Chevrolet Bolt
This could be the vehicle that sways the masses to embrace electric vehicles, should it be built. It significantly improves the range that the car can drive on a fully charged battery, to 200 miles. That’s crucial for overcoming so-called "range anxiety" among potential buyers — the fear of getting stranded should the battery die. Since many consumers have a commute length in the 80 to 90 mile range, this would assuage those who want to make sure their car has enough juice to get them to and from work each day. The interior seats four and the rounded design is appealing, resembling the Honda FIT and Ford Fiesta — far superior to the Volt. What's more, the Bolt would retail for around $30,000, the sweet spot for buyers. If it's built soon, Chevy’s EV could pose a big threat to Tesla Motors' Model III, due to hit the market in 2017.
