BOLT EUV AND BOLT REFRESH, JAGUAR GOES ALL ELECTRIC AND TESLA CUTS PRICES

EV Channels Review

The Inside EVs podcast episode of February 19th, 2021, covers significant updates in the EV market. The Chevrolet Bolt EV receives a refresh, and the new Bolt EUV is introduced. Both models see substantial price reductions, making them more accessible, especially with potential federal tax credits. While the EUV offers slightly more rear legroom and some standard features, the two models are remarkably similar, with the EUV having marginally less cargo space. A key criticism remains the Bolt's slow DC fast charging rate (55 kW), which is deemed unacceptable for road trips despite improvements in Level 2 charging and an offer to cover standard Level 2 installation costs. The podcast also touches on Jaguar's commitment to going all-electric by 2025, the surprising cancellation of the electric XJ sedan, and Tesla's price adjustments for the Model 3 and Model Y, making the Model Y a more compelling value proposition against the Model 3.
