IMO nothing beats a slightly used Volt.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoYeah, but GM products are not exactly fashionable among people shopping for Tesla alternatives.
- dexterdog 8y agoAnd the i3 is? That's one of the ugliest cars on the market.
- seattle_spring 8y agoIt's not about the look of the car for BMW owners, it's just about the price tag and the name on the badge.
- dexterdog 8y agoI thought the i3 was a pretty affordable BMW esp if you can get the rebates.
- seattle_spring 8y agoI think you may fall into the category of people I was referring to, if you think $45k for a slow, base model car is no big deal.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoAn ugly German luxury car is still a German luxury car.
- dmead 8y agothe (v|b)olt has horrible charging infrastructure.
- asdignoio 8y agoIt doesn't matter for the Volt. Since it has a range extender, there's no real need for fast charging. Just charging it every night from a 120V outlet will eliminate most gas usage for most people. If you run out of charge, it's an annoyance rather than a disaster. I can't speak to the Bolt since I've never seen one.
- dmead 8y agoI've test driven a bolt and done the diligence on it. It needs 4 (FOUR) days to charge on a standard outlet. If you happen to own a house, you can have the higher amp outlet installed for like 2k. Otherwise, good luck finding a fast charging station for GM cars. They don't exist.
- fjsolwmv 8y agoIt depends on your mileage. 4days to fully recharge from empty, if you are on a road trip (which you obviously couldn't do in a Bolt). But overnight it will charge 50miles, which covers local daily use.
- serpix 8y agoIt is a ridiculously well engineered car. Way more power than the competition, bigger battery than the competition. The 2009 model is still technically ahead of all the other plugins on the market.
