120V charging is slow but will do the trick if you’re not traveling far on a regular basis. Plug it in while you sleep just like your phone. Most metro areas have extensive public charging networks if there’s a day you’ll need more juice faster.

My old commute was 60 miles round trip so I had a 240V outlet installed…

The money comes in when you start leasing. GM’s going to set the residual value off of that $37,495 MSRP, and the federal incentives are going to cut down on the capitalized cost. You’re easily looking at sub-$200 monthly payments on top of not having to buy gas anymore.

Hell, you can even lease a leftover 2016 BMW i3…

Have you driven the Model 3 yet? Car and Driver just ran their P85D through their Lightning Lap and it went into limp mode after the first corner. How is that an enthusiast car?

The Bolt is SAE CCS compatible. Here’s the CCS network.

This is a highly relevant comment since it turns out 95% of American commuters drive clear across Texas every single day.

Any moron with Photoshop can make a triangle train look square. Wake up sheeple!

Although, to that end, I suppose you could call every modern seven-plus seat unibody SUV a “van thing with a small lift” too.

If this is Skoda’s first SUV, what are we calling the Yeti? Are we now all agreed that it was just some kind of weird van thing with a small lift?

Shame this breaks Takata’s continuous stream of positive press.

Here’s your car, professor.

Your average city bus, while not known for achieving neck-breaking speeds (although fully capable of achieving uncomfortable stopping power) is generally in service anywhere from 12 to 18 hours a day for twelve years before being put out to pasture.

Take that, McLaren.

“Easy.” *proceeds to quote layers upon layers of bureaucratic hurdles required to make it legal*

It’s not here legally and the only hope this car has of not being crusher bait (for a couple more years/months/days, anyway) is if it stays registered in Florida. The second another DMV looks at a title transfer it’s boned.

Data point: My significant other drives a beige XV40 Camry. She backed into somebody a few weeks ago pulling out of a parking spot. She too now has the Camry Dent.

Totally fine. You can do that and the Camry-driving demographic that refuses to start moving at a green light because they’re too busy Snapchatting can switch over. Still a net win for energy efficiency at the end of the day.

Also as a Fiat 500e driver I’ll echo another comment in this thread by saying there’s a lot to…

California’s switching up its energy credit program so it’ll stop subsidizing Hollywood’s Teslas and start putting way more into programs for lower-income folks, so that’s a start.

Because once we can tie in automotive emissions with power plant emissions, any improvement in power plant emissions also reduces automotive emissions at the same time.

It doesn’t hurt that EVs are considerably more energy efficient from fuel to motion than the 30-40 percent of gasoline-powered cars.

I wonder if this will make the police consider getting high-visibility patterns on their cars instead of pretending they all need to look like black ops agents. Doubt it.
