Bolt isn't a compliance car, though. It is scheduled for nation-wide availability by September, and has a 238-mile range. And it has CCS quick charging. Tesla's network of chargers is all well and good, but CCS stations are expanding nationwide as well.

I agree, the Model 3 is great: all the fancy Tesla gizmos like autopilot and touchscreen consoles, plus the free charging network. But just because a car isn't a Tesla, doesn't make it a "compliance car". And since 99% of EV charging is done at home from a Lvl 1 or Lvl 2 charger, the fast charging network isn't as big a deal as the advertisements make it out to be. Personally, I'd rather just drive an Elio for those long road trips :)

Sorry, but the Tesla model 3s do NOT get free charging :(

They don't?? What are all the Tesla charge stations that are going up then?
I thought they were proprietary stations just for Tesla's? Why is it then that Tesla charge stations only hook up to Tesla's then?
Or do they hook up to any electric car that's out there?

The Tesla superchargers are only for Tesla products,as it should be since they spent the capital to install them. You can always charge at the nationwide General Motors charging network.

So why do I drive 10,000 miles per car per year? :confused: I usually drive 40,000 miles per year and many of our members drive twice that. So, 400kwh is just not going to do it for most of us.:rolleyes::confused:
