Gm and the industry at large is really ramping up its commitment to EVs. Gm's Opel brand, sold in Europe, offered a rebadged version of the Volt in the past, but it didn't do well and the company has said that it will not be doing that again. Instead, the brand will likely rebadge the Chevy Bolt. Here is what the Opel Bolt could look like.
This render was made by RM Design and uses bits from both the i3 and the Astra K.
It has been suggested that this Opel model could be called the Trixx as the brand trademarked the name and introduced a Trixx concept back in 2004.
The rendering actually looks better than the Chevy Bolt but if they do Trixx , I hope they don't stick with the 2 door concept. It reminds me of the smart car but slightly larger.
I like the way it looks, slightly better than the Bolt. Maybe it's just the color, but it appears a little more upscale. Though I don't know about the name Trixx. I couldn't take it seriously. I'd have conflicting visions of a lone pole on a stage with Jessica Rabbit dancing and fruity cereal in bowls at the bar usually reserved for peanuts.

Well I am getting QUITE sick and tired of having to go out and playing with a 100ft cord just to plug in my Bolt EV. Snaking a wire down the stairs, out the hall, pinched out two doors and out to my car.
Talked to my landlord about getting at least a NEMA 14-50 put on the side of my...
I've tried to work with ABRP for some time now, just managing to frustrate myself. Is there someplace I can locate instructions on how to use the app?
Thanks,

;)Three days short of three years, I lease returned my 2017 Bolt today. Great three year experience, I'll miss it. High $28,000 residual, new 2020 would have been more reasonable. Will consider a refreshed 2021 Bolt when available. 2019 Model 3 and 2012 Prius Plug In are my current daily drivers.
The best way I can think to describe it is a glitch. Randomly and fairly frequently when I start the vehicle and turn on climate control it will not give enough heating or cooling to reach the set temperature. This is a lot more noticeable in the summer time when I’m requesting cooling. The...
