Like many other people, I bought a Bolt EUV last year after prices dropped. These price drops were temporary for the 2020-22 model year, but were made permanent for 2023. Then, on top of the price drops, the Bolt Brothers (EV and EUV) ended up being eligible for some pretty hefty tax incentives for the […]

GM (Or is it the gentler, kinder lowercase “gm” now?) recently announced several good things for its EV efforts. Bolt EV and EUV sales are going good, Brightdrop (its electric cargo van division) scored some important partnerships, and among them is a really good deal it struck with Ryder. Let’s take a good look at […]

Rightsizing your vehicle to daily needs makes a lot of sense. If you’re driving a big truck around every day to work, and nobody else or their belongings ride with you, you’re throwing money away day in and day out. So, it makes sense to move to something that actually makes sense on a daily […]

A few months ago, I decided I wanted to make it a point to go out on more electric-powered adventures. Before that, one of the things holding me back was my 2018 Nissan LEAF. While the range was limited, a long trip I took showed me that it was a rather painful experience (sometimes literally). […]

Now that I’ve explained why I decided to upgrade my Bolt EUV’s tires, let’s get into why I chose the Michelin Defender LTX M/S, and then I’ll get into whether that worked out. Why The Defender LTX M/S? This will sound silly at first, but I’m a big fan of Discount Tire. Yes, the place […]

Some of you are probably wondering how I got here, writing about how truck tires worked out on a budget electric crossover like the Bolt EUV. So, let’s play Baba O’Riley in our heads (or, play it for real on YouTube) while I explain all this. Why Put Truck Tires On A Crossover EV? The […]

This article is part of a multi-part series. You can find Part 1 here. Let’s make one thing clear from the beginning: The Bolt EUV is not an off-road machine. Not only does it lack serious ground clearance, 4-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and skid plates, but it’s also a unibody (even if it’s a very […]

This article is part of a multi-part series. You can find Part 1 here. It’s one thing to take a road trip, but just like any vehicle, you lose a lot of range with speed in an EV. Texas highways are already tough, with speed limits of 80 in the western rural parts of the […]

This article is part of a multi-part series. You can find Part 1 here. In Part 1, I covered home charging installation, which went well despite me requesting something unusual. Now, I’m going to cover the other side of the charging coin by telling the tale of a road trip across Texas, which mostly relied […]

About a month ago, I shared my experiences from the first month of ownership of my Bolt EUV. I thought I had given it a pretty good test, but I managed to test several important aspects of Bolt EUV ownership to much greater extremes since then. Most people wouldn’t do all of the things I’ve […]
