    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?

    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.

    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.

    Will the Bolt EV be profitable?

    There's much talk in the electric vehicle sphere about whether or not companies are actually making money on the EVs they are selling at current prices. For example, some feel that without government subsidies, Tesla wouldn't exist. Other companies, like Nissan, have admitted to having spent...

    Bolt EV wheels with plastic inserts?

    On Chevy's official Bolt EV webpage, I came across this picture and description. Do the wheels on the concept vehicle have these plastic inserts? If so, how come no one has said anything about this, in all the hype and write-ups of the Bolt EV at the North American International Auto Show...
