I bought a 2013 used and it's been a great car all around. I'm hoping like the Bolt EV GM would consider making a Volt EV with over 200 miles or more in range.

I'm not so optimistic. With a purely Republican government, we could see the reduction of removal of CAFE regulations, which would essentially halt development of new EVs.There will soon be quite a few BEVs on the market to choose from. I hope Chevy continues to offer a good EREV with 50+ miles of AER. Those are more rare and I don't see many new ones on the horizon.
oh, if only this were real, it would be parked in my garage
I want a Volt EV though. Not too sure with the Tesla Model 3 and how it's driven though. I'm not a fan of the Tablet display since I'm more into a traditional interior Gears. The Nissan Electric looks promising but at 100 miles it's still not enough compared to the Bolt EV and M3 unless they give it a 60kW battery.They did, it's called the BoltI bought a 2013 used and it's been a great car all around.

Maybe not the Jolt EV, but hopefully GM has some surprises in store for NAIAS in Jan! Like the Bolt concept 2 years ago.oh, if only this were real, it would be parked in my garage
Topic is about a fully electric Volt with no need for an extended range at least 200 miles of range. Sorry if I wasn't clear in making this thread. I just don't like the Bolt EV design and Tesla's giant tablet interior. Hopefully future Volts will have an all EV option or a small sporty sedan design.Anything approaching 200 miles EV range suggests to me that there is no need for the ICE range extender. It's a lot of weight and complex systems to support it (fuel, exhaust, etc.) that become a liability for the vast majority of your driving needs. There may be a sweet spot somewhere around 100-125 miles that might make sense, but 200 miles is probably way more than necessary.
VIN # B0985
Small sedans are going bye-bye world wide. The new hot car is a CUV. That new Volvo concept looks good.Hopefully future Volts will have an all EV option or a small sporty sedan design.
There probably eventually be other 200+mile EVs from GM, but I doubt it will be an optional version of the Volt.Topic is about a fully electric Volt with no need for an extended range at least 200 miles of range.

Maybe I misunderstood. Truth be told, even though I really like my Volt, it is too small to satisfy me completely and I feel many potential customers feel the same way. I see a LOT of CUVs on the road, Bolt sized and slightly larger so there is a market there. Pure EVs need to be designed to satisfy a large enough market of customers to ultimately be successful. In my mind small compact cars don't define a desirable market for high volume success.Topic is about a fully electric Volt with no need for an extended range at least 200 miles of range.

Sign me up for a Subyukonade with 200 miles of EV range!!!@Loboc I'm hoping that future GM electric vehicles comes in different sizes and the compact Volt could be second to the Bolt EV. The Bolt EV midsized is practical but the Volt Compact size and style could attract more people that are willing to go EV without the "Egg Air Resistance" shape.
Not for a while. At least not the small part anyway.Small sedans are going bye-bye world wide.
