Bill Nye, a long-time electric car advocate, recently picked up his “Kinetic Blue” Chevy Bolt EV and agrees with us – the Chevy Bolt is a game changer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview<\/a> with Green Car Reports’ John Voelcker, Nye lauded the Bolt as “head and shoulders above the rest” of the electric car field.<\/p>\n

Nye, currently the CEO of the Planetary Society<\/a>, strongly believes in the electrification of the automobile and sees the Bolt as a major milestone towards an all-electric future. \u00a0In his Green Car Reports interview, Nye emphasized the importance of test-driving an electric car to see the benefits of going electric. \u00a0These include smooth, quick acceleration, regenerative braking, quiet road noise, excellent handling, and now – with the introduction of the Bolt – long range (238 EPA-rated miles<\/a>) at an affordable price ($37,495 before incentives<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Nye joins more than 1,700 Bolt EV drivers currently on the road in just the first two months of availability. \u00a0In January, the Bolt became the third highest selling plug-in vehicle for that month<\/a> at 1,162 cars, behind the new Prius Prime (1,366 units) and its Chevy stablemate, the venerable Volt (1,611 units); however, both of these are plug-in hybrids, while the Bolt is all-electric.<\/p>\n

For Bill Nye, there is no going back. \u00a0Electric cars are the future.<\/p>\n

As of February, the Chevy Bolt EV is currently available only in California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Virginia with a progressive fifty-state roll out<\/a> to be completed by September of this year.<\/p>\n
