The Chevy Bolt is kind of wimpy. The Volt was even wimpier.

The Volvo C40 and Polestar Sedan....docile looking hatch/sedans...0-60 in just over 4 seconds with AWD. Looks are subjective, but it's hard to NOT have fun with that kind of juice. 402hp and 494 lb-ft in that little Volvo. It is a Volvo, though, another reason I'd love for GM to come out with something actually cool in an EV, trucks aside.
I understand how it's nice to have the abundance of silent power. I use it to safely pull out in traffic or into a faster moving lane. Every day or two also to get through as the light goes yellow (not red light running) instead of jamming on the brakes and a risk of being hit from behind. Unless you've driven a powerful BEV it's not familiar, I would say it reminds me of driving something with 4.56 rear gears with that strong pull.
