Love the concept of the car but a few quarks.

Car drives and handles very well but some packaging decisions that I question. I owned a Fiat 500e and loved having an electric car. But sine I bought the car the family grew, so I need something with 5 seats and a small run about. I was very excited about the Bolt coming out. I test drove it and something just did not feel right. The seat seemed narrow and felt that I was leaning in towards the Salesman. I commented to the salesman about the seats and he said he felt the same way. Later I found out that it was designed that way on purpose the Outer side of the seat has a larger bolster to accomidate the side seat airbag and the inner side is smaller to allow access to the center cubby. So if you have broad shoulders you will need to but seat cover on it and add your own bolster unless GM comes up with a better idea.

Range anxiety is gone!
by John
from Pittsburgh, PA
on Fri May 26 2017
With the increased range, compared to my Leaf, I no longer worry about range. Drive fast, drive cold weather, drive long distances, I don't worry about EV range anymore.
It's powerful, not just 0 to 40, but it accelerates very well from 40 to 60, too. With a top speed over 90 mph, it is not just for city driving.
Excellent technology with a very large touch screen. All the latest driving assistance with Apple CarPlay and other apps.
My only gripe is the front seats are small have no lumbar adjustment.

Excellent Supplemental Car
by Bolted
from Mullica Hill
on Sun May 07 2017
Purchased this car as a supplemental car to my gas guzzling Ram. I love my ram but needed something more fitted for city commuting. The bolt fits the bill precisely. I love the technological advances of this car along with the economy of electric. Granted, I'm not sure that the true savings is quite there yet between electric and gas, but it works for me. The car rides great and I don't have any type of range anxiety with 240 miles per charge.
With that being said, if you want to make this your daily driver you need fast charging capabilities as this only charges 4 miles as hour with the bundled AC cord.
I have to admit, as dorky as this car looks I haven't had this much fun driving a car in years! Definitely recommended!

Peppy Car
by Eddie J.

on Tue Jun 20 2017
I test drove the Chevy Bolt on 16 June 2017. The car has excellent body lines and the interior has plenty of head room. All features are user friendly. On the driver's side it could've used a little more side-to-side leg room. The handling wasn't too bad, a little bouncy after driving over bumps. It had plenty of pep, no problem merging onto the highway.

I really loved this car. the reason I would not buy it is that the driver's seat is not comfortable for me. The seats need to have lumbar support. You also need lunar support for the Volt as well. I don't know why you would not consider how important that is when designing such a beautiful car. Also, I think that all of the Bolts should have an outlet for fast charging as well as 240. You should also make all of your dealerships have free charging devises throughout the country.

Good for so many reasons
by Greg

We love our 2017 Bolt EV Premier. The acceleration is unbelievable. The one pedal setting is so easy and regenerates the battery. No jerking starts or stops. A world of information at our fingertips. So far, we have only used our recharger at home for all the charging. Our electric cost is about a quarter the cost of gasoline for our previous car. Charging stations increasing both in numbers and speed. ChargePoint maps show all stations and levels.
Getting away from fossil fuels is so important to us. Now more than ever.

LOVE my Bolt!
by EVs for All!

I really wanted an electric vehicle. Tesla was outside of our price range, and honestly, I'm nervous about the long-term viability of Tesla as a company. The Chevy Bolt was an obvious choice. Amazing range - 240 miles and more! FUN FUN FUN to drive! And quite roomy in the back seat and trunk area. With the tax credit or without it, I am confident that I would have purchased this car.

My next electric car

The power and space is wonderful. I couldn't believe the legs and head room that I explained. It is very quiet . The fast charge is one of the things that I was impressed with.

I'll never buy a gas or diesel driven car again...
by JKP

Best mid sized five door hatchback I've ever had at my daily disposal. The people at Heritage Cadillac of Lombard, IL. were fair with the trade allowance and are the only part of the deal that is better than the car itself. It plugs in to any 110v outlet at work and is fully charged before I leave. It pre-heats the interior while it is still plugged in. It goes from 0-60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. There is not a luxury feature it lacks at all.
