June 2017 EV News

Happy June to you!

At Rosedale Chevrolet, we are extremely excited as we move closer to receiving mass shipments of the All-New All-Electric Chevy BoltEV! Our experience thus far has been wonderful including our visits to area public and private events as well as meeting so many terrific folks who have a new or renewed interest in vehicle electrification. Below you will find a recap of some events we have attended and some that are coming up, an updated timeline of events related to ordering the BoltEV and some news about the Volt.

Events: We were pleased to join the congregation and neighbors at New Life Presbyterian Church during their "Where We Are" event. We brought the Volt along and provided Ride n Drives for a dozen or so folks. My family was happy to join me for this event and found the church members to be welcoming and they had a great time as well.
We also had a chance to join Matthew Blackler at the Wright-Hennepin Electric Coop Board Meeting. I brought the BoltEV for Ride n Drives and walkarounds for attendees and engaged in wonderful conversation. 
Drive Electric Minnesota has graciously invited us to a couple Employer Hosted Ride N Drives including at the Anderson Company. They have a nice article and collection of images that you can check out by clicking HERE.
Midwest Evolve was nice enough to invite us to the Minneapolis Health and Safety Expo at the Minneapolis Convention Center for a two-day, indoor ride n drive with the BoltEV. It was neat to allow folks to take test drives inside the Convention Center Hall! We also brought a Diesel Chevy Cruze along.
Our next event is the Makers Faire at the MN State Fairgrounds this coming Saturday where we will provide ride n drive opportunities. We will also attend the Dairyland Power Representative Meeting in LaCrosse Wisconsin later this month.
If you hear of or are helping to plan any events that the BoltEV, Volt or other Chevy Product should attend, please let us know. 

This sign was posted on the MN Plug-In Vehicle Owner's Facebook Group by Robert Moffitt and shows perhaps the first sign nominating Interstate 94 as an Alternative Fuel Route. You can read more about this story by CLICKING HERE.

Chevrolet BoltEV Sales jumped 21% in May with 1566 reported deliveries. Volt slowed a bit to just over 1800 units in May, likely due to the increased availability of the BoltEV. I anticipate both numbers to climb as we get into the summer season and availability increases including the Adaptive Cruise Control on the Volt. InsideEVs.com says, "Of the 1,566 Bolt EVs moved, GM said 1,438 were to retail customers and 128 to fleet/commercial." See the story here.

Rosedale Chevrolet's exclusive VIP BoltEV Pre-Order program is the best in Minnesota! We will expedite deliveries of up to 150 BoltEV's in our initial order and you can join the fun today! VIP BoltEV folks will enjoy the benefits of working with knowledgeable EV Sales and service professionals while saving top dollar on their lease or purchase! We are also including a Complementary VIP BoltEV Gift Pack for you which includes a 220v 16 amp Level 2 Charger that has a portable Nema 14-50 plug. This will allow you to take your charger on your road trip, camping or wherever you want to go. We are also including a Complementary Maintenance Plan for your first 8 years or 100k miles, whichever comes first.

With your fully refundable $500 Deposit, you can secure your spot in line for the All-New All-Electric Chevy BoltEV! We will close this program once we hit 150 orders or once Chevrolet opens up the ordering process, which could be any day. If you want to get the Free Gift Package, I would suggest locking in today! Call, text or reply to this message to learn more and secure your position! 
If you are already on the VIP BoltEV Pre-Order List, you will see another email later today that will be very important. Stay tuned..

The timeline for BoltEV: We will begin placing our orders in mid to late June with expected deliveries in September. I am working to try to get these vehicles here as soon as possible and if we can move the timeline up, we certainly will! Our goal is to get these on the road and in your garage as soon as we can! I have programs for folks who need a vehicle before the BoltEV arrives; please let me know if you have an immediate vehicle need!

To recap: BoltEV and Volts are great vehicles affording fantastic opportunity!
