The Chevy Bolt recently got a flashy new wrap! Thanks to Tri-State Generation & Transmission and Sign Guys for bringing our design to life! Come take the Bolt for a demo drive with one of our employees!
JASON LAKEY (Leaf) - It felt similar to our Prius. It was intuitive and easy to drive. I love the idea of an electric car. However, the Leaf is impractical for our family at the moment since it is not capable of leaving the valley without significant inconveniences. If one of us was a commuter to and from CB everyday it would be a bit more realistic. I know there are other EV's with longer range that are quite a bit more expensive. Once the price comes down on those of the range on a car in the price range of a Leaf goes up we would consider buying one. MATTHEW BIRNIE (Spark) – I drove a hybrid for years and at low speeds this was similar. It was fun to drive around town, quiet and easy to park. I think it would be great for an urban commuter. It would work here for that also as long as you had access to another vehicle. The range is a significantly limiting factor. Probably not considering an EV purchase...
Thanks GCEA for letting us borrow the Spark. Went from CB to Gunnison every day this week for class at Western and enjoyed going electric. Charging was easy (and free) and it was a very fun car to drive. I am seriously considering adding an EV for our second car now -- great commuter for the Valley. Jason MacMillan
Richard and Sherrill Stenson – EV loan January 10-17, 2019 We had such a good experience driving the Chevy Spark for our EV loan. We were amazed at how quiet it was and convenient to drive. We took it up to Crested Butte and left it charging at the station by the tennis court while we caught a movie, and it gave us plenty of juice to make our trip back home to Gunnison. We took it out cross country skiing, and the skis fit just fine in the car. We would love to own one of these little EV’s and would like to explore the option of creating a local co-op of potential EV owners who would like to go in together on a vehicle and share in the use. Thank you so much GCEA for the opportunity to change our thinking about EV driving and ownership!
