minus-squareVodulas [they/them]@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI hope they release an updated Bolt with a little faster charging. It is great as a city car, but for folks that want to do longer trips 50kw is a little rough.
minus-squareKit@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI haven’t had any issues with taking it on roadtrips. After 5 hours of driving, it’s nice to stop for an hour to stretch while it charges.
minus-squareVodulas [they/them]@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoFair. I’ve done road trips in a car that charges at 120kw and that seemed about as long as I would want to wait (about 30 minutes if it is super low). The breaks are for sure nice though. I’m always surprised how less tired I am in long trips thanks to the charging breaks.
