Same goes for the Vancouver Auto Show apparently. I guess GM hasn't really made any announcements about when the Bolt EV will make it North of the border anyhow...

Came across this info from a GM Press Release and I don't think it's been posted on the Bolt forum before: Battery stats: •60 kWh of energy for over 200 miles EPA range •battery weight 436 kg •160 kW power output •288 lithium-ion cells (LG Chem) •350 V nominal voltage •eight years or...

They don't want to give out exact details yet because that would give too much information to competitors. I wouldn't expect to see any official range numbers for the Bolt EV until the EPA ratings come out. The fact that GM has said on a few occasions that the Bolt EV is above or exceeding...

At first when I read your comment I thought you were arguing the cost doesn't have to be that high..... Then I realized you are saying the minimum price will be $46,500? Which is what the article stated. Due to the current exchange situation it can really make a difference in vehicle cost, and...

Based on a comment from GM that the Bolt EV will receive the full $14,000 tax rebate in Ontario, that means the MSRP has to be higher than $46,500 to qualify Using a basic exchange calculation, that actually puts the USD price at $34,100 which is cheaper than the stated $37,500. So I guess GM...

Mailman, do you think that was a good price for a buyout of the LEAF after lease, and you would have done it if the Bolt EV and Tesla Model III weren't on the horizon? I couldn't tell if your post when it was a poor offer, or if you were holding out for a 200 mile EV...

September ordering, and trim options... good to know. I guess that means first GM Bolt deliveries in October 2016?

I wonder where else the Bolt electric vehicle would be booked? Are there other, more important auto shows happening at the same time? Or is it booked to be testing? Or maybe that's just their excuse for not bringing it to Denver because they figure it isn't a big enough show to warrant the...

https://youtu.be/BXrJBoET7PM In the video the Electric Israeli comments that GM's lack of commitment in installing a fast charging network may lead to the failure of the Bolt, especially once the Tesla Model III hits the market. However, that's where I see vehicles like the Volt really coming...

Last fall, before the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV was unveiled, GM announced it was working with LG Chem on the Bolt's development, but no further details were given. Now, we have details on the partnership that LG Chem calls 'unprecedented' GM designed the electric traction motor and the...

So with a different drive ratio did that affect top speed? Or efficiency? Or no net difference?

Picasso, are you using the 2015 or 2016 Nissan Leaf as a basepoint?

Love the big red button, but I'm afraid they'll change it before production! I'd get one, but the Volt commercial explained how driving an electric car is like getting stuck in an elevator, so....

From General Motor's Warren Tech Center, the company held a press briefing and explained the extent of their partnership with LG in the making of the Chevrolet Bolt. The compact utility crossover electric vehicle is promised to have more than 200 miles of range and be priced at or below $30,000...

This is going to be great! Tesla Gen III, Leaf, Bolt. 2017 could be a great year for electric vehicles! We are almost 100,000 units per year now, maybe 250,000 is the target for 2017?

GM has already said that the Bolt electric vehicle will replace the Spark EV when it comes out.... recently, Chevrolet announced the Spark EV would go on sale in the 3 provinces of Canada that offer EV incentives: British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Full article...

Interesting stuff - it's surprising how some automakers like Chevy go to all the work of having small focus groups etc, and other automakers seem to just roll out their EVs with no concern for what people want. I guess it depends if the companies are interested in just meeting CARB mandates...

Interesting to know. I knew Tesla used the 18650 cells but didn't realize Apple had moved away from using them in laptops around the same time - smart timing!

Sounds unique - and I see from the photo the Smart ED also has a panel to close it off if desired. Is there any advantage to this over an opening and closing moonroof?

I guess that means they won't produce it in Europe like they were with that Volt? At least at first? That means the Bolt EV price in Europe will be significantly higher than €27000. In Europe there is a 10% import tax and than VAT. I expect the price would more like €37000.
