has an EPA range of 149 miles
We have those already, they don't sell well.
starts at $32,500
Jesus, we are talking just shy of Model 3 prices here. Yeah, this thing isn't going to sell.
built in Italy
It doesn't even qualify for full subsidies. This thing is practically DOA.
A Chevy Bolt is ~27k and has a 260 mi EPA range. I don't see why people would get this one.
Because they discontinued the Bolt.
I'm not optimisitc that they'll keep the price low. Guess it could happen...
Yeah, the main reason the Bolt is as cheap as it is now is because of its way outdated charge speed. No way they keep that in the next version, and I'm sure they'll bump the price up $5-10K while they're at it.
It still charges at 50kW which is around 200mph, so it's not bad at all for occasional longer road trips.
Home charging is always great at 11.4kW which gets from empty to full in under 5 hours.
Superb value for the cost.
No argument there. I like the Bolt as is it is. But that doesn't mean they're going to leave well enough alone when they could get more marketing points AND more profits at the same time.
It can charge at up to 55kW, but that's under perfect conditions (largely weather-related) with a very low battery. As that battery charges, it will definitely go down. Also, DCFC is generally used on road trips, which means freeway driving, which means 4 miles per kWH is unlikely.
If I were to drive about 500 miles away (Denver to Lincoln, NE) right now, starting with a full battery and ending at 10%, I'd need to stop 4 times for a total of 3 hours of charging according to A Better Route Planner.
That said, for stuff around town and even trips to Colorado Springs and beyond it's an amazing car. You don't even need to use its full 48A level 2 speeds for it to be awesome, I got by on 1/3 that (16A at 240V) and could still get about 100 miles worth of charge overnight. I'd love to take it on a trip to visit family in Minnesota in summer time too.
I want the Honda E.
Same dude. That dashboard is so cool. I love everything about the Honda E.
No idea if it's actually a good car, but it looks just the right amount of futuristic.
There's one I see often driving around in my area and I really enjoy seeing it every time!
I do too, but it's still too expensive at €36,000.
Awful
well, you know what FIAT stands for right?
Found On Road Dead?

Unlikely if they're under the age of 30 or don't need to get up in the middle of the night to pee.
