特斯拉Model 3所面临的竞争车型之一是雪佛兰Bolt。最近雪佛兰公布了Bolt的续航里程为238英里(约合383公里)。超过了Model 3的215英里(约合346公里)。这是美国环保署(EPA)最近测得的数据,雪佛兰当地时间13日进行了公布,该车将于今年晚些时候在美国上市。而且该车续航里程几乎是 Spark电动车的三倍,后者续航里程为82英里(约合132公里),该车搭载一台19千瓦时电池组。不过,考虑到Bolt电动车搭载的是60千瓦电池组,取得这样的续航里程也不奇怪。雪佛兰新的网站ChevyEVlife已经开始宣传旗下的三款车型,包括沃蓝达插电混动车,迈瑞宝混动车和Bolt电动车。虽然车厂还未宣布其价格,但预计将低于37500美元。
Chevy Bolt EV comes cruising with 238 miles of range
The impending release of the Tesla Model 3 in 2017 or so garnered huge headlines earlier this year for three reasons: it will cost $35,000 before incentives, it has 215 miles of range, and it's a Tesla. One of the challenges the Model 3 faces is that it will be beat to market by the Chevy Bolt EV. We just learned that the Bolt will trounce the Model 3 in at least one other aspect: the Chevy's official range will be 238 miles.
That's according to the expected EPA numbers that Chevy released today, ahead of the car's availability at dealers in late 2016. What's perhaps most impressive is that 238 miles is almost three times the range of GM's previous all-electric vehicle, the Chevy Spark EV. That little car could only go 82 miles on a single charge of its 19-kWh battery pack. The tripling isn't a huge surprise, given the Bolt EV's 60-kWh pack.
Chevy is promoting the new Bolt EV – along with the Volt plug-in hybrid and the Malibu Hybrid – over at the brand's new website, ChevyEVlife. Chevy hasn't announced the price of the Bolt EV yet, but says that it is expected to be "below $37,500." So, which one is most tempting to you at this point?
