Chevy Bolt 2.0 Will Be In Dealer Showrooms Soon - CleanTechnica

The Chevy Bolt 2.0 is arriving in dealer showrooms, with some already in stock. It features a 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack supplied by CATL, offering an EPA-estimated range of 262 miles—slightly higher than initially projected, though not yet officially rated by the EPA.
