Chevy Volt EV concept aiming for an affordable electric future

Electric vehicles are cool and make sense for cleaner, more efficient commuting but they're priced out of reach for most users. The high-tech models from Tesla and the latest BMW i cars promise an amazing future but cost upwards of $45,000.00. Chevy's Volt EV concept is a full-sized compact car that's aiming at a more 'affordable' entry-level price of $30,000.00 for a vehicle with a 200 mile range.

“The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity,” said General Motors CEO Mary Barra. “Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers.” No word on when this concept will go into active production but if anyone can pull this off, Chevy seems to have what it takes to make it happen.
