Now it's too bad about the pissing match over the fast charger spec. VHS versus Beta on an Infrastructure scale.

Yeah, I like spritely EVs, but battery mass makes range. That'll yield a smoother ride than all other compact cars and appeal to the soccer moms that are accustomed to driving tanks around.
One of those I know finally abandoned her Suburban for a Prius V. She now has religion about fuel economy, and remarked that the ride isn't too bad either!

You guys really think 3,600 is a heavy car? All of the weight is below the axle height! That car will corner flat like nothing short of an active suspension car. And 7.0 seconds 0-60 mph will beat most SUV's and commuter cars.

GM will sell the Bolt in Europe under its Opel brand as the Ampera-e.
So the name Ampera reappears, as it was used before for the Opel version of the first gen Chevy Volt.
The Ampera-e will be more in line with European preferences, the strictly 4-seater sedan lay-out of the Volt/first Ampera hurt sales over here.
It will have the same specs as the Bolt and its price is said to be 'attainable'.
