Bolt Became a Hit and Torque News Predicted It
I was reading this story by John Goreham from Torque News who a year ago predicted which EVs would be the hit in 2017. He predicted that Chevy Bolt would be a hit and it became a hit.
Full details and reference at Follow Up: Our Electric Vehicle Sales Predictions For 2017 - How'd We Do?
I predicted it would be a hit, and it was, but my enthusiasm exceeded my logic. I predicted 38,241 Bolt sales in 2017. Based on sales through November and adding in 3,000 more for December, it looks like the Bolt will be neck and neck with the Model S for top-selling EV overall in the U.S. and come in at about 23,000 units. I guess even a "paid shill for big oil" can get carried away with EV predictions once in a while.
