Car fans are also looking toward the future at the next best model, latest technology and advancements. Within the next couple of years, Chevrolet wants to tap into the growing electric market with an all-electric car of its own: the Bolt.
According to Shad Balch of GM, “... leadership has essentially fast-tracked this car into production” after the concept was shown off at the Detroit Auto Show back in February.
The Bolt will also be built in America, and there should be an estimated 200-plus miles of range on a charge. Taking cues from its hybrid Volt cousin, the Bolt looks to expand on the battery technology of the Volt and Spark EV.
All 50 states are expected to have the Bolt on sale by 2017, which offers an alternative to the proposed Tesla 3. Those in Tennessee who are looking for an eco-friendly or electric car will be thrilled to get behind the wheel of a Bolt.
An all-electric car will surely provide a positive offering to the Chevrolet portfolio and to the vehicles at West Chevrolet. As Chevy already makes hybrids, sedans, performance cars, muscle cars, CUVs and SUVs, an electric car will be a welcome fit.
“... it is a long-range EV that anybody can get themselves into. ... [This is] a good alternative to the luxury long-range EVs that are available now,” Balch said. “It's something that people can see themselves actually affording to get into. That's the message from this car.”
What are your thoughts on the Bolt? Would you drive one?
