Tesla Motors versus the other Car Makers and the future of the Car industry

February 25, 2018 February 25, 2018

Should Tesla Motors be the leading or primary car manufacturer?  Or should other car manufacturers step up to take a significant role in electric vehicle development, as Tesla is doing?  Or should even other start-up car manufacturers participate in the undoing of the incumbent car industry?  That’s a set of…

Bolt and other 200 mile BEV’s opens up the world, only if more fast charging exists

January 26, 2016 January 26, 2016

I’m working on a book meant to teach “Range Confidence” as a way to avoid letting Range Anxiety keep us from driving electric cars.  The key knowing the capabilities of your car, the local charging network, the ins-and-outs of selecting between Level 2 and Fast charging, and having a car with fast charging.…

January 9, 2016 January 8, 2016

It’s a bit premature to do this, but can we compare between the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3?  While precise details for these cars haven’t been published, enough is publicly known to draw a few conclusions.  And while we’re at it, we can include some hypothetical information on some other 200+…

GM unveils production 2017 Chevy Bolt at CES – $30k after tax credits, 200 mile range

January 6, 2016 January 6, 2016

At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, General Motors CEO/Chairman Marry Barra unveiled the production version of the 2017 Chevy Bolt, one year after the concept version of the Bolt was unveiled.   Unfortunately they’ve kept this confusing name, which will cause confusion between the Bolt and Volt…

GM turns over Bolt design work to LG Corp while dissing BEV’s in new advert

January 13, 2015 June 18, 2015

Will the public charging networks be ready for the Chevy Bolt and other 200+ mile range electric cars due around 2017?  It’s exciting that GM has unveiled the Chevy Bolt electric concept car.  Assuming they can successfully get it on the market, the 200+ mile range and $30,000 MSRP should…

Chevy Bolt gives GM a chance to beat Tesla in the electric vehicle marketplace

January 12, 2015 March 30, 2015

GM has one-up’d Tesla Motors with the Chevy Bolt concept car unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).  I’ve previously discussed how the lackluster sales of the Chevy Volt, and GM’s nonexistent marketing of the car, makes us question GM’s seriousness for electric vehicles.  The poor planning…
