“We put the Bolt through our battery of rigorous tests and droveit thousands of miles, both at our test track and on public roads,”Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports' Director of Automotive Testing, saidin a statement. “With the ability to go up to 250 miles on acharge, the Bolt is a good option for someone who might have neverconsidered an EV before.”

Does an insureds' rate decrease if the car is electric?Questions like these also apply to the respective risks that autonomous vehicles mayface as companies invest heavily in that field, too.
