The Bolt is a better platform/drivetrain than anyone here might give it credit for. It's range is commendable. If a 1st gen Solid State Battery w/ 1.5x all the way up to 3x ends up in this platform we are their.

She won't win any beauty contest, but as my auto gnome noted, they took a compact high center of gravity almost small CUV shape, and with the batteries below the floor and a low CG vehicle with great distribution that handles well. I am still on the fence w/ the self driving thing. Electric is it's enabler. That has to be fungible without destroying the supplier base and reduce charging times to less than 10 minutes. That is coming too.

BTW, I think this whole Electric Car tipping point event will happen within PDJT's 2 terms. Not investment advice, however I can only imagine what it could do to the markets, very much like the tech boom under Clinton...

Whatever it is now...is all that it is, and it might not even be all of that.

My dislike for the car in question has nothing to do with it being electric. I dislike it because it has no steering wheel, brake pedal or method of manual acceleration.

Cool.

I like your analysis. Electric cars can work very well in urban areas.

But, if they are going to take away the steering wheel and pedals, they better put in a controller!
