Would you like to buy an electric car? You might want to wait for a year or two.

General Motors on Monday invented a new electric car: a battery-powered SUV that goes more than 200 miles on a charge and costs about $30,000. Called the Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept.

“This is a real game changer,” Mary Barra, GM’s chief executive, said “This is truly an EV for everyone. For most people, this can be their every daily driver.”

Tesla, having sold a lot of electric cars in San Francisco and Los Angeles, has said it will begin selling a 200-mile car called the Model 3 in 2017 costing about $35,000.

Mary Barra said in an email that the car would hit the market in a year to a year and a half.

“We’ve got this pretty car, and we know how to do it,” he said at the auto show.      Chevrolet said the drivers will be able to use their phones to start the car— keys are not used in the car. Are you interested in it? If you do, you can have it in one or two years.
