Hi folks,

Just found this community and curious about what everyone is either using as a daily driver or have got their eyes on in the EV space.

I'm from Vancouver, and a few years ago my partner and I bought a new Chevrolet Volt PHEV as a "bridge" car to get us through the next while as charging infrastructure scales out. We get about 100km of electric range in the warmer times and 70km in the winter. Perfect for our needs around Vancouver, while still giving us flexibility to drive out to Whistler or Banff for our vacation roadtrips.

So what are you driving?

Wow. I hadn't heard the bolt was being discontinued. I know they have a number of other EVs on the roadmap, but I don't know if any will hit the Bolt pricepoint

They’ve moved to the Ultium platform and are discontinuing the Bolt lineup I think until they get their new EVs out. The battery tech they are about to add apparently saves them close to 40% in production costs. I have a feeling the bolt will be back down the road.
