Articles about Chevy’s Bolt

We’re now on our second Chevy Bolt and as a result I’ve written a lot about the Bolt. In addition there has been a number of news stories about the Bolt and GM’s on and off again plans to produce the car in the future. I am assembling the articles here for my friends, colleagues, and family members who drive a Bolt.

For those who are comfortable with a used EV, a low mileage Bolt with a new battery — which comes with an 8-year warranty from the date the battery was replaced — is an excellent choice, especially now with the $4000 federal tax credit available.
