It is critical to remember that the Bolt EUV is more or less competing directly with cars like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E,
Making it 6” longer to have a bigger backseat, thus adding weight, probably has more to do with the mileage loss than the 0.2” of height.
The SN95 Mustang. When I was in high school, every kid with rich parents had a V6 with the Pep Boys rebadging nonsense.
I always like it when a little bit of collective, shared insanity takes over a group of people. In the early 1980s,…
Don’t be ridiculous. They aren’t actually going to let people drive the RAV4s! That would be silly. Its more like “see how the RAV4's door mirrors just fall off” *salesman hits door mirror with a hammer* “Well the Nissan won’t do that” *suddenly a transmission explodes in the parking lot* “ahhh that was a Hyundai”
“Now let’s drive the Toyota to compare the two,” the salesman suggested. Around 2 minutes later and a mile and a half down the road I noticed the salesman’s facial expressions change and he started to anxiously squirm. After a short but uncomfortable silence he meekly confessed, “You know what? This is actually a…

That’s what I was thinking.
You will definitely see a camper build out of it! Just got confirmation that my RV plates are on the way, too!
This is why I love our C-Max Energi. Only 20 miles of all-electric range, which isn’t a lot, but it’s all I need the vast majority of the time. Once we go beyond that, we’re still getting great mileage and the range on gas is fantastic.
It’s little esoteric nuggets like this that keep me from completely losing faith in Jalopnik.
Some of the biggest hurdles in accelerating electrification are producing EVs that people actually want to drive, and converting people who “wouldn’t be caught dead in a Prius” to EV drivers. The Hummer is definitely a silly vehicle, but it achieves both of these goals.
40% heavier than carbon fiber is still way lighter than aluminum. If it’s more than 40% cheaper it could catch on.
