LOS ANGELES — Watch out, Tesla, your reign as the only carmaker to offer a long-range electric car is about to end. Chevrolet is bringing the Bolt to the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Speaking to Mashable, General Motors' Executive Vice President of Global Product Development, Mark Reuss, confirmed on Wednesday that Chevy will be unveiling the all-new, long-range Bolt electric vehicle at CES in January.

The Bolt is GM's shot across the bow of Tesla and its planned mass-market, long-range Model 3. The Bolt will have an expected 200-mile range and cost around $37,500 before tax credits.

Tesla previously said it will unveil the $35,000 Model 3 next spring. However, it appears Chevy will beat Elon Musk and his Tesla cohort to the finish line — and Reuss is very proud of that fact. He added that it'll offer a lot of "cool tech" on the interior as well.

The new Bolt is the product of a $200-million investment GM made into a long-range EV production facility announced in February. Clearly, that's a very short turnaround time, in automotive terms. So it's obvious Chevy has been working overtime to beat Musk to market.

When asked if Chevy was sticking with the greatly derided Bolt nameplate, which is often confused with the Chevy Volt range-extended EV that just entered its second generation, Reuss confirmed the 200-mile EV would indeed be carrying that moniker.

Even though the name might not be great, it likely won't matter. Just like a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, a Bolt will still beat Tesla's Model 3 to showrooms.
