Thanks for the correction. The $2000 bonus is set for 300% of poverty level. Of course, anyone at 300% of poverty level, unless they have some huge assets built up, shouldn't be buying a new car anyway.

Where are you getting these lease details? The CA EV credit is $2500 only for low income. It drops to $1500 after that, and then $0 for increasing incomes. Michael

SparkE, I agree that one charging stop on a trip would be about my limit, and the limit of most people. Even then, much more than 30 to 45 minutes, and I am going to be antsy and wanting to get back on the road. LA to SF or LA to LV would be doable, assuming I am not making the trip very...

Great! Thanks for the list. It looks like those routes are filling in, and making EV travel a reality. Those two highways get lots of use. Michael

That's great! I hope they get more chargers on Hwy 5 from LA to SF. It looks sparse other than the Tesla Superchargers. I see a few on the 15 from LA to Vegas, but could use a few more there, too. Those are main travel corridors, and would get used a lot. Michael

That was it. I needed to check "Payment required". Thanks for the tip on uploading images. BTW, how much do the charging stations general charge? Michael

Nice set of cars. I thought I might be the only Corvette owner on here. I have a 2000 C5. Good to see another one. Michael

Wow! I just checked my filters. I have only CSS DCFC checked, along with all networks. I only show 13. Is there something else that I should check for DCFS? BTW, how did you paste in your map image? Michael

I was looking at the PlugShare map for the Los Angeles area filtered for CSS, and there are very few DC fast charging stations. Most of them are at BMW and Kia car dealerships, with limited hours. I have a couple of customers at 185 and 210 miles round trip. That's cutting it very tight...

I think "where to charge when needed" is a major factor for ICE people moving to EV. The Bolt has great range, but there will be times when you realize you need just a bit more charge to get home. DC fast charge would fit the bill here. 15 minutes with 40 more miles could do the job in a lot...

Welcome to government greed! :x

Sounds like the Tesla fanboys are at it again. If it was just a compliance car, they would have just built if off an existing platform, or, worse, just put a battery and electric motor in an existing car that current has an engine. Toyota lost money on the Prius when it came out, and Chevy...

The suspension development engineer is an SCCA racer. While the tires do not have a huge amount of grip, the suspension is said to be taut and controlled without being harsh. Michael

According the Car and Driver, the Bolt is built on an all new, unique platform. Michael

Here you go! Specifications inches (mm) Wheelbase 102.4 (2601) Overall length 164 (4166) Overall width 69.5 (1765) Overall height 62.8 (1595) Front track width 59.1 (1501) Rear track width 59.1 (1501) Head room, front 39.7 (1008) Head room, rear...

My only complaint about the rear seating was the seatbacks were unnaturally too upright. I know they did this for cargo space, but even another inch of angle would have improved the situation greatly. Legroom was good. Michael

It's only standard on the Premium version. Michael

These QC delays occurred when the new 2014 Corvette came out, so wouldn't be surprised. Of course, it drove everyone crazy. :mrgreen: Michael

I don't think it needs higher priced carbon fuels. I calculated the cost of electricity to drive a Bolt, and then compared it to a gasoline powered car, and the cost of gasoline was three times as much! I would save $6000 in 3 years! That's a chunk of money. The Bolt EV is a game changer...

Chevy had several Bolt EVs on display, one of which you could sit in. My first impressions were: 1) It looks better in person than in the photos I've seen. 2) It has an amazing amount of interior space for such a small exterior. There is a lot of headroom. Legroom was not quite as...
