    Will there be an AWD version?

    Elon Musk Thinks GM Isn't Making Enough All-Electric Chevrolet Bolts

    Well, it's a fact. But Tesla not making their cars and a waiting line long enough to reach Mars is probably a bigger fact.

    Will the Chevy Bolt EV be a 'game changer'?

    In my opinion a low price sticker is enough to change the game. If Chevy Bolt does great, other companies will have to produce similar range cars at a similar price range. That has the potential to change the market for EVs.

    Will the Chevy Bolt EV be a 'game changer'?

    Interesting article: 'Increased mileage on a charge for electric cars is all well and good, but the real “game changer” won’t come until a way is found to recharge the battery that renders the process equivalent in time to filling up a tank with gasoline.'...

    The Chevy Bolt still doesn't compare to Tesla's Model 3

    'll say it upfront: if you're looking for a good electric car, the Chevy Bolt is not a bad option. For $37,500, the Bolt offers a solid range of 238 miles on a single charge.
