2020 Chevy Bolt EV stays the course

Chevrolet's all-electric Bolt hatchback offers impressive range but still looks like a wedge of cheese.

The Chevrolet Bolt is back for another year, but not much has changed.

For 2020 Chevy increased the capacity of the lithium-ion battery to 66 kWh, giving the Bolt 21 more miles of range.

Charging times remain largely the same: 10 hours on a Level 2 home charger or 100 miles in 30 minutes with the optional fast-charging capabilities.

The silhouette of the Bolt remains the same, as does the electric powerplant.

It still pushes out 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque.

Automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, forward-collision alert and front pedestrian braking are all part of an optional package.

However, adaptive cruise control is not on tap and blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert with rear park assist are standard only on the top Premier trim.

Navigation is not offered in the Chevrolet Bolt, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both here.

Infotainment is housed on a 10.2-inch color screen and while the graphics and interface are crisp and clean the response times are really laggy.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
