The Bolt, which goes into production this year, will be able to drive 238 miles per charge, beating Tesla's Model 3 range of 215 miles per charge. GM's EV will go into production this year, also beating Tesla's Model 3 to market. The Model 3 is slated to go into production in late 2017.

The Bolt will price at about $30,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit and will have a top speed of 91 miles per hour. While that's impressive on its own, the vehicle also has a number of other impressive features that make it much more appealing.
