So, last week we did a thing and finalized some paperwork to add 3 more electric cars to our fleet! Working towards cutting back our carbon foot print while helping introduce the next generation to EV's.
It might be a gray day in the Valley but Bruce GM is, "Going Green," with our local Young Drivers instructors.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with driving Instructors Colin and Greg Robar, whose family business has served the Valley for over 16 years. As two professionals who spend a lot of time in their vehicle, their feedback means a lot to us and they had nothing but glowing reviews for the Chevrolet Bolt EV. In fact, they just purchased another!
Some people would be surprised to see the electric Bolt as a fit for the Valley and its long distance commutes, but Colin and Greg shared their experience with us. Last summer they were getting up to 450 kilometers driving distance on a charge- no problem! With a cost of only $9.00 to fill up (recharge), it made sense to expand their fleet with this 4th addition. In fact, they have purchased 4 of the 5 last Bolt EVs (Electric Vehicle) to come in.
Another bonus for Colin was that he has driven over 40,000 km's in his new Bolt EV - that he purchased over 8 months ago - and has yet to come in for service! The economies of this vehicle are incredible.
Students are excited to drive the Bolt while training. They also have commented on its spacious seating - it seats 4 full sized adults very comfortably and its great drive-ability.
Bruce GM Middleton couldn't be prouder or happier for our ongoing relationship with the Robars and Young Drivers. Hats off to Spencer Gilbert - Bruce GM's top Product Ambassador for Bruce GM in Middleton for the month of January - for his continued work with this dynamic client.
