I know it sounds ridiculous that the EV-only startup Tesla could sell more vehicles than giants like Ford, Toyota, and Chevrolet as soon as next year with only 6 models, but hear me out. Note that I am speculating this could happen without including any sales of Tesla’s next-generation vehicle, which may be available next […]

A perfect storm for Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV sales has hit, but the sudden spike in sales is putting dealers in the driver’s seat. Some Background Chevy’s Bolt EV and Bolt EUV aren’t the best EVs around. Most EVs charge faster than they do, and many come in rear- and all-wheel drive configurations. […]

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 […]

A couple months ago, I found out that a seemingly pointless On* (the vehicle service formerly known as OnStar) feature can actually be extremely useful. On a trip to the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona (near Portal, AZ), I found myself looking for food. The local café had closed earlier than I thought, and we were […]

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 […]
