In many ways, the Model 3
In many ways, the Model 3 clearly outperforms the Bolt EV. Speed, range (LR model), and charge speed being just three. But we need to get a wide range of folks buying electric vehicles and some aspects of Tesla's design aren't for everyone. The Model 3 is plenty available now (2-4 weeks delivery), as is the Bolt EV, but they're starting to occupy different price points. My colleague John Goreham wrote yesterday about 2019 Bolts available for ~$20K in ZEV states, after incentives. Model 3 is closer to $30K and MUCH higher if you want the full Tesla experience. There's plenty to love about the Bolt EV and the fact that it's selling steadily as a lower-priced alternative raises the tide for all electric vehicles.
