Honest to god, I'd just get a used one and call it a day. The upgraded battery and charging ability is nice to see, but most people who drive EVs likely don't DC fast charge that much.

If Chevy was a Chinese brand, these changes would have been implemented in 2018, 12 months after introduction.

No in the old Bolt and EUV it was available for wireless Android Auto and Carplay. Not so for the relaunch.

Ours also has satellite radio built in...

We'll sell our Bolt EUV for $27,995 has car play, and android auto.

Charged from DC like 3 times. All other are L2.

We know what we got. ;)

50-kW charging and Apple CarPlay, plus that state of zen, or 150-kW charging and the anxiety of no Apple CarPlay?

Tough decisions.

Savoring the calm moments: 50kWh charging brings peaceful pauses, transforming wait time into a zen-like electric refueling ritual. #EVLife

"GM would not clarify what it meant by limited run during a call with news media on Oct. 9. GM plans to start shipping Bolts to dealerships in January."

Many reporters asked what that means. We all got: "We'll tell you later."

Most baffling new-car reveal in some time, this one, #EV or otherwise.

Originally marketed as a sport-utility vehicle, the Bolt EV debuted in 2016 and quickly set sales records.

It's pretty captivating to view how hot parts of ICE vehicles are.

A fun view from Escalade IQs night vision looking at a Hummer EV and another Escalade IQ just entering the shot.

Behind us was an Audi e-tron. So the high society types are catching onto the EV way.

Still sounds less bad than our public DC charging experience this morning.

The future self listed Craigslist type ads for Bolt and EUVs will be wild.

With strong "I know what I got energy"!

All I'm reading is OG Bolt Owners got a sweet sweet deal if they don't need 150 kWh charging.

Can't say this enough @evgostock.bsky.social needs to get it's shit together in Detroit.

Not joking add a bank of 12x 350kwh chargers in Warren next to GM Warren Technical center.

One is not okay.

Sounds like #bustedride news unfolding huh?

Busted Ride @bustedride.bsky.social · 1d

Wondering if that GM and Hyundai EV partnership on small cars ever makes it's way to North America, or just abroad?

Busted Ride @bustedride.bsky.social · 1d

Basically if this was for literally Bolt owners.

All they did was say we made the EUV for you, but badge deleted EUV... And deleted Carplay and Android Auto (you're welcome).

And 3x'd your old DC charging time.

Please trade in your Bolt so our dealerships have something cheap to sell the poors.

... No... 😅

Busted Ride @bustedride.bsky.social · 1d

It me. I'm a Bolt EUV owner.
