The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0.

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes.
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes.
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

My Bolt EUV was made here. (I'm pretty sure, anyway.) That said, it was more expensive than $22,000 and is almost certainly not as good.

Probably all made locally. I was surprised the LG batteries were made in Michigan.

I have a soft spot for the Bolt. It has a great name and it helped (PH)EVs gain traction. But, yeah, you can get better cars.

My spot for it is downright squishy, I love the thing for various reasons in its context. I'm sure we could do better, though.
