do away with the requirements. If the Trump admin removes the requirement, will the Bolt just...

While I agree that the best way for a person new to EVs to convert from gasoline is to drive an electric vehicle, I'm not conviced a driveway delivery is all that great. I had the experience of test driving the Spark EV in freight mode, which was limited to 5mph. I've heard that some people...

Elon Musk keeps saying the Model 3 is competing more in the luxury segment, which I guess could be true if optioning out a Model 3 gets into the $50-$60K range. However, when comparing apples to apples, we have to compare the base Model 3 which then gets into the Supercharger access vs...

Wow - when I first read this I was amazed. The UK wants all their vehicles to be zero-emissions by 2050! Now it makes sense why Chevrolet / Opel are pushing so hard with their electric vehicle offerings! Full article here...

Sounds like the NHTSA has approved use of a camera/electronic display in place of a rear view mirror for the GM Bolt electric vehicle. Do you think this will be an easy thing to get used to? Or will it take a bit? Trying to think too if the image will be 'reversed' like a mirror image or if...

Will GM just build the Bolt EV, or will they start to expand their line up to CUVs, SUVs, trucks, minivans etc? Just small-to-medium will only last so long. And Tesla has mentioned that the Model 3 will have a sedan & crossover version If GM is only selling the Bolt, then their intent is just...

The specifications and details on the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV have been leaked, and this is likely the main points of what CEO Mary Barra was going to talk about during her 1pm PST/4pm EST keynote speech at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. •9 hours to fully recharge on Level 2 (likely...

InsideEVs is reporting that GM already has 55 test mules up and running. GM head of EVs Pam Fletcher says "They're running fast - the fact we can show you fifty-something cars running is busy." The test Bolts are being built at GM's Orion plant as well as in South Korea where the Spark EV is...

At the Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition earlier in May, LG Chem announced it is ready to supply up to 120 kWh battery packs to EV manufacturers that want to build vehicles to rival the Tesla Model S. LG Chem is already the manufacturer of several lower-range EVs, like the Spark EV...

While GM is preparing to launch the second generation Chevrolet Volt and getting ready to introduce the 200+ mile Chevy Bolt next year, it's big profits are currently from pickup trucks. GMC and Chevrolet sold 235,000 Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks in just the first quarter of the year...

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...

Sounds like GM has adjusted their Bolt EV range numbers, from 200+ miles to a maximum range of 320 kms (which is 198.8 miles, and since it's the maximum, that indicates under optimum conditions - sunny day, flat road, 30mph?) Found this on InsideEvs.com...

I enjoy reading EV news from all around the world, but sometimes things are lost in translation... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dekritischebelegger.nl%2Faandelen%2Ffondsen%2Fgeneral-motors-wir-leben-autos%2F

The Teen Driver feature will be available on the 2016 Chevy Malibu, and will make it to other vehicles in the future. It's a nanny mode for your Chevy Bolt that will help keep your teen driver out of trouble (maybe a wife too :D ) Parents will be able to place limits on the car, such as being...
