It's cheap, small, and has great range. Not AWD but it does fine in winter thanks to the weight. I've had it for 3 years now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I hope they release an updated Bolt with a little faster charging. It is great as a city car, but for folks that want to do longer trips 50kw is a little rough. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I haven't had any issues with taking it on roadtrips. After 5 hours of driving, it's nice to stop for an hour to stretch while it charges. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago Fair. I've done road trips in a car that charges at 120kw and that seemed about as long as I would want to wait (about 30 minutes if it is super low). The breaks are for sure nice though. I'm always surprised how less tired I am in long trips thanks to the charging breaks. permalink fedilink source parent
