IN CASE YOU haven't heard the news, the electric Chevrolet Bolt - with its official 235-mile range (or more, as I ran up 267 miles) - is great. In fact, it makes the best case yet for Americans to own an EV, starting with double the battery range of most its antecedents. The price - $37,495 before options and a $7,500 tax credit - is stiffer than we'd like but a hell of a lot cheaper than a Tesla and not beyond the means of most early-intender-type buyers. The cost is also likely to fall in years ahead with greater volume and advances in battery manufacturing.
