GM also knows that the slow charging is the biggest weakness for Bolts. With a maximum of 55 kW charging speed that starts to slow down before 50%, it can take 45-50 minutes to get enough charge to get to the next stop on western interstates.

So, yes, there is indeed huge demand for an efficient, small pickup truck. And, nobody’s currently offering anything like that as an EV.In many ways, the Bolt platform is the perfect place to start to produce a small, low cost electric pickup. The company is already putting in big money to make the new Bolt even cheaper to build than the current one while offering better charging speeds, and we know that the platform is adaptable .
