Bye bye ICE

[begreen]

The Bolt EUV is a small vehicle, which is great for urban and local driving, but not a great trip car. The Equinox is much bigger than the EV6 and has a slower charging architecture. My wife tried the Equinox and in less than 5 minutes said no way. It feels like a big SUV. That was a deciding factor when we got the EV6. The Equinox is only 2" shorter than the Blazer EV IIRC and 7.3" longer than the EV6. Chevy needs something in between. The salesperson at the Chevy dealership confirmed that this is a popular and currently unfulfilled request.

Bolt EUV = 169.5" long
VW ID 4 = 180.5" "
KIA EV6 = 184.3" "
Ford Mach e = 186"
Chevy Equinox = 191.6"

And for comparison
Model 3 and Model Y = 186”
ID Buzz. 196”
Model X = 198”

Ok I get that there's demand for an inbetween size in the US but the Bolt just doesn't feel that cramped to me. I think it's perfect for other markets that don't have the same American fixation on road tripping. Speaking of which, I think most people would be happier with their cars if they let go of that. Yes, I occasionally need to go on a long trip. Would a larger car be more comfortable? Sure. But the rest of the time, you're burning more kWh to lug around a more expensive, more dangerous, oversized hunk of metal.
