Yep, like the Leaf, the new Chevy Bolt only has the one battery, 57kw giving 238 mile range.
To be fair, if you can live without all the tech and Tesla styling, then the lower price of the Bolt is a better buy BEV, and available now not in two years time.
Of course the Chevy Bolt is not type aproved for towing, although a few have fitted tow bars, or hitch's as the yanks call them, to the Chevy Bolt, and it tows perfectly well upto around 1000kg.
Also I think the Bolt is currently only available in the U.S.

Well the Tesla Model 3 is now well into the numbers, production running at well over 5,000 cars per week in fact one week did see 8,000 cars produced.
Some time in 2019, production numbers of Model 3 are expected to reach 10,000 cars per week.
This will happen when more battery pack manufacturing lines are opened up at the gigafactory in Sparks Nevada.
Even at current production levels, no other legacy automaker is producing as many BEV as what Tesla are churning out.
Well done Tesla, and to Elon, although I am not sure that smoking joints, and dating young chicks, is calming the investors.
