This article is part of a multi-part series. You can find Part 1 here. Let’s make one thing clear from the beginning: The Bolt EUV is not an off-road machine. Not only does it lack serious ground clearance, 4-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and skid plates, but it’s also a unibody … [continued]
This article is part of a multi-part series. You can find Part 1 here. It’s one thing to take a road trip, but just like any vehicle, you lose a lot of range with speed in an EV. Texas highways are already tough, with speed limits of 80 in the … [continued]
This article is part of a multi-part series. You can find Part 1 here. In Part 1, I covered home charging installation, which went well despite me requesting something unusual. Now, I’m going to cover the other side of the charging coin by telling the tale of a road trip … [continued]
About a month ago, I shared my experiences from the first month of ownership of my Bolt EUV. I thought I had given it a pretty good test, but I managed to test several important aspects of Bolt EUV ownership to much greater extremes since then. Most people wouldn’t do … [continued]
Like any good CleanTechnica writer, I do long-term reviews of any clean vehicle I buy, borrow, rent, or get time with from the manufacturer. A recent e-mail from GM’s OnStar service tells me that I’ve had the vehicle for about a month, so it seems like a good time to … [continued]
I have to admit that I initially skipped over GM’s latest press release.

But, there were some nuggets of information that I should … [continued]
In Part 1, I covered some general issues and pleasantries we ran into throughout the trip. Access to dealer-based charging stations can be problematic if you’re running late, adaptive cruise shouldn’t be used on steep downhill stretches of roads, and the vehicle is surprisingly efficient considering its bigger size over … [continued]
The Bolt’s Journey Has Been A Bumpy One If you’ve been following the news of the Bolt EV here, you’ve seen the highs and the lows. On the upside, GM managed to bring it to market faster than Tesla brought out the Model 3, but it didn’t sell like Tesla’s … [continued]
Today’s news is very bad for General Motors. Before now, fire problems were thought to be limited to the 2017-2019 model years of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, and that problem was almost solved. Now, Chevrolet is telling us that even newer vehicles, including some of the 2020-2022 Bolt EVs as … [continued]
The refreshed Chevrolet Bolt EV and the new Bolt EUV that are coming out this summer are pretty cool cars. The Bolt was already a solid vehicle, with reasonable range and a liquid-cooled battery, and the new EUV version is going to be a welcome addition with many buyers who … [continued]
