Reviews SummaryElectric vehicles are the future. Even racing and off-road enthusiast have accepted this reality with the knowledge that EVs can be fun and engaging. We’ll lose the smell and the sounds, but one of the key purposes of racing is to improve the breed, so why not welcome the transition to electric propulsion? The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV could not be further from an enthusiast vehicle, but it’s just as important—if not more so—to the auto industry. Introduced for the 2017 model year and updated for 2022, the Bolt EV is the tip of GM’s EV spear. More EVs are coming, but it all starts here. For 2020, the Bolt EV's range was increased to 259 miles. That carries over to 2022, and the Bolt EV gets standard DC fast charging as well, making it a more realistic option for more car shoppers. But is it enough to get you to make the leap to EV? | |
Reviews SummaryWith the 2021 Prius Prime, Toyota does what Toyota does best—packaging. The car comes with a good list of standard equipment and features while maintaining the range and efficiency qualities that plug-in hybrid shoppers are looking for. But a hard-to-use infotainment system and slow acceleration eat into the ownership experience as the market gets increasingly more competitive. | |
