Hi folks,
Just found this community and curious about what everyone is either using as a daily driver or have got their eyes on in the EV space.
I’m from Vancouver, and a few years ago my partner and I bought a new Chevrolet Volt PHEV as a “bridge” car to get us through the next while as charging infrastructure scales out. We get about 100km of electric range in the warmer times and 70km in the winter. Perfect for our needs around Vancouver, while still giving us flexibility to drive out to Whistler or Banff for our vacation roadtrips.
So what are you driving?
Tbh while I’m ready to ditch gas, electric vehicles need to drop in price drastically and companies need to support them long term before Im going to be financially comfortable getting one. Chevrolet dropping both the Bolt and Volt in less than 4 years spells terrible for smaller electrics, sedans and hatchbacks.
What I would really love to see is companies formatting their previously combustion models as electric.
Wow. I hadn’t heard the bolt was being discontinued. I know they have a number of other EVs on the roadmap, but I don’t know if any will hit the Bolt pricepoint
They’ve moved to the Ultium platform and are discontinuing the Bolt lineup I think until they get their new EVs out. The battery tech they are about to add apparently saves them close to 40% in production costs. I have a feeling the bolt will be back down the road.
