EV Comparison Tool - Did I get the Bolt right? :)

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone! I've been working on a tool to help people who are thinking about getting a "next generation" EV decide which one fits their needs best. The data so far is here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KxeJsSoqptmlaJXNvP1eO25-j31oOz4eStoPnz0YNRY/edit?usp=sharing

Right now, it's just a simple datasheet, but I'm going to modify it to have dropdowns so people can select and compare configs, generate graphs, etc. A number of websites may let you compare a few features, but as you can see from the above, I'm trying to let people compare almost everything

Part of the problem is, I've never even ridden in most of the vehicles on the list, let alone owned them so I could really use some feedback from actual owners. I've tried to fill out the data as best as I can from "build your own" sites, users' manuals, google searching, etc, but I've probably gotten a few things wrong. Can anyone be bothered to look over the data and see if I screwed up anywhere concerning the Bolt?

Note that a number of fields have comments (triangle in the upper right corner of a cell), to help clarify any issues that might be confusing.

Thank you for all your effort in producing this spreadsheet. A few suggestions for additions, if I may -

* Cargo volume with rear seats down
* Cargo floor flatness with rear seats down (flat, or define angle)

Inasmuch as this is comparing BEVs, perhaps a few EV-specific characteristics -

* Adjustable charging rate
* Adjustable charging limit
* Adjustable charging start time
* Adjustable charging stop time
* SoC % displayed on screen
* Regeneration max deceleration rate
* Ability to fully stop vehicle using regen
* Regen paddle - fixed regen
* Regen paddle - variable regen

Thanks, will look into all of these, and add all that I can In the meantime, let me know if you see anything about the Bolt (or any other EV that you're familiar with) that I might have gotten wrong or might vary from market to market.

Bolt does not have power seats.
