Grex Cars Item 143: Ballmobile V
Entered by ball on Mon Apr 18 04:47:28 UTC 2022:

    It's time to look for a replacement for the Honda CRV
that Mrs. ball drives.  It's larger than my sedan but still
oddly cramped, especially when driving long distances.  She
wants something larger.

    Electric vehicles are still far too expensive.  Are G.M.
the only company building cars and trucks that tolerate E85?
I may be finally ready to consider a Chevrolet, though I
hear discouraging things about how they handled the Bolt
battery recall.

Any other vehicles or brands that I should be looking at?

My Ford F350 will tolerate E85.

    I was a bit surprised to learn that GM are using turbo-
charged 3-cylinder engines in their cars and "smaller SUVs".

I like the Chevy Bolt.  You'd be surprised how roomy it is.
And the price isn't bad at all.

    I'd like the Chevy Bolt more if the batteries didn't
catch fire. :-o

They've limited the charge to 70%.  Problem (and quality) solved!
