$30k plus tax after $14k Ontario rebate(s), almost 400km of range on a single charge. Who needs a Tesla?

10yr/160K warranty, and guaranteed 65% battery capacity at the end of the warranty. Seems like a real no-risk proposition.

Now when does the 0%/84mos offer come out?

I wonder if they are running these batteries conservatively like my wifes Volt where it never depletes below 20% and never charges above 80%.

Wait for wynne to offer more incentives to go green. All she needs to do is add another gas tax and were set for 0%/84 months!

To get 383km of range, you'd have to think they're going much deeper into the battery cycles.

The problem with the huge incentive (33% of the price of the car) is that if and when it goes away, no one is going to buy one. At least not until GM can sell it for closer to $30k without the rebate.

Rule-of-thumb seems to be 10-15% hit in the cold months. That's still 325km of range if 15% is the number.

It's more like 20%. Battery isn't as efficient and the use of heat kills range.

Once they get one I can try, I may cancel my Model 3 order.

Range is shit that's why. Can it even do highway speeds pure electric?

Tesla owners claim it's close to 30% in the winter months and a good 20% in the summer with A/C on.

Regardless, this Bolt is awesome and the pricing is great! Hate GM with a passion, but i'd consider this for a daily.

A3 e-tron balances more toward gas than electric. It can do 130kph max on electric, but max range is only 26-30km. Pales in comparison to the Bolt or even the Volt.

Total range is 550-600, though, so there's a bit more flexibility there if you do long trips (compared to the Bolt). And with both powertrains running together, the car does 200hp and 258lb-ft so it feels a bit sportier than either the Bolt or Volt.

Really depends what your driving needs are, at the end of the day. If you can charge at home and at work, and commute within 30km, you'll barely touch the gas engine.

If you just want higher priority on electric, the Volt is a much better option (18kwh battery vs 8.8).

No mistake about it, tho, the Bolt is an amazing accomplishment from GM. Can't wait to try one.

At what rpm does the etron make 258lbs? Is it combined or electric only? The volt makes something like 260lbs from a dead start. It kills everything I have ever driven in terms of pick up from a dead start.

You don't understand why an all electric car that gets almost 400km on a single charge for 30k is exciting? I mean let's start by looking at all the comparables out there....

Call me uneducated, naive, etc, but what is the benefit of such a vehicle? Wife has a pretty long commute, so a more fuel effecient car might be a good iead.

A Tesla I can see as its very tech filled and performance oriented in some cases, but a near $40k Bolt that doesnt seem much more fuel efficient that a Fit or other subcompact econobox.

Risky, at that point the car becomes a pure appliance. I thought we are car enthusiasts here. What fun is it to flog an over weight and silent car with characterless power delivery? All electric cars will be of the same feeling--that is, instant torque from zero. Pure silence and no drama. And trust me, it is most advantageous for me to go EV since there is priority parking and free charging at the velodrome :p but I give no fucks. Not excited. Would rather spend 30k on a used 964 10 yearsago

Risky is already at that appliance phase though, ask him about the shitbox that he enjoys commuting in.

Fack I commuted in a subaru outback for a few years and thought it a proper car. A bolt would have been amazing for that.

Are there any hybrid or electric cars that you have driven that you can compare it to?
