GM Shows Bolt Electric Vehicle Concept with 200-Mile Driving Range

General Motors Co on Monday showed its Chevrolet Bolt concept car with an electric driving range of more than 200 miles and a $30,000 price tag, offering a view into where the U.S. automaker is pushing in development of electric vehicles (EV).

The all-electric Bolt is a concept car not currently slated for production, but Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra said the company is committed to developing an affordable, long-range EV, and GM said they could develop the car in as little as 18 months.

"This is a real game changer," Barra told reporters at the media preview at the Detroit auto show.  "Trust me, this is no stripped-down science experiment."

She didn't give a timetable for when GM would develop the vehicle, but said it was a natural next step from the Volt.  GM is showing a new version of the Volt on Monday, and the 2016 version will debut this fall.
