So a leaf with a +20 mile upgrade would beat it easily in everything including ugly points? Neat. Way to flop again, GM.
I've got a crumby idea: How about a long range EV with a dual pack system, like a dual tank pickup truck. You could get away with half the charger and half the wire capacity, and still get nearly 2x the range.
- torinmr 10y agoWhere'd you get +20 miles from? The Leaf has a 108 mile range, the Bolt has a 238 mile range - that's a huge difference.
- 5ilv3r 10y agoI must have misheard the sales guy when I test drove one. Thought he said 180.
- codeulike 10y agoDepends whether your talking NEDC range (European standard) which is always wildly over optimistic, or EPA range (USA) which is actually pretty accurate. 30kwh Leaf gets about 110 miles which is roughly it's EPA rating (I drive one). Be very skeptical of European manufacturers talking about their EV range in press releases, they are usually talking NEDC.
- photogrammetry 10y agoThere's a LEAF available with 125 mile range, and next year's model is said to have a 60kWh battery (meaning 200+ miles).
- alexose 10y agoThe 200mi Leaf isn't out until 2018, and even then, the bigger 60kWh battery won't come standard. The fact that there's a 238mi EV available today for less then 30 grand is a huge achievement.
