Your car has liquid cooling and the ability to manage the temperature of the battery. It can be better not to park in a hot garage in the summertime. For example, a car that is trying to keep its battery cool, will expel heat into the garage enclosure, creating an even hotter garage. Or say a...

My only excuse is that the Bacardi did it!

I concur!

I completely agree!

Because the same situation is still prevalent and the thread is still relevant. No sense in starting a new thread. Chevy quit producing the Spark and can no longer use it as a compliance car. I really feel initially Chevy (so far) has made the move (early on) to not make the Bolt available in...

I don't know why you called yourself a Troll. But.. if you were referring to me, you are far far off base. I have a Bolt in the family as well as 2 Leafs and a Tesla. I want Chevy to advertise the Bolt, have many more for sale at all dealerships including training dealers to sell them (instead...

GM dealers are not stocking the vehicles in many parts of the US. Who is at fault for this? If there are a hoard of cars not being dispersed, why? Just like most dealerships, past and present, they would rather spin you into something else instead of BEV. Who is at fault for this? Sorry, but I...

Can anyone say, "compliance car"?

As mentioned earlier, Kia Soul is also having engineering problems with their batteries. And then there is Hyundai, it's battery cooling design is the same as the Kia Soul and will most likely suffer the same degradation problem. Their battery comes with a lifetime warranty to the original...

Just be careful, 2018 and older Leafs have a battery design problem. We think that they are going to improve upon that in 2019 with Thermal Management. Even if you believe you won't be affected, remember the negative reputation will depreciate your vehicle more rapidly. Chevy has engineered...

To the OP: Well, I know that you ruled out the Nissan Leaf, but for a short term EV to get you through, it could really foot the bill for you. It is a well made car with a hatch and lots of cargo room. It is a good car to be able to transition you to your ideal EV of the future. Older, used...

+1 agreed!

Sorry, but EVgo is just way too expensive! They need some real competition so they will quit raping us. I can't wait for the day that they have to lower their prices. Their policy of only being able to charge the car for 30 minutes, and than have to wait an hour before being able to hook up and...

Nissan threw itself under the bus by not offering an equal to Chevy's range (soon enough), as well as not planning on active thermal management for their batteries (based on past and present drawings and statements), and thus appear to be doomed to lose ground in the race to beat Chevy's sales...

I agree that their whole plan is off. They are way too expensive and their 30 minute charge time sucks for the quick chargers. And on level 2 especially for vehicles that have slower onboard chargers, we get penalized even more... They are just using lame excuses for price gouging etc. For...
