One issue with Kayak’s explore thing is that all the prices are for a grab bag of trip lengths from 2 to 18 days. I find that to be less than useful. Fareness lets you specify the trip length and then all of the prices shown correspond to trips of that length.

Other than price, the #1 thing that keeps people from jumping into an EV is range anxiety / charge times / road trip capability. Tesla addressed this with Superchargers, which charge fully in an hour, and a global network of chargers spaced apart to avoid ever running out of power.

Right? Total arrogance. “Oh we’ve got this, we’re GM”. Except no not really, you don’t. You’ve built (maybe) a car that charges at 19kW vs Tesla’s 120kW (six times slower than Tesla), isn’t fun to drive, is slow, has no charging network (and even if it did, you wouldn’t wait 3.5 hours for a charge on a road trip with…

Any EV owner should have a 220v outlet in their garage, because you plug in at night and in the morning, you’ve got full range. Thing is, the Bolt, if it’s J1772, is limited to 240V / 80 A or 19.2 kW which means 3.5 hours of charging for a 70kW battery but apparently the Bolt isn’t even able to deliver that charging…

No and the Bolt will take 9 hours to charge, according to GM’s site. Not a road car. That, and its uninspiring driving experience, will assure that it can’t compete with the 3. The 3 will likely take 45 mins or less to charge for road trips (as this is the case for the S now). Both cars would be fine for local…

Knowing Musk, I doubt it’ll give up sexiness. He’s not going to make a shit box.

With J1772 and say, a 70 kWh battery pack, the Bolt will take 3.6 hours to charge. A road car? I think not. Leave it to GM to screw up the concept from the get go. If this thing ends up being anywhere near the Model 3 price, which has 45-60min supercharging all over the country for road trips, the Bolt won’t sell even…

Maybe in your world you snap your fingers and completed projects drop from the sky, but in reality, things get built over some period of time.

You’re not going to drive across the country or for any long distance on Level 2 “generic charging stations” (if you can find one, which isn’t likely on the open road) which take many hours to charge. Tesla Superstations are high power, high current stations that charge an 85kWh battery in 45-60 mins while you have a…
