The Bolt EV has won! Motor Trend announced the award yesterday

Sorry just noticed at the start of the video it specifies 'Albatross' as the Bolt electric vehicle in the video.

Cruise Automation (the software company partnering with GM to work on autonomous driving) released video #2 of their Chevy Bolt EV (the one named Platypus I guess?) https://youtu.be/Vfgjemwc9NU

Wrong dimensions - 2 feet is the depth of the trunk. It's human sized:

Installation time is quoted at 40 minutes It made it to the Wiki already: http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/Chevy_Bolt_Trailer_Hitch

In BC, according to my local ICBC agent, trailer liability insurance is only for when the trailer becomes disconnected and is a vehicle of its 'own'. When attached to a tow vehicle, the liability of the tow vehicle covers the trailer as well. As for specific damage to the trailer, not sure.

Typically you sit in the car as it goes through. If you open the door part way through your car gets full of water - seems low risk unless a child is driving

Hmm conflicting reports. According to this place: http://technewsgazette.com/2017/02/05/first-chevrolet-bolt-evs-delivered-in-canada-through-dealerships/ First Bolts were delivered in BC, Ontario and Quebec. Although who really cares - it's finally here!

In that photo it looks like the 'bump out' is moulded into the side panel - if so, then you couldn't simply unbolt from a different Bolt and add it to your car. However, if that's a pre-production car they may have changed it into an add-on panel piece after making the false floor a buyer's...

First Bolt delivered in Canada (according to this site): http://www.timetoelectrify.ca/1stboltev-canada-joewinkfein/

https://youtu.be/NJ1-kfaSugE https://youtu.be/q-fAddA-m7o According to TechCrunch, they think the Bolt feels like a vehicle capable of leading the industry.

As long as you can get the box through the opening, you could fit something as large as 3 feet by 4 feet, and 2 feet wide. So, for a TV, you could get one that is 3x4 (roughly a 42 inch) and up to 2 feet deep :) Or, wait for a sunny day and put it on the roof. Or, pay Best Buy $50 to deliver...

Last month, in only a half month of sales, GM moved 579 Bolt EVs, and that was only through a couple dealerships until December 28th IIRC. My guess is 1700 which would be amazing and set all sorts of EV records for January.

Good to know - is that from the Blot owners manual, or do you know someone on the inside :)

Why not get a boat dolly or rig up a set of wheels on the boat? Then you don't have to even get your EV on a wet ramp or partially submerged. A 175 pound boat on a set of wheels should be easy to manhandle. https://www.amazon.com/Brocraft-Standard-Launching-Inches-Wheels/dp/B01CE4FBVW/

I disagree. The average weight of an American man is 195 pounds, towing a 175 lb boat is no different than adding an extra adult passenger. (unsure how much a trailer weighs, but for a boat that size it could be a very small trailer). Now if you had said the brakes weren't designed for 5 large...

The rear lights are in the bumper, or at least mostly in the bumper. Plus, depends on when you are towing. Some states/provinces don't require lights on the trailer if: you're driving in daytime, and the vehicle's lights are still visible past the trailer and the load

I don't think I agree that the Bolt being FWD makes it a 'deal breaker' for everyone living in Colorado. I've lived on the prairies and FWD cars with good tires do great as long as the snow isn't too deep. Also an interesting tidbit is that they say at full throttle (which I assume means full...

Just wanted to add this as a warning to people looking to buy a Bolt EV - not everyone is offering $1000 or $1500 off MSRP :) This dealership has a $5000 'market adjustment' added to the sticker. Be careful out there! From InsideEVs...
