2025 Chevrolet Bolt: rumored price, release date, design

Chevrolet It looks like the Bolt isn’t dead after all. Only a few months after Chevrolet announced that it would be killing the Bolt EV, the company reversed course and said that the Bolt will live on. And, finally, we have a few more details about what will likely remain one of the cheapest EVs in its next iteration. That’s not to say it’ll ever be the same again, though. On the contrary, Chevrolet says that it’ll be releasing a new-and-improved second generation of the Bolt that’ll be built on General Motors’…

Ford and GM EV drivers will be able to charge at Superchargers in February

Joel Patel / Digital Trends General Motors and Ford are getting Supercharger access quicker than we thought.

Of course, it’s…

Why Tesla (and other) cars are losing tax credit status

Tesla It looks like Tesla’s federal tax credit status could change pretty significantly in the near future. On the order page for the Tesla Model 3, the company says that “all new Model 3 vehicles currently qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers. $7,500 tax credit will reduce to $3,750 for Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive and Model 3 Long Range on Jan 1, 2024.” That’s not good news for those that might be interested in buying a Tesla in 2024. It gets worse though — only 10 electric cars will qualify for the…
