The Bolt is a very important car, for now it's alone in the under $30k BEV space. The Nissan leaf doesn't count because it doesn't have the range and no thermal management system. The Bolt is a truly modern and capable EV.
agree a 100%. i picked up a 2022 metallic silver with black/blue leather interior EUV @ MSRP. picked up 3D interior matts, and center console insert. keep in mind that chevrolet will pay QMERIT up to $1K for the installation a level 2 NEMA outlet. this is definitely the icing on the cake!
Mini Cooper SE, although it doesn't have the range. Base id4 isn't too much more (after credits) but I believe it is a larger vehicle and much nicer in my opinion. We will see if VW can deliver a $35k version once they get production up and running in Chattanooga.
With dealer mark ups, it’s a much better deal to buy a model 3.
@@richardfolden3860 i completely disagree - i also have a long range tesla M3. tesla has raised their price for the LRM3 by $10K in the last year. the glass rooftop radiates a ton of heat, and overall attention to detail is not acceptable. if you want to do 0-60 in 4 seconds, or travel long distances using tesla's superchargers, or can afford $60K, then it's a different story. however, for a daily driver with 230+ mile range @ MSRP - if you look hard enough - you can't beat a bolt.
@@nexderm5606 sure you can, it’s called a standard range model 3, and as I said, it’s a much better deal.
Wish you would’ve shown the difference between the EUV 22 And the EUV 23. Like the illuminated charge port and the new floor liners.
illuminated charge port costs $350.00 if it needs to be in place
At San Luis Obispo county it was being sold for 41k . For LT. 3k for our Taxes 9k for deal mark up
How much does using the A/C and heater decrease distance per charge?
Where did you get a 2023 model that are not in production yet ?
2022 and 2023s are the same. I believe 23s are starting production in about a month. You can get MSRP 23 prices on all 2022's
He is in a 2022.
@@JFlogerzi where is the 2023 review then, just ClickBait.
@@EL90291 it could be or might be a manufacturer sample. Either way nothing has changed between MY2022 and MY23.
Can you get the 23 MSRP on all 2022's though? I don't think you can buy direct from Chevy/have to go to a dealer....and I don't think there's any grantee or anything forcing the dealerships to sell for MSRP. I have yet to see my local one list a 2022 for anything under the 2022 MSRP, and now they just don't even have any Bolts or electric vehicles at all.
I just ordered my 2023 EUV. Thanks for video! For size, range, and price it was a perfect choice for me. I’ve been saving for an EV for a while. This seemed like the best choice to start with.
Buy 2
No lie I was heavily considering a Tesla model 3, but as of July 2022 here in the states, the standard base price is just under $47,000, and despite how "techy" and nice looking a Tesla may be, the more you do your homework the more you realize that there's far more competition out there offering far more value for your dollar.
I just pre-ordered a brand new 2023 bolt EUV premier trim that comes packed to the gills with every feature that it can, and thanks to the price cut it only cost me $43,000, which is $4,000 less than the MSRP price of a base model 3, and I couldn't be happier. It will serve my family well as a daily commuter, and it provides us with everything we're looking for in a family vehicle. I'm definitely glad I didn't jump into the Tesla craze and finance a car that would have had a monthly payment that mirrors a mortgage payment!
So if anyone else is in the market for an EV, definitely take the time to look at the competition, because at the exorbitantly high prices that Tesla keeps pricing their vehicles, you can get far more bang for your buck elsewhere.
Yea….but you don’t get the charging network and that is a huge value proposition for now.
@@JaridOrgeron More than anything I'll be charging at home. It's primarily going to be used as a daily commuter for my family, and to be perfectly honest there's more than enough charging stations in my neck of the woods should I ever find myself having to rely on them.
At the end of the day, I'm not dismissing Tesla in any way as I know that they are reliable and reputable cars, but they're also no longer available at a mass market friendly price, and until that changes the competition is going to take advantage of that.
How did you end up spending $43k? Does that include tax and reg? I ordered a 23 Premium w/ cruise and moonroof for $38 (msrp). That’s a pretty big dealer markup (and maybe worth shopping around in your area to see if you can get closer to MSRP?)
@@JoshuaParks yes that includes taxes and destination, but we also optioned for the Chevy service that puts a protective sealant around the door trims and infotainment screen. I think that was $1,500 if I'm not mistaken.
Spending $43k for a Bolt is crazy lol
Dealers have jacked these prices +$10,000 hold on buying since there's a slow crash happening right now in the car market.
I wish car reviewers would review the $29k LT instead of the $38k premier.
Media fleet availability is limited, and the OEMs often want to show off everything buyers can get in a vehicle so they usually opt for top-spec models.
Thanks again for responding back to my message on IG. I ended up finalizing the order on the Chevy Bolt EUV 2023 Gray Ghost. I got the Premier Package with Sunroof for $38K.
I just purchased a 2022 gray ghost euv . I absolutely love it. My favorite color by far.
I just a down payment on my gray ghost EUV last night! Am I in the cool kids club too?
@@youdontknowme2915 Incorrect, as mentioned in my reply I have the EUV and it is the Premier package. The packages in EV are different :)
@@youdontknowme2915 No it is similar as 2022
junk
I like this car more than the Bolt EV! Such value waow
Neat video, but unfortunately Chevrolet Bolt is a ripoff in Canada. The EUV costs just as much as an Ioniq 5 or a Kia EV6 or Kia Niro 2023 EV. I ended up just ordering a Kia EV6. No interest in paying Chevy 45,000$ for a car that is way smaller, has mediocre seating, and is missing most of the high end tech that an electric car should have.
They straight up said they weren't lowering the price in Canada because the competition is 45K so they don't care about lowering it. Such a scummy move and it lost my business.
Another Canadian here. Totally agree. Ioniq 5, EV 6, and ID.4 offer much better value for the money.
You will not find a bold like this one on the dealer's lot (after markup) AT ANYWHERE NEAR $28,OOO!!!!!
About the dealer markups, our dealer tried to tack on $2,000 to our 2023 LT EUV order. We said no thanks and they removed the markup. Never hurts to ask and be ready to walk.
Let’s not forget about the crazy adjustment fee…
I just got conformation that my 2023 Bolt EUV is on the transport truck now & should be here next week. Dealer did not mark up the price at all. I am paying MSRP.
how much did you pay my dealer told me $45k out the door for Euv premier
@@raeeddawod 38k for premier.
Nice that you didn't mention tesla once in your video.
I ordered a 2023 EUV, I'm supposed to get it in November. My dealer did not add a markup either.
HOW!? im trying to order it
@@ashton8106 just went to my local Chevy dealer and they ordered it. I'm like #17 in line
My order went in on July 10. My salesguy did not pressure me at all, nor did he mark up the vehicle. I believe this is because Chevy is making a HUGE markdown and advertising it loudly. I also did my homework and could tell him more about the operation specs than he knew. So far, I'm very pleased. Best of luck with your vehicle. I'm no. 1 in the que!
Plenty on the lot near me unless you want a premier loaded
@@doomsday9973 my dealer has 8+ 2022s on the lot but they are all spoken for. Supposedly the first 2023 models are being produced TODAY
Very informative - making me change my mind on EVs!
It is not that we don't want EVs, it is we can't get them. I ordered a Chevrolet Bolt on 06/21/2022. It is now 10/07/2022. I am still waiting. GM, PLEASE stop advertising EVs if you can't deliver to customers what they already have ordered. Thank you! I am in Illinois, USA.
The bolt is not an suv lol
4 mi/kWh is a great achievement. In my Volt and Model 3 I was usually around 3.6. I am considering leasing the Bolt EUV LT to get into the car and then might upgrade to a Premier (with SuperCruise and Sun/Sound package) or Equinox EV RS3 at a later time. Bolt SuperCruise isn’t the latest version. The newer system (on Cadillac Lyriq) can do lane changes so I am hopeful that the Equinox EV will have the more capable system.
The Super Cruise subscription will cost U.S. customers $25 per month on a standalone basis, meaning without another OnStar plan/subscription. Alternatively, it can be added to certain OnStar plans or bundles for $15 per month.
The need for a subscription is only now starting to come to light for Cadillac owners, since the very earliest Cadillac CT6 models with Super Cruise are only now coming out of the three-year included subscription period. For those vehicles, Cadillac has added a one-year extension to that period, though only for original owners.
It will cost $25.00 only after 3 years from first day of buying new Bolt with Super Cruise as option
Brakes in the bumper is dumb and too low
I’m waiting for my Bolt EUV (having had 2 Bolts)and my only issue remains the chargers SLOW Speed still. But I’m still looking forward to my EUV.
What about the seats - are they comfortable?
@@johnmorelli3775 for the most part they have improved from the first 2017.
We just got our EUV Bolt. Best decision we made considering the ridiculous trade on our 2014 flex. With gas being 6$ a gallon and the big down payment from our Flex, the saving in gas will cover 60-70% of our payment. LT2 or LT with Lather option seems to be the sweet spot.
Getting my EV tomorrow and made the decision based on how much I was given for my trade. 2k more than I paid for my last car after 2 years. I was pleasantly surprised.
@@benjones621 congrats man. You will love it
I just got an EUV last month after my first gen bolt got rear-ended and totaled. I love it .
$6 gallon gasoline? Where? It's $3.15 gallon here.
@@mowcowbell good old California. It fell but it's back up to 5.60$ for 87
Great video. Very well done and full of valuable information. Would you happen to know the brand name or manufacturer of the dual charge power cord that comes with the EUV? Thank you . Peter
It should be pointed out that while the EV and EUV share very similar styling 1:15 the two models do not share a single common exterior panel
Why can't they put manually roll up windows to save battery life..
Thanks for the great review. I ordered the 2023 red EUV with the driver's assist, upgraded floor liners, and comfort package. The hands free option and its price just doesn't appeal to me. The order has been placed and I await a time of manufacturing. Can't wait!
How did you order it? On Chevy's website, it's 2022.
@@t0dd000 I went to the dealership and sat with the salesperson. Having done all my homework, I knew exactly what I wanted. There were a few items that differed from the website, such as roof rails are now standard, and a different name for the red tint but all the other options were the same as 2022. It's my understanding that the 2022s are no longer in production. The salesperson said once there is a slot in manufacturing for this particular dealership, the vehicle will be assigned a VIN number. My paperwork also says 2023. I found the whole process rather easy.
How much u pay out the door ?
@@toonman361 did they give the 5k price reduction that Chevy was giving for all 2023 models. What was the price
@@asmokingp3005 "supplier W/DFC $30,330
Gosh I can't believe this is such an old video. Good comments and stuff very interested
The Bolt and EUV are the best EV for it's price point and feature list.
I’ve put money down for a 2022 Bolt EUV. It should be available for me in a couple weeks. Looking forward to it.
There's a "seat delete" option; that one can be sent straight to one of two GM-approved upfitters that can turn the EUV into a teeny tiny cargo van. But the option is only available through fleet sales. They would gladly sell you 15 of them (their minimum) *sigh* 😟
That sounds cool! I would rather have that than the standard model. Now we just need 13 more people to buy them with us, and we're all set, lol
Thanks for the review! ❤❤👋👋👋👋
So possible to order the 2023 at the discounted price with delivery in 2023 and qualify for the $7500 inflation reduction instant discount? Possible to charger installation if you don't have a garage?
Just picked up my '23 EUV Premier in Blue after having a '19 Bolt Premier for past 4yrs. Wow, when you are inside it feels like it is a bigger car and it rides softer then the '19.
What is the ground clearance?
Sad that they got rid of knobs in the HVAC controls and went with buttons. Still not as bad as Tesla with the take-your-eyes-off-the-road-for-every-fing-thing menu driven crash magnet. Especially when combined with "Full Self Driving"''s tendency to crash into pretty much anything.
I'm excited for the 2023 Bolt EUV - Premier Redline (Summit White). Does anyone know how the new 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that was signed into law on 08/16/2022 helps with the purchase of a 2023 Bolt beginning on 01/01/2023? I heard that a dealer may apply this $7,500 credit to further reduce the price of the vehicle or get the credit after filing your tax return. Anyone with more information... I would appreciate it.
But, why a 30k bold only sold around 3000 last month. But the 60-70k model y sold 30000 a month?
Manufacturer and transport delays and battery recall waiting for replacement
@@swiftbar They seemed delaying this for a year.
Why no fold flat passenger seat? missed opportunity IMO.
A question. Would this price still be maintained in 2023 when the 7500 tax credit kicks in?
Any idea if/when/at what stage the Bolts will become eligible for the new federal assistance? The dealers dont have a clue; most of them dont seem to know that the govt subsidizes eCars at all.
Good review. I only disagree with one rather minor detail. I actually don't think the Bolt EV and EUV are hard to tell apart. The EUV has a much more prominent, masculine hood and higher beltline that rises boldly at the rear--relatively speaking lol. To be more specific, this is all relative to the rather egg-shaped Bolt EV. Neither is exactly sexy in their proportions, but the EUV has more angles from which it looks pretty decent.
Those are just my thoughts. Both are great value propositions and deserve to sell well even considering the (vastly overstated) controversy over battery fires (which remain statistically less likely to occur than in a conventional ICE vehicle, the margin just isn't as wide as it should be since EVs are designed NOT to catch fire whereas combustion vehicles are designed to burn the flammable liquids they are transporting. BIG difference.)
I beg to differ. I was really looking for an EV to replace my 17 that just got hit but wanted to go with new since a used car is pretty much the exact same price right now. I walked up to an EUV and was completely convinced for a few seconds that it was an EV. The 17 through 21's have the egg shape but the 22 is a little bit less egg shape.
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite it's probably just a matter of how much I've looked at these things. Plus, different people's eyes notice different things. Some people are good with faces, some aren't. Personally what makes them easy to tell apart is that the Bolt EUV has a more pronounced SUV-like hood because the A pillars are pushed back, whereas the Bolt EV has a hood that flows straight into the windshield at pretty much the exact same angle (like a minivan). The EV also has the odd looking connected lighting elements. Not only are they connected to each other but they connect to the corner of the windshield. The EUV has two separate lighting elements that aren't connected to each other much less the windshield. Are they similar? Sure. Much the way brothers look similar. They certainly aren't twins though.
More important than that though, isn't it crazy how used and new prices are virtually the same??? Handy for people like you to be able to make the no brainer decision to move from used to new without paying a financial price to upgrade. Good on you!
@@chrismiddleton4733 yeah there was absolutely no point in buying a used one when I would be paying about the exact same price out the door for the new one. It might have cost me like an extra $2,000 but I'll pay $2,000 to have all the new technology
The review I needed! Exact model I ordered, looking forward to receiving it in August/September
What great "value"car nice spec good range. Shame the DC charger is not a bit quicker.
I understand people are frustrated with slow charging, but this prolongs battery life! ;)
@@benoito.1451 With proper battery management which the Bolt does should be able to charger quicker like alot of other cars can. No one wants to be waiting extended perioes at DC charger when you have a rather large battery to charge
zero coverage of the infotainment system. for example does the carplay fill the entire screen.
How? The first ones just rolled off the line yesterday. They haven’t even shipped???
I just put a down payment on a 2022 bolt euv launch edition for MSRP and got 6300 off that MSRP price. Will be in mid August
Thanks for the review! Ima go buy one now.
28k my fkn nut
Can you switch between super cruise and regular adaptive cruise control?
Nice review now I want one.
I had a 2021 Bolt and sold it back after the recall. The 3 things I did not like were the seats. charging speed and suspension. I test drove and 2022 EUV recently and honestly, the seats were only marginally better charging speed not changed but the suspension was better. You ever test drive an ID.4? Extremely comfortable seats nice ride and decent suspension. The ID.4 entertainment system was a big miss and the acceleration was not thrilling (the bolt was much better) EV's for the price do not seem just OK not great. The one he drove was $37,685 thats a LOT of cash. RAV 4 hybrid at 29K is very nice. Or truck people can get a Ford Maverick for way less.
ID 4.0 no ventilated front seats as Premier EUV,, and one padel drive system is terrible
@@ilyashick3178 drove a Tesla model 3 today have to admit it really drives nice.
Just so you know. The Ford Maverick has a 7 to 15 K markup and a two year waiting list so it’s really not a option
The bolt Euv premier 2022 its over $45k out the door
It should be noted that those "rebate" checks for owners of 2022 Bolts includes catch that they cannot sue GM or LG Chem for any current or future battery related problems.
can you buy a 2023 euv now or have to wait till next year?
So the sunroof is only available in the EUV premier Trim not in the EUV base trim?
Thank you for your review. I just ordered a 2023 Bolt EUV Premier Redline Edition with sun and sound package. You cant beat the value you are getting for the price. I agree about Super Cruise that its not worth the price plus you got to pay a monthly fee after the 3 yrs. I just hope Chevy will still honor the Level 2 install as I probably wont see the car till Oct/Nov 😩.
I ordered a 2023 Bolt EUV Premier Redline Edition with Sun and Sound and Super Cruise. Talking to my dealer, he said that it is a round robin system and we have no clue when GM will allow them to officially place the order. They are waiting for the allocation. Are you in the same boat, or were they actually able to fully place the order with GM? Thanks
@@shockin779 i was just going off what the dealer told me but I knew in my head that it maybe longer than that. However i did read in some forms that the priority will be the premier trims 1st. 🤞
@@cnutrack80 I really hope so. My dealer was saying no real time frame, but guessing 3-9 months to get it. Someone that works at the factory said they start production on the 23s today!
@@shockin779 Try and snag a 22 thats being fixed. Unless your married to the redline there are no differences and prices are the same in the form of an instant cash rebate. The smart ppl will try and snag a Bolt EV/EUV before prices go up. Look at Tesla and Ford. Both have been raising prices due to higher materials costs. 32K OTD with a 7 year bumper to bumper extend warranty after all incentives was a steal in my book (CA I got 4.5K in state rebates due to my income)
@@JFlogerzi I thought about this but none that I have seen at the dealer has super cruise, as well as they said since dealers are lower in the priority for the recall, it may be fixed about the time the 2023 would arrive
Is the Euv eligible for tax credit ?
I'm wondering if I can fit in it. I'm 6 foot 5 inches tall. My head hits many ceilings. That is why I drive a Subaru Forester which has lots of head room. My Subaru has similar features to super cruise. I can set the follow distance. It keeps it in the lanes and speeds up and slows down with traffic. Is this driving system more advanced than that?
I don't have one yet, but I went out to a dealer to see if I could fit in one aswell (6 foot 6 inches tall) and was pleasantly surprised with the roomyness for the driver! I ended up putting my name on the waitlist to get the 2023 when they receive more. Hope this helps :)
I would check out the review that Raiti’s Rides did on this car. He is 6ft tall and said he had lots of headroom.
Suggest you not get the sunroof. Sunroofs usually cut into headroom.
I’m 6 8 with sunroof lots of room!
@@Alaridesign Lots of room in front, you mean. In back, both of you will bump your heads on that sunroof.
How fast will it charge on DC Fast Charging? Will you have to take longer breaks on road trips?
Wow, what road were you using on this video?
Was tue battery issue fixed for the 23s
Good video but completely disagree with the DC fast charging comment as it only can do 50kw peak and drops off from that max after 50%. This is not impressive compared to the current EV options on the marketplace right now. If most folks are going to use as a commuter and do the Level 2 charging at home then the DC fast charging is less of an issue. Also rally is no comparison between ionic 5 and bolt euv. Ionic 5 has the dc fast charging and the build quality inside and out is top notch.
Good points, but all goes back to budget. Hard complain about the Bolt twins at the low cost of entry.
@@DriveBreakFixRepeat agree with you 100% and just bought the EUV this weekend as a commuter/errands car. Biggest downside of the car is the DC fast charging but all things considered it is a great value as long as you don’t need to do too many road trips
What about the Ultium battery platform? Why won't they make it with that?!
It's based on Bolt EV, which is just a much older platform. All the initial Ultium vehicles have a larger form factory and higher price point, likely to improve profits and offset development costs.
🔥🔥🔥🔥= price drop
Can you tell me how much the dealers are charging for this car in your area before stating the msrp? EVs in LA are like a collectible. Lots of premium tagged on that sticker price.
If you order one, which takes one to three months to get delivered, there are several dealers in the Los Angeles area that will sell it to you for straight MSRP, with no markup and no add-ons, as of the time that I type this at least. Martin Chevrolet in Torrance, Simpson Chevrolet in Irvine and the Chevrolet dealership in Orange are the ones I know of.
No hitch is a deal breaker for me. How can they call this a “utility” vehicle?
I saw a hitch on a bolt EV the other day. Third party I imagine
What color is that?
We just sold our electric car, I'm SO HAPPY it's gone. Hours and hours I sat and sat doing nothing, I'll never get this time back. Charging stations stole my life. I'm not getting any younger. No time to waste.
Newes LG battery for Bolts usually 250 miles battery. Level 2 charger (240v) at home only 5-6 hours for full charge or level 1 (110 v) from 18 to 24 hours . GM is offering
up to $1500 for charger system level 2 at hjome. Problem with EV it is most around the cities not for long commute.On other hand, new Equinox EV 2023 with newest Ultium battery range 350 miles for full battery charge.
did you not install a DC level 2 charger at your home? All you do is plug it in at night and go to bed. The next day, you have a fully charged battery with a 200+ mile range. Why did charging stations steal your life? lol
Just got my Bolt EUV the other day because my poor 17 Bolt got rear ended and totaled. It is really comfortable and roomy. I loved my EV but the EUV is a nice change.
Are you ok with the seats...comfortable?
@@johnmorelli3775 I am sitting in the base model right now (don't worry not driving) and yes I would say they are quite comfortable. I am not at all a slender person and only average height and the seats are quite comfortable they cup my whole body very well and have a number of levels of adjustments to get them to your desired comfort. My husband is 61 and again not then and find some very comfortable. He has the leather seats with the power adjustments and cooling and heating system. They are definitely more comfortable than some other seats I have sat in. You also have plenty of room to your sides and are able to move around quite freely
Can you even get 1
Nice car if you don’t have to drive long distances.
Found recently on you tube about 2000 miles for a two night trip
Is the acceleration difference noticeable?
I own 2022 Bolt EUV and used to own 2017 Bolt EV... Acceleration is definitely quicker on EV and ride is more sporty on EV. Bolt EUV has a Buick soft ride
Any issues with rear suspension being to harsh when going over potholes or bumps?
@@stefanbololoi7110. Mostly because of the harder tires that reduce friction. I plan on putting better, stickier, tires on even though it will reduce efficiency by 5 or 6%.
I guess since the Chevy Spark and Smart ForTwo ED are no longer in production in the US, the Bolt EUV can claim this title. I had thought that the Mini EV was one of the least expensive, but I think that it starts at $29k.
Now if only the Bolt had a faster Charger, it might actually make sense for a low end EV; 55kW is pathetic.
But still FAR better than the recharge rates of the Spark EV and ForTwo ED (which maxed out at 6 kW)
I will never deliberately drive another Bolt or any vehicle with a DC fast charger less than 100 kW, if I can help it (except maybe an Aptera)
Try getting one anywhere near MSRP.
Crazy, because Chevy dealers were giving them away in 2021. You could buy the 2021 Bolt EV for $20K back then.
@@youdontknowme2915 well done. Delivery is when?
I'm a busy person, I've have better things to do, .. than to sit at a charging station picking my nose while waiting and waiting for vehicle to charge ... that's a good name for these stations ..... NOSE PICKING STATIONS
These vehicles are designed to be charged at home while you sleep! You don't get up to go to work, stop by a charging station for an hour, and then go to work lol if you're going to use it to travel 500 or 1,000 miles cross country on a vacation, just deal with the wait (go get a bite to eat). I doubt you'll be vacationing on a weekly basis that you're going to find the need to charge at a commercial charging station every week!
What happens if you drive into a flooded area or off into a lake? Will you be electrocuted ?
Have one on order. May get it by June 2023. I can wait. Black with red trim edition
LOL. June 2023? These aren't Teslas you should be able to find one much quicker than that.
No way is going to be 28k. More like 45k...proof me wrong with the sales receipt
This a not even a 2023 model.
Mine was just ordered and the cost was itemized. Including tax, it is less than 30K.
Even the fully loaded premier models aren't $45k.
@@toonman361 how did you order one cant find anything on the website
@@kainassecoronado9261 you need to go to a dealer. they may even have some on the lot, they aren't that difficult to find
I feel sorry for electric car drivers and future owners. They will simply have to learn the hard way .. as I did. These things are a huge hassle and a outrageous expense in the long run. Batteries are very ... very expensive to replace ( thousands of dollars) ... and make no mistake, you will be replacing them. These batteries are highly toxic to our environment, with a high potential for disaster to our surroundings. I wish I knew all this before I bought my car . Do your homework before buying !
I would suspect everyone is well aware of the need to replace those batteries eventually. But you save zillions on all the costs associated to a gas engine and transmission and brakes. So ... Electric is probably cheaper.
The environment? It's a mixed bag.
Even though I am a lib, I am less concerned with the environmental effect than the cost savings on gas and general efficiency. I am excited that the environment could eventually power my car but that's a ways off. I equate an EV with a laptop, not mechanical, more digital. And like any digital device, the tech will be obsolete in a short time (think 2010 EVs). I estimate around 8 years of optimum battery life. I may get less or maybe more. I drive around 130 miles a day so we'll see.
@@t0dd000 I have a Volt, so the wheels are powered by electric motors, and it's a single speed transmission/no gears. DESPITE this I recently had to pay like $3k for repairs involving drivetrain components (had a broken transmission mount, I think a drive shaft, etc)....so just being electric doesn't mean there's no maintenance or repairs. My car doesn't even have 100,000k miles on it yet, and spending more in repairs than I was on my 180,000 mile Toyota Prius.
The maintenance schedule for the Bolt only lists wiper blades, in-cabin air filter, and rear hatch struts, as the only items to be replaced within the first 150,000 miles. Yeah, really sounds like a hassle to me.
@@conchobar Thanks. That sounds like heaven.
Dear
followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who
buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into
the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service,
the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a
malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help
will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep
your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff
What is issus about ?
