    📰 Auto News New Chevy Bolt - Still with 250 mile Range?

    I don't get it. I guess they want to market it as an urban daily driver with no chance of any long range trips. They were able to lower the cost by over $5k compared to the old Bolt and didn't put it into batteries and range. It's no better than a Nissan Leaf now. And why are they so focused...

    📰 Auto News GM to go all electric by 2035.

    I was surprised this hasn't been posted sooner, its been all over the internet today. I have no idea where they think they are getting their battery supply from or where people will charge.

    Can't believe dealers are still playing games
