We all should be happy GM is trying. The hyperbole is understandable to me because these days many press and public representatives are rooting for somebody, anybody, to offer a product competitive with Tesla. OK, the Bolt is not, but it does have the potential to convert a few tens of thousands people who would not consider a Tesla. The range is not applicable to highway speeds, but cars in this class don't spend too much of their lives on high speed long trips.
Of course, Mary Barra is adamant that GM will do nothing to help with charging. By the time very many Bolts are on the road there will be a lot of CCS stations (after all those MB, BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW wehicles will all be CCS. All the Bolt buyer will need to do is make certain to pop for the optional CCS hardware. By the time they're out CCS will be much faster than it is.
