Reviews SummaryAs the dissonant chords of Dieselgate still resonate throughout the industry, most car companies have abandoned efforts toward any future diesel-powered cars. A $15 billion fine will have that sort of chilling effect. But Chevrolet has taken a different approach, instead seeing the mass retreat from diesel as an opportunity to fill a void. As the driver Jean-Pierre Sarti said in Frankenheimer’s 1966 epic “Grand Prix”: “When I see something really horrible, I put my foot down. Hard! Because I know that everyone else is lifting his.” | |
Reviews SummaryWhen it was originally unveiled with a 238-mile range, the Chevrolet Bolt EV eliminated most would-be EV owners' greatest concern: range anxiety. So how has Chevrolet improved its electric car? Well, some extendable sun visors to help with heat and a programmable heated steering wheel to combat cold are a good start. | |
