    Good. There are enough EV SUVs out there, but not enough small car EVs. The Bolt slotted in nicely in the price range I think most buyers are looking for.

    I assume next-gen bolts won’t have Apple Carplay or Android Auto. Might be a deal breaker for some.

      Likely. I think all companies will be doing their best to create their own software & subscription ecosystems, along with data collection, to generate revenue streams since most EVs should be low maintenance and companies will need to find other ways to bring money in.

    Not surprised that they’re replacing the Bolt with something similar but new. Don’t really care what they call it as long as they manage to keep the value proposition.

      I think a lot of people will seriously consider this car as their first EV. An AWD option would be nice, but I don’t know if that makes sense for this model.
