    Hopefully they'll be the CHAdeMO/CCS combo machines Nissan has been putting in

    i'm amazed at how chuffed people get when they can't get a free charge.

    The headline is a bit misleading.
    GM is requiring Bolt dealers to install a CCS charger "in their service bay".

    This is good, as it will make it easier for the dealer to insure Bolts are delivered fully charged.
    They also mentioned that "some dealers" are going further to install additional chargers.
    There was no mention guidelines or incentives, just that some dealers were doing so.

    They did mention that they had about 2000 Volt dealers (out of 3000 GM dealers). They made no mention of how many GM dealers were becoming Bolt dealers. I would expect most of the ones in CA, elsewhere, we shall have to see.

    I really like the self-sealing tires. I wonder how heavy those are and how well they perform?
    All in all, very nice!
