I think a lot of people will seriously consider this car as their first EV. An AWD option would be nice, but I don't know if that makes sense for this model.

I think at a $26,000 price point, all wheel drive is not necessary. That's what the Blazer and equinox are for.

I've been driving a bolt since 2020, and it was snow tires it's a beast in the snow and ice. Sure, not as good as all-wheel drive with snow tires, but still very good.

The bolt is like the ultimate econo box car. Too many features will raise the price too much.
