Comments
I hope that I am wrong about what I am about to say.
I am very glad to hear that GM updated the Front and rear of the Bolt and especially happy that they supposedly are offering a new Interior. It is a bout a year away but whatever.
The interior was in major need to be updated from Day One.
GM still kept the same Battery tech on the Bolt. To me the Bolt with its slow Fast Charging is really a glorified City Car. If the Bolt would start at 25K which is exactly what I believe it should start at then it might become way more successful in the marketplace. It is too small and too expensive where it sits at in the Marketplace right now.
Just for comparison sake….
Chevy Bolt starts at $36,620 (Add $750 for DC Fast Charging and it really starts at $37,370)….Insane!!!
Tesla Model 3 starts at $37,790. But lets not forget you can actually request the Bare Bones $35K Model 3 if you want to save some money. I have been saying for years here that Tesla will continue to add to their Tech while continuing to decrease their MSRP. No Legacy Auto Maker can come close right now. None.
Just think about that for a second. You even have to pony up an extra $750 to GM if you want your car to be able to do DC Fast Charge (even though it is slow as hell)
I hope GM rethinks this strategy and makes the Bolt Start at 25K and turns it into the EV City Car for the masses. Also please add DC Fast Charging as Standard. That is insane that it is not.
DC Fast Charging is not standard because GM looked at their onstar data for the cars that do have it and it is rarely ever used if at all in the markets that the Bolt is in.
I will not argue that it is a highly desirable option tho especially for used Bolts.
It is RARE to find a 2020 Bolt without DCFC option. I searched every state between Florida and Maryland in January and found only 1 Bolt without the option.
Exactly my point. Why would anyone get an EV without DC Fast Charging and why would GM even try to make it a stand alone option. Ridiculous.
Momolos, I’m on my 5th GM ev product, and I have NEVER wanted DCFC (so called Level 3), nor needed it.
Just because YOU want something or may need it depending on your driving schedule, doesn’t apply to the rest of us. I wish GM offered MORE options, not less.
@Bill Howland
So you have never taken a road trip with your car? That is the main reason for DC Fast Charging and for customers that might not have access to Home Charging.
With my modest income level I currently look for an entry level, electric city/urban vehicle that will provide inexpensive travel around a city and allow 110 charging at home.
Super charging and $75,000 to $100,000 electric vehicles are not on my radar screen. I will save an aging ICE vehicle for the occasional long trip but drive gas free for the 30 to 50 miles around town.
Sorry Momolos, I agree with Freddie Winters here….
I take road trips with the BEV but they are of the under 500 mile variety….. Anything Else I take the Volt or ELR since where I live in Western NY State, the reliability and availability of Fast chargers is dicey.
I don’t want to be stranded anywhere, and the only refuge fast charging drivers had were the Volkswagen paid for Electrify America things, which for quite a while this year were totally broken, (AND WITH NO LEVEL 2 docking stations nearby either !).
Taking a driving vacation is eventful enough without having unreliability plus lack of access thrown into the mix.
Fast charging is somewhat environmentally irresponsible, in that the costs incurred no way equal the expenses incurred, but at least EA is PAYING for this and therefore, are installing battery bays in the corral to reduce their expenses, and thereby make the complex more environmentally fit.
A PHEV provides environmently responsible charging, (the vast majority of the time at a slow off-peak rate) and Electric Car people usually don’t like to admit it, but cars like the VOLT or the Toyota Prime vehicles cause very little pollution even when in Gasoline mode – their engines using so little gasoline to begin with and then having minimal emissions – the Toyotas in particular achieve an amazing 40% efficiency – which for a PRIME MOVER is usually only available with stationary products. Of course, winter time travel using jacket heat Increases the utilization efficiency to approach 70%. Amazing.
I will probably never purchase a totally non-plugin vehicle ever again, preferring to drive electrically the vast majority of the time.
But – since I don’t see any fast charging being offered other than EA’s one time bonanza with VW, I don’t see this situation improving in over a decade…
If a for profit station wanted to install fast chargers, the required charges would be so high that everyone would take their vacation using gasoline since it is so much cheaper.
This all is leading to why I want the Bolt to continue offering OPTIONAL fast charging, so that it is left off cars that I and people like me purchase, since I never intend on using it. I plan my next plug-in to be either a BOLT EUV, or else a Cadillac Lyriq WITHOUT the fast charging option, and without the 11kw or19 kw charging options, respectively.
@Bill Howland
The point I was trying to make is that a lot of people do not have the Luxury of having multiple vehicles. And some find no need to have a second vehicle. So you are basically making my point. The Bolt should have been a cheaply priced (25K) vehicle that some use as an everyday City Run about and some use as a secondary vehicle option. A Bolt should not be anywhere near 40K let alone almost 50K.
I hope that GM realizes this and prices the refreshed Bolt accordingly.
I agree completely except 25 grand is probably not satisfactory to GM. I like the Bolt and the range but it is too rich for my blood. I am looking at a 2017 Fiat 500E with 30,000 miles for $6950 and it has a range of 85 miles, good for city travel in the day and night time charging on 110,, Any comments about Fiat 500E would be appreciated. Freddie
Sorry Momolos:
Those 1-car families drive a Volt. Or a Chrysler Pacifica. But no matter – in the future they will buy a lower end Toyota RAV4 Prime.
Nobody nowadays pays that much for a Bolt. Most Teslas go for full retail if they are new. Big difference in actual price paid.
And I don’t see fast charging as much of a solution anyway, since the cost of all of them has been subsidized. Electrify America’s by VW, and Tesla’s by the inertial stock price aggrandizement.
Tesla has a good deal: Building more superchargers causes the stock price to go up, so it doesn’t matter what the SC’s cost. Few other companies are in such an enviable position.
I’ve found many dealerships claim to have Bolts with the DCFC option but if you look at pictures they supply it just has the plastic plug and doesn’t really have it.
Zero reason other than Greed is DC Fast Charging not Standard Fare.
Yes on charging and at least 10k typical at home and 100 minimal to 150 on the road! It will be interesting to see who buys what cars coming out from the others….Ford, VW, Kia, Hyundai and of course GM.
Full of incorrect numbers. My loaded LT was $27400 out the door on January 30. Tell me again how your joke Tesla is close to that price, even the bare bones model. $8500 off has been offered since January. So stop with all your misleading crap.
You can log on Chevy site and Tesla site to check those numbers. That is exactly where I got them from. You do realize that Rebates are not on the MSRP and also not always on offer correct?
I agree with your comments. My problem is cost! I went to a Chevy Dealership and the only Bolts they had were the Premier models and they only wanted $47,000 plus change! Even the $36,620 will not work for me. The Chinese are able to provide subsidised all electric cars to their citizens of modest means at $5000 dollars and it is called a Kandi 100 for disbelievers. A company in Dallas Texas has just launched the Kandi 23 and the Kandi 27 for American distribution. On the other hand, General Motors recently launched the E300Plus in China, not for sale in the USA!!! Start ups are offering some interesting transportation all electric alternatives: Take a look at ARCIMOTO for around $20,000 and another one from our Canadian friends called the SOLO at $18,500. It also sounds like Volkswagen is making a big commitment to all electric vehicles with substantial range in the near future. What would be interesting with a new battery pack for improved range, is the Mitsubishi I-Miev which was discontinued in the USA at the end of 2017 . I hope that the “Big Three” will take a look at an entry level, all electric vehicle for $20,000 or less with a range of 150 to 190 miles. I would call it a purpose built, city/urban vehicle, not a highway cruiser for long distance travel. This would allow people of modest income to experience the wonder and adjustments of driving an all electric vehicle in the USA. I can always wish and hope for a Mustang E, but it will never happen for me. blessings, Freddie
This is why I have always said the Bolt needs to be sold starting at 25K. It is a tiny car that besides early EV Adopters will not pay over 40K for such a vehicle.
It is just NOT competitive with what is coming from the competition.
It’s been $8500 since January when I bought my Oasis Blue as pictured here.
As far as the Direct Current Fast Charging facility goes – I’d rather save the $750.00 plus sales tax. My 2017 BOLT now has 64,000 miles under its belt, ~20,000 miles per annum, and I’ve never needed the facility. The new 2020’s (and also next year’s) have a 10% larger battery, which I definitely WOULD like to have.
We’ll have to see if in years hence the upcoming Bolt EUV (supposedly around the same size as an equanox on the inside) ever has an option LARGER than a 66 kwh battery – standard on both cars. There is supposedly a 48 ampere charger for the BOLT EUV, whether this is an optional extra over the BOLT EV’s 32 ampere unit was unspecified.
I never need a car to charge beyond 32 amperes, since most public charging docks are 30, so If my next vehicle is the EUV, I’d want NO DCFC, a larger than 66 kwh battery option, and a 32 ampere (standard) charging facility.
so how much money is gm now losing on each one being sold? even with the federal tax credit, they were losing thousands on each sold.
is anything going to change with the bolt euv? it will be bigger and more expensive. i’m afraid with the conservative design, gm is going to end up throwing a lot of money on the hood just to compete with other automakers that still have the full tax credit.
I may be wrong but I think GM is going to use the same old Battery Pack that the regular Bolt uses. It is not using the new GM Ultium Tech.
That is correct that the same 66 kwh (when new) ‘Non-Ultium’ battery will be initially used in the Bolt EUV.
As far as they losing money on EVERY bolt ev manufactured, even with the $8,500 customer cash they are giving away with every one, I doubt GM has ever lost money on the bolt ev. The car is very bare bones, and the only place they spent a bit more money is with an extra beefy reduction gearbox – more stout than even the 400 hp 2wd model S Teslas – which had plenty of gearbox troubles, ‘murmuring’, etc. The Bolt ev never develops more than 200 hp. I basically bought the car on seeing an exploded diagram of the gear box, and figured that if most of the rest of the car was built this conservatively, I want one.
As I say, it runs well with 64,000 miles under its belt, and I don’t detect any sound changes – a good thing when it comes to gear box longevity. Even under 200 hp of strain, you don’t hear any complaints from the reduction gears. Wish GM built all their stuff this way – but by default they seem to be the most reliable ev maker to date. Only problem I had with my Cadillac ELR was a dead center touch screen, and a crappy 12 volt glycol pump for the heater.
Dear GM: Please stop buying chinese junk parts and use Korean or Vietnamese stuff instead if you can’t bring yourself to actually purchase American Made parts
That said, apparently the average GM product is 58% American/Canadian made. I suppose kudos are in order.
We now have Haah Automotive Holdings sniffing around the USA for an old closed auto plant so they can hire American workers to build Chinese cars in America.. I remember hearing a high official from GM explain that we are not an American company but rather an International company. The comment did not smell right to me! Blessings, Freddie
Why am I not surprised? I have a Volt. Second hand Volts are cheap, and they work better.
Is there anybody out there who knows why GM crushed all the EV1s? Can you imagine how an EV1 would have performed with lithium Ion batteries. I guess we will never know?
I can understand why my canadien dealer refuse to apply thé promotion
Michel, Take a look at the all electric SOLO, a product of Canada!!!!
Many of us in the Midwest desire AWD for winter driving, or if not that, at least front wheel, Tesla 3 is RWD or $50k for AWD. Also little support for Tesla’s in Midwest, no dealers, repair shops, etc. Tesla cars are great, very cool, and Musk is an impressive guy, but Tesla’s don’t work for everyone so ease up.
I know the driving dynamics are better with RWD, but the ID4 being RWD only at launch could be a mistake. It’ll make the YouTube reviewers in CA happy, but folks that drive in the snow will want FWD or AWD.
I’m still an ICE driver, but looking. One thing I’ve noticed is that the perfect EV is always coming NEXT year, always just around the corner. The Tesla 3, Bolt, the Leaf, I3, these are the EVs we have today, these are our choices right now. If you wait for the perfect time to get your EV, it’ll never happen. It’s like waiting till you’re “ready” to get married, you never are.
Chevy is putting some serious money on the hood for the Bolt, I have a local dealer, and it would work perfect as a commuter for me, IF they can deal enough. No other EV maker is close to me, we’ll Ford is but the Mustang E is another year out and will be $45k+, IF our local deal even gets certified to sell it.
Everyone has to do what’s right for their driving needs and wallet, so stop trash talking other folks choices.
