Is it practical to own it as the primary car though? Can you travel cross-country in the Bolt without spending hours charging?

- clouddrover 7y agoYes. In the video he talks about the roadtrip he is on right now from Boston to Austin for the Fully Charged Live event. He's posting more videos as he goes. Here's a 2020 Bolt doing a 1,000 km trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMVRm8UvHjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMVRm8UvHjs Here's a Bolt which did the Cannonball run: https://www.torquenews.com/8861/chevrolet-bolt-ev-set-cannonball-run-record-and-no-one-noticed https://www.torquenews.com/8861/chevrolet-bolt-ev-set-cannon... Here's a 2017 Bolt surviving the cold: https://www.torquenews.com/8861/my-chevy-bolt-ev-sat-unplugged-cold-heres-what-i-learned https://www.torquenews.com/8861/my-chevy-bolt-ev-sat-unplugg... As ever, you need to plan your trip around charging stops. A Better Route Planner (https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ https://abetterrouteplanner.com/) is a useful tool but it's a bit conservative for the Bolt (although I think it's better to be conservative than stranded). It also doesn't necessarily take into account overnight charging. On a long trip you'd charge overnight and start the next day with a full battery: https://www.torquenews.com/8861/chevrolet-bolt-ev-issues-better-route-planner https://www.torquenews.com/8861/chevrolet-bolt-ev-issues-bet...
