Bolt is a PITA to charge...
Well, the most important issue with the Bolt is that it takes forever to charge. It is impractical to take it on a road trip. Who wants a car that can only travel 235 when there is no charging network? And style, who wants a Bolt when you can drive a Tesla Model 3? The base price of a Model 3 will be comparable to the BMW 3 Series (which 2016 sales were down 25% in 2016! as consumers wait for the M3), Mercedes C Class and the Audi 4 and fuel is 1/3 the cost with a drivetrain that will last exponentially longer. I think this is a huge game changer which is what the stock market is telling us. Ford and GM's stock price has been going down for 4 years while car sales have been in record territory the last few years. A disruptive change is going to come whether you personally will welcome the change.
