Chevrolet delivered on its pledge to produce a 200-mile electric car this year with the arrival of the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV. Chevy came to Atlanta recently to show off the Bolt to local automotive media.
The highlights:
- It has a range capacity of an estimated 238 miles, eliminating the "range anxiety" that keeps a lot of people from buying all-electric cars.
- It costs around $37,000, but with federal incentives, the price drops to just a tad under $30,000.
- It seats five people, with no large hump in the middle where many electric cars have the battery storage area.
- Chevy calls the Bolt a crossover, rather than a hatchback. Either way, it's got five doors.
We did not get a chance to test drive the Bolt, but look forward to doing so soon, and will provide an update at that time. But it looks like Chevy might have a bit of a game changer on its hands.
