Cheating at the wheel with the all-electric Bolt

It's clear why this 2017 model, in spite of being the first year out, won Car of the Year. Everything works perfectly and does exactly what it's supposed to do. It has changed my whole view of driving. While I only need to charge the car once every two weeks, I didn't even need to install a home charger; there's one at my office - and its use is FREE. I feel like I'm cheating: the car has a bumper to bumper six-year warranty (eight on the batteries) and its electricity is free. It's a super-weird feeling when I now pass gas stations; they look like relics from an earlier century and all the cars around me appear to me as environmental gluttons. I have only had the car for ten days so maybe it will fall apart (it's an American car, after all), but it has been a joy to ride so far. For me, what locked in the sale is that my mountain bike (I' obsessed) fits into the back when the rear seats are folded. Spatially, the car is absolutely fabulously thought out. My sons and I are all over six feet tall and we all fit into the car very comfortably. I got both additional packages of extras, including the fast-charge module. My only criticism of the car so far is that the cup holders in the front are too narrow for my Thermos. And between state and federal tax incentives the car was about $10,000 cheaper than the sale price (which I had bargained down on Black Friday!) Highly recommended.

I've only had this car for 45 days, but I love it. My main purpose in buying this was for environmental purposes. I feel great every time I drive this. We've got solar panels as well, so we're driving on sunshine. The car has allowed us to reach our goal of no fuel being used, but has also provided some other perks. For a small efficient car, it has remarkably good pickup. It has great acceleration which makes it fun to drive. It also handles very well. It also handles pretty well with fairly tight steering. I've previously owned a Porsche Boxter...and this is no Boxter for sure. But we recently owned a CR-V and a Prius, and this car definitely has more acceleration and better steering than either of these. The range is very good so far. My wife drives 100 miles round trip and it's all freeway. At 75 mph, this is taking up an estimated 55% of the battery per trip. However, if we drive locally, I'd roughly estimate we could get close to 275 miles on a charge. Now this is without using the AC, and I'm a careful driver to maximize the battery life, so keep that in mind. The $7500 federal rebate will really help with the price. Very happy with this purchase.
