Tesla Killer? A First Look at the Chevy Bolt

The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, an electric car capable of 200 miles on a single charge and priced under $30,000, enters the market ahead of Tesla's similar offering. GM's existing manufacturing capabilities give it an edge, allowing for efficient production. The Bolt features impressive performance metrics, including a 0-60 mph time under 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 95 mph. It includes a 10.2-inch touchscreen and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. While the design is pragmatic, with cost-saving materials, it offers a practical choice for those seeking a long-range, affordable electric vehicle.
