The other interesting part is that Volt sales were the highest of any plug-in vehicle in January.... could be that some people who heard about the Bolt and went to dealers to check it out ended up with a Volt. If Chevy works on the seats, and actually follows their rollout plan, then August and...

Tomorrow GM will announce the number of Bolt EVs sold in the month of January 2017. It's the first full month of sales, and even though the Bolt is available in 2-ish states, GM themselves have hinted at 1200+ sales. During a Bolt test drive event in California last week GM spokespeople mention...

I have a 1:64 from an auto show last year, also in pre-production Orange :)

I don't like 'videos' that are just images. I want a real video of a test drive from the point of view of the driver. How does the Bolt EV move in the real world?

Maybe what he means it that it doesn't stand out as an EV like some of the others, which is a feature IMHO because then 'normal' people won't mind buying it :)

No power seats from the looks of that list?

https://youtu.be/cmMdy1TYpsE Here are the specs: 0 to 50 km/h (31 mph) in 3.2 seconds 80 to 120 km/h (50 to 74 mph) in just 4.5 seconds top speed: 150 km/h (93 mph)

On October 1, Opel will debut the rebadged Chevy Bolt as the Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show. Hopefully they will give us a price and timeline for when it becomes available at the show!

Too bad there aren't enough people in non-CARB states to complain and convince government to make them CARB states - then they could be first on the EV rollout list along with me :)

This thinking is based on people's and my 'feelings' :) So no, I won't quote any intel! I think the feeling comes from the speed at which Chevy is announcing/unveiling/launching the Chevy Bolt EV. They're doing it to stay competitive.... and they are causing Nissan to scramble with their LEAF...

Welcome here! As DucRider already said, you're not alone. Tesla is definitely playing with emotions when appealing to the market, but I agree with the reliability issues. Granted, any vehicle can have issues, and it's really hard to predict the future, but it seems that a more 'national'...

GM is making steady progress with their battery pack technology. My 2014 Cadillac ELR has a 16.5 kWh battery pack that weighs 435 pounds. According to the article from GM, the Bolt's 60 kWh battery pack weighs 436 Kg. That's a difference of 26.4 lbs/kWh in the ELR, and 16 lb/kWh in the Bolt...

It's also a problem of unknowns with me because we know pretty much nothing about LEAF 2.0

I'm re-reading the press release, and this statement jumped out with me, so I thought I'd ask the other Bolt enthusiasts on the Bolt EV Forum. The press release says "Bolt EV also features an optional DC Fast Charging system using the industry standard SAE Combo connector. Using DC Fast...

I think it's an unspoken rule of thumb that down-market cars don't make any money the first year on the market. Things improve once the startup costs are amortized away. I doubt GM is going to lose much money on the Bolt EV, however, (unlike the Fiat 500e that cost Fiat $15000 each). If they...

Your forum name confused us into thinking you weren't yet a Tesla owner - then you're reservation would likely be higher than 80,000 since current owners get priority in the queue. Yep, I procrastinated and now it's not worth it to me to throw my money into the hat. I have a problem spending...

Ha, hard to say! Maybe they'll run ads that say why it's better than the Volt, but people will get confused with which name is which vehicle, and they'll go buy a LEAF instead :)

In the rear of the Bolt EV, between the wheels where the rear wheel traction motor would go, isn't that where the Bolt is getting most of its large interior cargo measurements from? A second electric motor would affect cargo space...

Found some more picture of the GM Bolt EV on the assembly line: The Bolt EV is being assembled at the General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Township, Michigan. When it goes on sale later this year, the Chevrolet Bolt will cost under $30,000 after the IRS EV tax credit

There's also the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid that is a plug-in hybrid 8 seater coming later this year. I know it's in a different market segment, and it's only a plug-in hybrid, but I have a friend with little kids who is looking for an electric vehicle, but now that there IS AN OPTION for an...
