I was excited to see this! I could now take my Bolt on an exciting road trip to see my daughter at Kansas State if I go straight south to Dayton. However, I will probably just take one of my vehicles that I can go 5 hours between fill-ups, fuel at any exit, and take the shortest and fastest route.
I can see that. The bolt is a great little commuter. Tighter turning radius and easier to park than our Tesla. Quick and nimble. Nice flat cargo area. But not the car of choice for a road trip. Slow charging and no TACC kind of take it out of the running for that crowd. I think that will change in 2021 or 2022. Their are already rumours out there that the charge rate will be almost double to around 100 KW and all the new CCS stations are at least 100KW. For the time being TESLA is still the road trip choice although it’s not as nimble in the city. I find myself looking for much wider parking spots with the Tesla. It’s a fat car. I’m glad the mirrors fold in for driving in the garage. Would be kinda tight otherwise.
There are some smokin deals at the Chevy dealer right now for left over 2019 bolts. For a slightly smaller battery than the 2020’s one can save like 10 grand. One of the wife’s friends picked one up. Kind of a cherry burgundy colour similar to our leaf. Real nice.
