We are in agreement that Chevy should update the Bolt to be more competitive, but my objections are about the fact that Chevy built a leading edge product 3-4 years ago, and your article glosses over all of the features and value that the Bolt still has, and concentrates on a few features that their competition focused on providing in their brand new BEV models. I'll agree that providing a fast charging network is vital to the future of BEVs, but the actual need to have the ability to have fast charging to 100% for day to day use only affects a tiny minority of owners who drive more than 200 miles a day. For the vast majority of drivers, simply having 200+ miles of EV range already solves any concern of running out of power, and most owners simply charge up every evening, or every few days at home or work. Plus with many DC fast chargers costing $0.35 a minute, you would only want to use those chargers if you couldn't charge at home anyway. OTA updates are cool, but again none of my other cars have ever had that feature before and I have gotten by just fine.
