Small battery with that speed should feel pretty good. Not quite as quick as an eGMP car, but not bad!

Yeah this is a pretty compelling package all things considered. Especially if you’re into the way GM does (Chevrolet) EVs.

The Leaf might make an overall more compelling argument, each has some very specific things going for and against them.

My friend does a lot better with his IRL, so I’m guessing it’s a very conservative estimate

Brad Ysseldyke @yssman.bsky.social · 8h

Sounds like the range estimate is from GM, not the EPA!

Electrek is saying 150kW on the 65kWh pack. Quoted a 26 minute 10-80% run.

That’s what I’d figure, too. My friend’s EUV is hella efficient, and this has the updated motor from the Equinox.

Gonna be interesting to see it compared to the Leaf S+ that has more range and the tech people want 😅

According to Electrek, it’s a 65kWh LFP pack, same motor from the Equinox, 150kWh charge speed for 10-80% in 26 minutes.

The LT Comfort model (heated leatherette seats) will be $30k with destination.

I’m sure the larger EUV-like size isn’t helping. I guess I forgot that it was only rated for 247mi, so this is *technically* better.

Really curious where that LFP battery wound up size-wise, and which motor they’re using.

Brad Ysseldyke @yssman.bsky.social · 8h

Well, here’s that 2026 Bolt announcement!

Updated exterior and interior (but not quite the same as the Ultium cars)… no note about the LFP battery, but a BIG reduction in range to an EPA estimated 255.

They’ve been on an insane hiring spree here in West Michigan, very disappointed to hear about the cuts.

Ah yeah, “AI Automation,” I’m sure that it’ll work great.

Good think they’ve got their name on that new amphitheater.

Major Grand Rapids company laying off 400 people due to AI, 200 in West Michigan

Acrisure's CEO called the decision "painful" but necessary as the firm continues its technology transformation that began with a $400 million AI acquisition in 2020.

Very odd choice to pull it for a few years… must have been something about moving the line and all that

I’ve got big hands and even I don’t like to stretch that far!

Give it a look if you’re out and about… I think what we’re seeing is a lot of the “affordable” brands are now give/take the same price as more premium ones.

In my line of work, more business/office oriented, everyone’s on eggshells waiting to find out if our tariffs are gonna skyrocket.

I continue to believe anything more than 5.7” is really just wasting space.

This month Criterion Channel has a John Woo collection , a Tsui Hark collection , and a Jean Rollin collection - not to mention a shit ton of great horror movies for October - it’s the only streaming service worth having, my friends

I think the craziest thing about the furniture industry at this moment is that the whole system really is a house of cards. Starting to get an idea of what price increases are going to look like next year, and man, I’m not sure how any of this is sustainable.

I think you might be right.

I keep forgetting about Apple Intelligence and then I get annoyed by it. As good a reminder as ever to switch it off!

Like we all know, light reskin of the front and rear… no shots of the interior.

Since the charge port is in the wrong spot, it doesn’t quite work in a Supercharger spot like it’s supposed to.

Anyone else see the 2026 Bolt that was just, uh, out there charging at a Tesla station?
