TWC Podcast #116: The Bolt Will Rise Again
By The Watt Car Staff — April 27, 2023
The Chevy Bolt will meet its final demise at the end of the year, so we take a look at just how important the model was to General Motor, the public, and possibly even Ford — you’ll need to listen to the podcast to find out how we reach that conclusion. Speaking of Ford, we talk about the F-150 Lightning shipping to Norway and a magazine’s test of Winnebago’s Ford e-Transit-based eRV2. We also chew on an EV-related bill in California, Lucid’s Gravity taking to the road, Kia’s swivel seats not making it to U.S. shores, and much more!
