Chevrolet Unveils 200-Mile Bolt EV At Detroit Auto Show

Posted by timothy on from the no-accounting-for-taste dept.

MikeChino writes Tesla, take cover – General Motors is taking aim at the affordable electric vehicle market with the brand new Chevy Bolt, which was just unveiled at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The all-electric vehicle is able to travel 200 miles on a single charge, and it will cost about $30,000 – which puts it squarely in the ring with the Tesla Model 3. According to the article, "Chevrolet is planning to launch the Bolt EV in 2017, and inside sources say that it will be available in all 50 states."

    I was totally interested until I saw the color they used for their demo. Eww!

    On a positive note, I suppose gaudy orange could be considered an anti-theft feature.

    They will sue, it is Disney.

    What's next, suing over the DVD release of Back to the Future because of the lightning "BOLT" harvested for its 1.21 GW of raw chronomeddling power? Even Disney realizes that some lawsuits can be dispensed with in motions for summary judgment. Disney has no more of a case about this than it would have about "FROZEN" yogurt unless it depicts Elsa on the packaging or otherwise implies endorsement. Lawyers would advise Disney to just "LET IT GO".

  8. Concept vs. Reality by pr0t0 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Given the original Chevy Volt concept looked like this and the production looked like this. I fully expect the Bolt to go from this to this.

    I'm sorry, but your opinion seems to be wrong.

    At $200/share, Tesla's market cap is about $25 billion dollars. GM buys that much coffee and bagels? No wonder they went bankrupt recently.
