I know not everyone is interested in owning an EV, I'm not yet, but
interesting to look at a series of teardown videos for a Chevy Bolt EV
(aka Opal Ampera-e)

This car seems better equipped to cope with extremes of head and cold
than some others.
Quite interesting how modular the electronics are, I wonder if the costs
of all those chunky connectors, wiring harnesses and cooling hoses will
tempt them to combine into fewer modules as the technology stabilises?
I have had one for five years.
Recalled four times with various problems (semi-related to being an EV)
They cost an arm and a leg t fix if there's a problem in the electric side of it.
And no back street garage fixers either.
