I realize it's a concept car but I'd be more impressed if they had DCFC instead of a goofy glass roof.
Any argument for/against waiting for the Bolt versus leasing/buying the Spark EV? As in, "I wonder what resale value will be like for an 82 mile car when 200 mile cars come out...?".

The article I saw said DCFC would be there. The pic of the charging port didn't show the DCFC pins, though. Since the Spark has it, I think it's safe to assume the Bolt will as well, at least as an option
This is a concept car. The real thing is about 2 years out, and I'd be shocked if the glass roof was there. It's typical concept-car fluff, along with the interior layout, which will be much more conventional in the real car.
I'm hoping that in the next couple of years the economics work out for them to sell this as more than a limited-numbers compliance car, but even so I'm glad I live where I'll have that option. I'm also hoping it comes out before my current lease ends in late '16.
Affordable "200 mile" car or not, this is EXACTLY why so many people lease BEVs instead of buying them.ezryder said:Any argument for/against waiting for the Bolt versus leasing/buying the Spark EV? As in, "I wonder what resale value will be like for an 82 mile car when 200 mile cars come out...?".
