Automotive

Spy shots of the Chevy Bolt have been released, which is a big deal since this will be GM’s first high-range electric car. Capable of traveling 200 miles, the Bolt will start at around $30K after incentives. Is this the viable EV that American motorists would actually buy in droves?
Gear

Lifestyle
