I don’t think there is just one price.  It’s Costco working with local
dealers who want to sell cars to people who don’t want to haggle.   Costco
bargains with eventually an ”approved” dealer or dealers to bring the price
down to where everyone wins.  The dealer sells a car, the Costco member
receives or perceives a better deal than they would have received through
their own negotiations, and Costco gains a commission.

If you search on Costco car buying service reviews, you’ll find a number of
reviews where the buyer screwed up, the dealership was not ethical and
Costco didn’t exert itself and all were left with unhappy experiences.

The bottom line is that it can work well but you have to read and
understand the agreements, be willing to stay the course or walk away, and
provide Costco with feedback at appropriate times.

The 2018 Bolt was not being offered but the 2017 was listed.

With news of the Tesla Semi coming to mainstream media, electrification 
of
the commercial industry is beginning to find its way into the public 
eye.

After all, if the concept of an electric vehicles is good enough for
businesses to adopt in day-to-day operations, why can't the average 
Joe?


Meet the e-Dumper, an all-electric commercial truck meant to change the 
way
that commercialized mining and quarry work is viewed. It might not set 
any

land speed records, and certainly isn't be best looking vehicle on the
market (among both the electrified or petrol-powered), but the notches 
on
its belt signify function over form. This 100,000-pound truck towers 
above

the ground, carrying nearly one-tenth of its weight in battery cells.

The e-Dumper stores the energy capacity of eight Tesla Model S 75Ds, 
making

its total power reserve a staggering 600 kWh. To put that number into
perspective, it's as much power as the average home in the Mid-Atlantic
region of the United States uses in an entire month.

Not to worry though, this truck isn't going to consume a month's worth 
of
electricity every time it takes a trip up the mountain. In fact, this 
truck
actually generates more electricity than it uses. No, this isn't some 
weird

perpetual motion machine, but instead uses physics to put regenerative
braking as its main source of energy.

When the e-Dumper climbs to its destination, it consumes around 30 kWh 
of
energy. But when descending the terrain, the previously-empty truck 
will now

be hauling 120,000 pounds of rock. Thanks to regenerative braking, the
e-Dumper actually generates a surplus of 10 kWh on its descent. Over 
the
course of a day, the truck is expected to make around 20 trips, dumping 
not
only rocks on its return, but as much as 200 kWh of extra energy back 
into

the grid.

Komatsu is no stranger to utilizing electric power plants in its trucks 
...
This particular concept, however, is a modified Komatsu dump truck 
being
designed by heavy equipment manufacturer, Kuhn Schweiz, and a Swiss 
battery

storage company called Lithium Storage.

The Tacita T-Cruiser follows cruiser design, and is available in three
different variants.

Italian electric motorcycle manufacturer Tacita has launched an all-electric
cruiser with a massive battery for longer range. The bike, called the
T-cruiser, is claimed to run for 270 km on a single charge. The Tacita
T-Cruiser is available in three power versions - 7.5 kWh, 15 kWh and the
top-of-the-range 27 kWh. Prices for the bikes range from 9,263 Euros (just
over ₹ 7 lakh) and go up to 21,000 Euros (over ₹ 16 lakh). According to
reports, a new, sportier version of the T-Cruiser is also expected soon, and
could likely make its debut at the EICMA show in Italy in November.

The batteries in the T-Cruiser are from Lithium Polymer, and not Lithium Ion
and have a five-year guarantee. The Li-Po batteries have a slight advantage
in energy density, but also cost more than Li-Ion batteries. For the largest
T-Cruiser model, the Li-Po batteries are said to have a life of 5,40,000 km.
The T-Cruiser has 41 mm front forks, adjustable for preload and there is an
after sales option for a gas-filled front fork as well. Brakes are from
Brembo, gripping a 280 mm front disk and a 240 mm rear, and are wired to the
charging system, so it regenerates energy every time the brakes are applied.
The footrests can be mounted on three different positions on the bike.
tacita t cruiser

The Tacita T-Cruiser has typical cruiser design, with a long, low chassis,
raised bars and a single, round headlight. The design of the bike isn't
exactly beautiful, but there are bound to be some takers for these bikes,
till the time Harley-Davidson's electric motorcycle program reaches
production status. The other unique thing about the T-Cruiser is the
five-speed gearbox with a hydraulic clutch, which includes a reverse gear.
As a manufacturer of electric motorcycles, Tacita has been around for some
time now, having previously created history with the T-Race Rally, which
became the first ever electric motorcycle to participate in a desert rally,
at the 2012 Merzouga Rally.

The T-Cruise will cost from $10,999

WHAT’S a cruiser without a loud, rumbling V-twin? The future, according to
Italian motorcycle manufacturer Tacita, which unveiled its all-electric
T-Cruise at the American International Motorcycle Expo last month.

The T-Cruise has all the characteristics of a traditional American cruiser –
a long, low chassis, raised bars and a large, single headlight. But in place
of an iconic big twin sits a 30kW electric motor, capable of 52 lb-ft of
torque.

Three battery options are available on the model, which looks to be set for
the US market. The entry-level T-Cruise, with a 7.5 kWh battery and a range
of up to 50 miles will cost from $10,999 (£8,283). The middling 15 kWh
version will boast a range of 93 miles, at a price of $14,999 (£11,296) and
finally, the 27.5 kWh option will provide an impressive range of 168 miles,
for $27,999 (£21,086).

The T-Cruise features a hand-stitched leather saddle, three-way adjustable
footpegs, and optional italian eco-leather panniers, in 28 colours.

Suspension is accounted for by hydraulic telescopic front forks and twin
rear shock absorbers with preload adjustment. Linked front and rear Brembo
brakes offer regenerative braking, while the T-Cruise comes with an onboard
charger and fast charger.

Perhaps the most surprising part of the bike is its five-speed gearbox with
hydraulic clutch, which includes a reverse gear. Usually electric
motorcycles don’t feature gears due to their instant torque from zero revs.

Tacita previously made history with the T-Race Rally, which became the

Chevy Bolt EV
]

The rivalry between the Chevrolet Bolt EV and the second-generation Nissan
Leaf went from flinging around theoretical specs, concept-car designs, and
faraway launch dates to mass-producing cars vying for the attention of
buyers who are ready to give up gas and go electric. They both promise
zero-emissions driving and a generous serving of tech, but they’re not
always on equal footing. Join us as we dive deeper into the Chevy Bolt vs.
Nissan Leaf debate.

Tech features

We’ve said this before — tech is the new measuring stick in the automotive
industry, especially when it comes to electric cars. Lane-keeping assist
with lane departure warning and automatic braking are available on the Bolt,
but they’re bundled into a $495 option package only offered on the Premier
trim, which costs $41,780. Even fully loaded, the Bolt comes with fewer tech
features than its rival.

The Leaf is the first car offered with Nissan’s ProPilot Assist technology.
It’s an optional suite of electronic driving aids that assists users when
driving becomes tedious or dangerous. It controls braking, acceleration, and
steering if the car is traveling on a single-lane highway between 18 and 62
mph. ProPilot Assist is a baby step towards full autonomy, which is Nissan’s
end goal. Pricing information hasn’t been announced yet because the Leaf is
so new — expect full details in the coming months.

Performance and range

The Bolt’s 60-kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides up to 238 miles of
range. The electric motor zaps the front wheels with 200 horsepower and 266
pound-feet of torque. Accelerating from zero to 60 mph takes a brisk 6.5
seconds. The Bolt is certainly not a Volkswagen GTI, but we found it to be
surprisingly zippy around town.

While the Bolt qualifies for the coveted “long-range EV” label, we can’t say
the same thing about the Leaf; usability is what truly sets the Chevrolet
and the Nissan apart. The Leaf’s 40-kWh battery pack only provides enough
electricity for up to 150 miles of range. Electricity reaches the front
wheels via an electric motor rated at 147 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of
torque. Nissan promises that a second version of the Leaf with more power
and more range will arrive a little bit later in the production run, and it
will pose a much bigger threat to the Bolt, but a more specific time frame
hasn’t been set yet.

Interior and exterior design

The Bolt and the Leaf fulfill similar missions in the zero-emissions world,
and their respective designs reflect that. The Chevrolet is a tall,
crossover-esque hatchback with plastic cladding that adds a faux rugged
touch to its look. Don’t let it fool you; the Bolt isn’t going anywhere near
a trail. The Leaf is more of a conventional hatchback that just happens to
be electric.
best electric cars Chevy Bolt vs. Nissan Leaf

Chevy Bolt EV

The Bolt’s front end falls in line with Chevrolet’s recent design language.
Inside, you’ll find a pretty standard cabin layout with a large touchscreen
on the center console, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a digital
instrument cluster that’s fully configurable. Curved horizontal lines
emphasize the cabin’s width.

Nissan finally ditched the original Leaf’s alien-esque design in favor of
more conventional styling, much to the satisfaction of anyone who has see
one on a regular basis. Look inside and you’ll find a three-spoke steering
wheel, a large touchscreen for the infotainment system, and a configurable
digital instrument cluster. Experiencing déjà vu? Both the Bolt and the Leaf
were developed with an emphasis on user-friendliness, not luxury. If a
premium electric car is what you’re after, we suggest you check out the
Tesla Model 3.

Chevrolet’s first full-production electric car offers 16.9 cubic feet of
trunk space behind the rear seats, or 56.6 cubic feet with the rear seats
folded flat. Nissan hasn’t revealed the Leaf’s cargo capacity yet.

Pricing and availability

The Bolt is available right now from Chevrolet dealers nationwide – no
reservation required, and no waiting in a virtual line to get one. Pricing
starts at $37,495 before federal and local incentives are factored in, which
makes it considerably more expensive than the Leaf.

Nissan expects the first examples of the 2018 Leaf will reach showrooms
early next year. Pricing starts at $29,990 before incentives are factored
in, meaning it’s actually cheaper than the outgoing first-generation model.
That’s a good chunk less than the Bolt, but be prepared to visit a charging
station more often.
