the same dealership has several Bolts in the 5000-6000 range, which gets a longer range (200+) but some of 'em might not have fast-charging so it's a different set of challenges

hmmm

@ssmy That's good to hear!

I sort of figure if I'm sorting by absolute cheapest that's not busted I'd just have to take whatever

but in theory I could shop for one specifically that has CCS and not have to play the "horrifying road trip on purpose" game

(even though it unironically sounds fun)

@ssmy Yeah at minimum the Bolt seemed like it would be way easier.

For segments both can do, I'm almost tempted to say it might be a tossup as to which would be faster but I'm sure I could do the math.

ABRP claims PDX -> RNO is possible in the Spark but there's some pretty wide gaps in socal/AZ you can't do, at least where there's no DCFC

(really even allowing J1772 there's a few dead zones that would be "exciting" in something with under 100mi of range)

@ssmy hahaha yeeeaaahhh

looking forward: it'll be interesting to see if faster AC charging becomes common.

Seems like all the public charger hardware manufs have 20kw hardware now and the thought is that 20kw of AC charging is still cheaper/easier to deploy than, say, 20kw of DC
