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.
Always liked the wheels on Opel's but too bad the cost of shippping out a set will cost quite a bit, enough that you'll likely find something just as nice though an aftermarket brand.
Finally moving from the pacific northwest back to sunny Arizona. I will be towing my Bolt behind the moving van on a car trailer. This is my first EV and therefore first time towing one. The total trip should last less than 48 hours. Is it okay to transport fully-charged? Anything to be...
Since the update to Android Auto and the new look, along with an update to my Galaxy S8 phone, I have been having big problems with GPS using Waze and plugging in via USB. I have always plugged in and left the phone in the wireless charger pocket (but do not use wireless charging). Lately the...
Hi all,
Not sure if this info has been posted. This is from a survey by GM that I completed. There are 5 options that look like they're considering to offer on future Bolts. I messed up on capturing the screenshot for 1 of them, so only 4 are posted here. Pretty interesting. The missing one is...
Wife got her Bolt in July, and we got our Juicebox Pro shortly thereafter. Quick charges and indicated range of up to 250 miles seen. (Always 230-240 otherwise).
But 4,000 miles later, car indicates full charge, but indicated range is just 190 miles.
It lives in an attached garage where it...
Getting cold here in the midwest and my Bolt shares my shop area. I really don't like heating the garage/shop with kerosene or LP do to the stink and risk of fire. This might be a dumb idea but has anyone tried to heat an area like this by turning on the Bolt, setting the heat to high and...
