General Motors’ Chevrolet brand has shown its Bolt EV concept at the Detroit Show. Chevrolet claims the Bolt sets out a vision for an affordable, long-range all-electric vehicle designed to offer more than 200 miles of range and a price starting around USD30,000.
“The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity,” said General Motors CEO Mary Barra. “Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers.”
