    The Chevy Bolt Requires Little Maintenance

    Because you have to consider it as a comparison to a regular car. The biggest gripes people have are oil changes and filling fuel. Light bulbs? Really?

    How Much I Paid for My Bolt

    That's interesting! I'm looking forward to driving the Bolt. I think the i3 is pretty quick so if the Bolt is quicker that's really good. My Spark EV is incredibly quick especially while on the roll and at high speeds. It's probably the quickest EV out there this side of a Tesla. If you need...

    What state do you live in ? If in CA, watch out about the HOV lane access....they may not have any more stickers available. Just double check before you drop a coin on a car that you overpay for.

    How Much I Paid for My Bolt

    Drive all three and see. The i3 has one main advantage over the other two which...for the performance oriented...is important in both straightline and cornering performance. It's RWD. Also, as a vehicle, it is the most cutting edge and innovative as far as materials, frame design, interior...

    Another positive review, this time from Kelley Blue Book

    Lol...whatever guys. Clearly it's not a logical debate here so I'll leave it at that.

    Another positive review, this time from Kelley Blue Book

    Let's agree to disagree. I honestly don't understand the disdain people here have for Tesla. It's quite amusing.

    Another positive review, this time from Kelley Blue Book

    It's not vaporware at all. Some may like to psych themselves out and think it is but it's not. It's a real car based on tech that came out ahead of the Bolt and has been in use years before the Bolt was even conceived. So it's ridiculous to call it vaporware. When it comes out, no one will...

    Bolt EV Lease Program Announced -- $309/Month, Net $0 Down After CVRP

    Are they applying the $7500 federal credit to reduce the cap cost of the vehicle for these leases? And does Chevy offer a loyalty credit at all?

    Wait a few months and you'll save a bundle of money. What's the rush?

    The Chevy Bolt Requires Little Maintenance

    This is what I love about EVs....I can't stand driving a regular car anymore. No hassles, no maintenance, no gas, no headaches.

    Car and Driver Test Drive at 75mph - 190 miles

    The average driver may not realize it but that's what differentiates the performance in cars that the average driver appreciates.

    Car and Driver Test Drive at 75mph - 190 miles

    Of course tire diameter matters but it's largely also dictated by how big the rims are. Usually a car that requires both a balance of straight-line performance and handling is limited to the tire it can use. You wouldn't use a large sidewalled tire for example on a car that requires such a...

    Car and Driver Test Drive at 75mph - 190 miles

    Two things happen with a larger rim: A) due to a larger diameter it puts down more torque on the pavement. B) larger rims mean more distance required to travel due to a larger circumference so it can slow the car down. The two are competing so it depends where that balance is. Too small you...

    How Much I Paid for My Bolt

    The i3 has technology the Bolt simply doesn't have. Stuff that I mentioned earlier. It's not just about the range for me. It's the whole package. And when most people drive less than 40 miles a day, 120 miles or 180 with the Rex is plenty. I've survived 3 years with my Spark EV with 90...

    Basic stuff here man what do you mean what am I saying?

    Car and Driver Test Drive at 75mph - 190 miles

    The i3 looks great with 20 inch rim option and it doesn't look bling at all. It matches the vehicle well. Plus the weigh of those rims is perhaps lighter than a standard rim as they are far narrower. It also makes for a quicker vehicle in general due to the torque multiplier by virtue of the...

    No employee discount, but Costco discount available!

    I guess one nice thing about Costco is the no-haggling aspect of the pricing. You don't get the best pricing but you save precious time not being at a dealer interacting with sleazeballs lying through their teeth.

    Bolt EV gripes

    It would be a better business case for GM to be a leader in offering included (and an almost necessary at this point in battery EV attractiveness and functionality) DCFC capability as standard in order to A) stand out as a genuine promoter and leader of EVs and B) make their cars more appealing...

    Tesla Model 3 Versus Chevrolet Bolt – Comparison Video

    There still is no comparison because the two cars are entirely different. People who do compare them only do so because they miss the point of each car's accolades. They are not equivalent just like the ICE versions are not equivalent.

    Another positive review, this time from Kelley Blue Book

    The comparisons may happen but the they are pointless and moot. They are not similar vehicles beyond that of having the same propulsion systems. That can be said about comparing different ICEs and how pointless it would be to compare a cross-over to a full blown sports sedan. Price is...
