GM Says It Will Begin Building Long-Range Bolt Electric Vehicle General Motors confirmed Thursday it will launch production of the Bolt battery-electric vehicle that it says will deliver around 200 miles per charge, double the performance of most other battery-electric autos. First shown during the Detroit Auto Show last month, the hatchback was designed to overcome what industry planners see as two of the biggest obstacles to wider acceptance of battery technology: limited range and a high price tag. After factoring in federal tax incentives, the Chevrolet Bolt should cost around $30,000, Alan Batey, president of North American operations at General Motors, said during a speech at the Chicago Auto Show on Thursday. Battery-based vehicles - including hybrids, plug-ins and pure battery-electric models like Bolt - have seen sales slide in recent months as gas prices tumbled. Batey remained upbeat about the opportunities for selling Bolt even if gas stays well below its $4 peak, noting that saving money on gas "isn't the only reason people buy (battery-based) vehicles." Batey said the Bolt will go into production at an underutilized small car plant in the Detroit suburbs. He wouldn't give a precise target date but TheDetroitBureau.com has reported that manufacturing is likely to start in autumn 2016, and that Chevy hopes to reach sales of somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 of the battery-cars annually. The launch of the Bolt will put General Motors directly up against Silicon Valley battery-car maker Tesla Motors, which recently announced plans for a $35,000 electric vehicle delivering similar range. But already two years behind on the launch of its Model X SUV, Tesla has not set a hard date for the launch of its more mainstream battery-car. nbcnews.com

Now FO.... Oooohh! Let me stop my trembling. That's another big mean word from a sisiified liberal wuss with zero reading comprehension.................after telling me not to be a d*ick like him. Message 29939301 You have some growing up to do sonny. Nobody is impressed with your filthy talk, nor does it mean much to adults. Maybe you should return to the Yahoo thread where little girls (or boys) are impressed by such stupid teenager bragging. You are still talking about something that was NOT in the original post. DUH DUH DUH Being wrong and stupid is a real hangup for you, I see.
