Chevrolet Bolt EV
True to its word, Chevrolet is marketing its first-ever fully electric car this year. Among the most interesting features of this five-door subcompact is its 200-horsepower electric motor and promised 383-km operating range. Built in the United States, this car has an eight-year or 160,000-km warranty for the battery, and the fact that it's available for immediate purchase should interest a great deal of drivers—especially those who were sceptical of the viability of all-electric cars.
