Chevrolet Bolt : Electric car of the future


Chevrolet unveiled its latest electric concept car at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The car, a high-roofed hatch, promises "more than" 200 miles on a charge at a price around $30,000 which is not far from what Tesla is looking to go after with its upcoming Model 3. It supports DC fast charging, though GM doesn't say exactly how long it would take to fill it from empty.

A 10-inch touchscreen is the centerpiece of the dashboard. It is bigger than many of today's interior screens and leads up a list of high-tech features, including the ability to use a smartphone as your key, integrated ride-sharing management, and self-parking capability.
