I'm from the Bay Area of California. I currently own a 2012 Plug-in Prius and hope to have a Bolt by early next year to replace the PiP. The PiP will be given to my wife who will use it to replace the Mini Countryman gasser that she currently drives. At that point, we will be driving nothing but EVs or (P)HEVs (we also have a 2016 Highlander Hybrid).
The Bolt is going to be used primarily for commuting for me, which is currently a 100 or so mile roundtrip. We do have workplace charging, but I prefer to not have to rely on charging at work. Also, I have solar on my roof, which makes my electricity costs to charge almost zero, and work charges $1 an hour. The 200+ mile range will easily allow me to get to/from work without having to charge, plus have plenty of range for running errands, etc.
If I start the day with a full charge, I should be able to go anywhere in the larger Bay Area and get home on a single charge.
