K. Thanks.

It's been doing that, as it often posts but still shows you on the posting page. I've made more unintentional double posts since the changeover than I did in the preceding 3+ years. And many if not most of the sub-forums now seem to be set to not allow deleting posts (but then why offer it as an option on those sub-forums, if it's not allowed), making it impossible to get rid of them short of having a moderator do it.DNAinaGoodWay said:Hmmm. New software tricked me into double posting.
Yes, I think this will be like Soul EV. Good for people without kids.DNAinaGoodWay said:K. Thanks.

How about groceries and stroller. That is where the extra length of leaf helps.ILETRIC said:Re: Soul EV. I beg to differ. It's spacious, 5-people comfort, slightly smaller trunk. It' shorter b/c of that which makes it not stick out when parked parallel, and still holds plenty of groceries.

Really ? Outside CA ?ILETRIC said:And it goes 93-98 real-world miles, today! Not in 2016.
It looks like what GM showed in the auto show as the concept car - so it should be !LKK said:I'm wondering if these pictures are of the Bolt. I can't see how something that small can house a 200 mile battery. The car in the picture looks too small to house the Volt's 50 mile battery, let alone a battery with a 200 mile range. I would think you would need a vehicle with the footprint the size of a Tesla not the tiny car in the picture.
GetOffYourGas said:Yup. And that small size, more than the range/recharge time, will be the reason the Bolt probably couldn't be my "road trip" car. GM stunted the Volt with a tiny trunk*, looks like they want to keep EVs confined to the small car niche.

I agree, I need something that is at least the size of the Leaf. I may have to wait for a Tesla Model 3 or an Infiniti LE.
Bufordleaf said:@ Jamieo - that all depends on charging infrastructure. I drove my Leaf 175 miles the other day, in one day, and it has a rated range of 84 miles. I stopped to quick charge 3 times (when it was convenient) for 10 - 15 minutes each time. I didn't even start the day with a full charge, and still had no problems. So you can definitely take a 200 mile BEV on a 200 mile trip to your parents' house provided there is some infrastructure along the way. If there is a quickcharger you would only need to stop for 15 minutes or so, on a L2 a bit longer. And assuming you would spend the day at your parents' house you could trickle charge there to regain quite a bit of range. Not sure where you live but you mentioned Nashville, and there is some infrastructure there. If you don't have the Plugshare app on your phone yet, get it, it is invaluable. That will allow you to see the types and proximity of chargers in your area so you can make an intelligent choice. Good luck! And for what it's worth, I love my Leaf, and never want to go back to the ICE age.
Chevrolet confirmed production of its next-generation pure electric vehicle, based on the Bolt EV concept. It will be built at the GM Orion Assembly facility in Michigan.
The Bolt EV concept was introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Alan Batey, president, General Motors North America, made the following announcement shortly before the Chicago Auto Show:
“The message from consumers about the Bolt EV concept was clear and unequivocal: build it.” said Batey. “We are moving quickly because of its potential to completely shake up the status quo for electric vehicles as the first affordable long-range EV in the market.”
Information at your fingertips.
A central touch screen gives the driver access to an array of electronic readouts with only a tap or two on the large, 10-inch diagonal screen.
A smarter car.
The Bolt Connect app would provide drivers with an unprecedented level of vehicle control. Incorporating automatic park-and-retrieval technology†, owners will be able to exit the vehicle and tell Bolt EV to park itself while they run errands, then summon it to their location when they’re done.
FYI - Chevy announced this in Feb 2015. (I also think that is when that page was updated.)scottf200 said:http://www.chevrolet.com/culture/article/bolt-ev-concept-car.html
