This video was sent to me as I requested info from Chevy. So basically the dash-to-front axle ratio is smaller compared to the larger Blazer EV. I hope that frontward visibility isn't blocked by the hood. My current model has a very good view of the road whereas some cars (Bronco Sport) appear to have a "pizza box hood" meaning that you really cant see the front or even the sides of the road from where you sitting.

If the dash is closer to the front, visibility should be better all things being equal. The nose of the Equinox EV dips down so visibility should be good, Evan. My Bolt's nose slants down more, but people like the flatter, less slanted Bolt EUV nose which is more like the Equinox EV in that regard. So trade off between styling and a more aerodynamic, slanted nose.

Did you drive your Bolt from the Long Island dealership to where you are in Ill, Steven? Did charging take a large portion of the time?

That was my Volt trip in 2011, Evan. The Bolt I bought locally in Illinois.

I had a 1990 Pontiac Transport. What I discovered is important is how quickly the nose drops off relative to the apparent slope of the windshield and hood. The Transport's dust buster shape nose made it easy to park because you actually had about a foot of extra space in front of the van than what the driver's perspective indicated.

I thought the Transports' styling was VERY cool, obermd. Space age stuff. Maybe that's why I like the Bolt's shape as well. A mini-me Transport, lol.

Don't forget that BrightDrop looks like one of the parents of the Bolt, lol

Or a child that grew up bigger than its parents, Evan?
