As predicted (see THE BOLT 2017 AT THE CES: VIDEO OF OUR INTERVIEW WITH PATRICK FOLEY) General Motors released the BOLT’s specs this morning at the Detroit Auto Show!

Here they are:

Battery Capacity: 60 kWh (no information on usable capacity though)

Output of its front wheel electric motor: 150 kW (equivalent to 200 HP)

Torque: 266 lb-ft (360 Newton-meters) for the permanent-magnet traction motor. Take note that as it is for most EV’s, the torque is constant.

Acceleration: 0 to 60 mph acceleration in less than 7 seconds (we already knew that from CES). 0 to 30 is at 2.9 seconds!

The battery charging power at 240 volts will be 7,2 kW (therefore, only a 30 amps EVSE is required to get maximum L2 charging performance).

Battery weight: 960 pounds (435 kG)

The CSS fast-charging port is limited to 50 kW which will provide 90 miles (144 KM) of range in 30 minutes.

Curb weight: 3580 pounds (1623 KG)

Congratulations to my colleague François Boucher, your prediction was quite right for the battery capacity:
