Forget about six-figure super-sedan battles on fancy German racing circuits - it's all a sideshow to what really matters in the electric vehicle realm: range and cost. The world doesn't electrify in the manner envisioned by our most revered environmentalists without affordability and the ability...

The future is electric, says GM, so why bother with a stopgap? That's according to Mark Reuss, who recently spoke to the Wall Street Journal. Reuss argues that electric vehicles are a richer area of investment than hybrids in the interview, suggesting that GM will instead focus on pure EVs...

General Motors has confirmed it will reach the threshold for the U.S. federal electric car tax credit this year. By the end of 2018, GM told Green Car Reports on Wednesday it will sell its 200,000th qualifying vehicle, which will trigger the tax credit's sunset period. Come April...

The future is already here, it's often been said; we just don't realize it yet. How's this for the future: an inconspicuous little one-box hatchback that can parallel-park with the best of urban hoppers, cram all the antique furniture and Meow Mix as necessitated by a sane person, then launch...

As part of its penance for pumping untold amounts of smog-causing pollutants into America's air over the span of roughly six years, Volkswagen paid a steep price. Yes, there was the financial cost of the diesel scandal - a price tag topping $20 billion, covering fines, buybacks, repairs, etc...

If you're shopping for an electric vehicle and want more than 200 miles of range, you pretty much only have two options right now: the Chevy Bolt or a Tesla. That might explain why they're the two best-selling EVs on the market right now and the only two at risk of slipping over the 200,000...

Remember the Enspire? It's looking increasingly likely that GM will use a version of the Bolt's chassis to form the basis of that, and another CUV in the near future. A slide from a presentation uncovered by GM Authority plainly shows that in November 2017 GM was planning for "New CUV entries...

As promised by General Motors CEO Mary Barra in March, GM plans to crank out additional Chevrolet Bolts at its Orion Assembly Plant in Michigan later this year. The need for extra output isn't because of rising sales in the United States, however. In GM's second-quarter 2018 sales report, the...

GM is on a "Customer Satisfaction Campaign," asking Bolt owners to bring in their cars for a software update to help detect a battery issue sooner. The problem stems from a potential battery issue that has been linked to a reduction of power or loss of acceleration. The update would help the...

The autonomous Bolts GM's self-driving start-up has running around San Francisco have been involved in 22 accidents during 2017-- none of which were the software's fault, legally that is. Cruise Automation has been using a fleet of self-driving Chevrolet Bolts to log autonomous miles in an...

Depending on who you talked to, the looming removal of the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles was either no big deal, or akin to the firebombing of Mother Earth. Much disagreement existed even among the ranks of environmentalists and EV proponents. Well, worry no more, EV fans. You...

August 2017 marked the second consecutive month in which the Chevrolet Bolt, GM's all-electric hatchback, generated more U.S. sales than the Chevrolet Volt, GM's range-extended electric liftback. Now available across America, the Chevrolet Bolt produced its best sales month to date in August...

General Motors is taking the slow and steady approach when it comes to sales of the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt, which might be the right path for a highly complex new car. Reviews show it to be a well-composed vehicle with decent fit and finish but, like any new car, there are some teething...

It was my shooter, Myle, who picked up the Chevrolet Bolt press car we had for the week. I was too busy getting my ass massaged in a Lincoln Continental in the meantime. Besides, Myle owns a house, and I live in a crummy apartment, so it made more sense for him to park his all-electric Bolt EV...

The Chevrolet Bolt just became the first all-electric vehicle to earn a Top Safety Pick under the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety's 2017 rules. In order to earn aTop Safety Pick rating from the Institute, a vehicle must produce good ratings across all five crashworthiness tests--small...

A dedicated evangelical in California has just stretched his Chevrolet Bolt out to 300+ miles on a single charge. Beating the EPA's 238-mile estimate was no easy task. Spread out over 100 freeway, 200 city miles Glenn Williams achieved this astonishing figure in near perfect conditions, while...

The 82-mile, all-electric Chevrolet Spark EV died a quiet death in the summer of 2016, and no one cares. After three years on the market in California, Oregon and Maryland, the Spark EV's death was precipitated by the incoming of Chevy's latest-and-greatest, the 238-mile Bolt EV in December of...
