But buyers will have to accept less range to get the crossover styling.
At $31,995, the Chevrolet Bolt EV is one of the least expensive electric vehicles on sale today. Some buyers need more space though, which is why the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV joins the bolt family with pseudo-SUV practicality. This larger Bolt variant costs a bit more ($33,995), but adds a higher ride height, more passenger space, increased cargo volume, more rugged styling, and an available panoramic roof. A drawback of having a bit more space, the Bolt EUV yields a shorter driving range than its Bolt EV counterpart.
Chevrolet only provided rough range estimates at launch, but the official EPA figures are now available. As with last year s model, the 2022 Bolt EV travels 259 miles on a charge with a combined 120 MPGe rating. The Bolt EUV officially rings in with a 247-mile driving range and 115 MPGe combined.
But he s already done it again.
Remember the moronic Tesla Model 3 owner who was spotted driving around the Bay Area in the back seat a few days ago? Well, as we predicted, it didn t take long for him to be identified. The 25-year old man was identified as Param Sharma, who is also known as Lavish P on social media, and was arrested by the California Highway Patrol.
In a statement, the CHPD said Sharma was arrested for two counts of reckless driving in the Model 3 and for disobeying a police officer. He spent one night in a jail cell, but despite getting in trouble with the law, he didn t learn his lesson and is already driving in the back seat again.
The largest fuel supplier to the East Coast has been shut down for several days.
The Colonial Pipeline, a crucial fuel supplier for New York, has been forced to shut down for several days after a ransomware attack crippled its IT systems, Autoblog reports.
This might make 2021 the worst year ever to own a gas-guzzler: sorry Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Ford Mustang GT, and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray owners. First there was a shortage of tanker drivers, causing gas shortages across America this summer to ruin your vacation. Now, this cyberattack on the Colonial is causing fuel shortages across the eastern seaboard.
Soon, an EV will be the only sensible vehicle choice.
While the demise of internal combustion engines isn t here yet, it s not as far away as many traditionalists would like. Electric vehicles have made huge strides in recent years; Audi just built the 100,000th example of its popular e-tron SUV and it s predicted that EV sales will overtake diesels imminently.
For many consumers, the higher upfront price of an EV remains a barrier to switching over but new research suggests that this will change in the next few years. In fact, EVs are expected to be less expensive to make than fossil fuel cars by the year 2027.
Welcome to Texas.
The Ford F-150 is popular everywhere in America, but especially in Texas. What s also popular in the Lone Star State are guns. So it d make sense to combine them for the so-called complete package. Thing is, firearms sales without a license is extremely illegal, but that didn t stop two Ford dealership employees from trying.
According to
Automotive News, the two men, Craig Tondre, formerly a sales manager at Covert Ford Hutto, and dealer employee Joshua Ellard, were arrested last month and charged with dealing firearms without a license. Ellard had previously been convicted in Florida of second-degree murder.
