The car has DC fast charging that allows you to add 100 miles in 30 minutes. The variant with this device will cost $ 750 more.
The Chevrolet Bolt has a roomy modern interior and a large luggage compartment. The seat upholstery is quite thin - critics and experts say the creators could have used thicker cushions.
Standard features include niceties such as a 10.2-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot, dual USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio and GM's Teen Driver security system.
U.S. Information Portal News & World Report, which regularly publishes rankings across industries, has given the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt a high rating based on a rating in the Hybrid and Electric Vehicles category. Chevrolet Bolt currently has 7.8 points out of 10.

3.2020 Tesla Model X - roomy "winged" crossover
The Tesla Model X is similar in size and cost to the Model S, but it's bigger, more spacious, and has some of the craziest doors you'll find on a production car. "Falcon's Wings" soar up, as in the most fantastic blockbusters.
With an upgrade similar to the Model S, the Tesla X gained the ability to reach 328 miles on a single charge. In other vehicles of this model range speed results distributed as follows:
- Tesla Model X Standard Range: 258 miles.
- Tesla Model X Performance: 305 miles
- Tesla Model X Long Range: 328 miles.

The Model X will come in two trims: Long Range at $ 86,190 and Performance at $ 106,190.

There are two Model X modifications on offer, each with over 300 miles of range, and each is impressively fast thanks to its twin inboard electric motors.
The Model X also does a great job of being a heavy SUV in part due to the fact that its batteries are installed in the floor, creating a low center of gravity.
The cabin is chic and tech-rich, but lacking in sheer luxury. Model X has a rich list of features, including 17-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, air filtration, 17-speaker stereo, navigation, voice command activation, leatherette upholstery, heated seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic windshield, integrated dashboard and Sentry Mode security system that records events on multiple cameras around the vehicle.

Past and future collide in the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. It is designed and named after the legendary pony car. The name also refers to "Mach 1" - the name used on older, powerful Mustangs.
With the Mustang EV, Ford is challenging and competing with Tesla in the knowledge that a new era of electric vehicles has arrived.
