I like the Bolt, but I still think it mainly only works for wealthy people with multiple cars or live in a large city, with easy ability to use public transit. The range is fine most of the time, but you definitely have to have a charger at your house (if you rent, as I do, too bad). A long road trip would be maddening. Or impossible. And it's just too expensive for a small car that can't quite do everything.

The top speed doesn't surprise me. Most electric cars have a low top speed, probably because of the single speed transmission. Even the original Tesla could only do 120, and it would wipe the floor with just about any supercar off the line.
