First all electric car I have owned

Love it. We put a 220 charging station in the garage and plug it in at night. Fully charged by morning.

Great electric car

Just what I wanted. The future now for the cost of an ordinary car. Good performance and handling. Fill up at home overnight, or on the road in an hour. Nothing to service

Great handling and performance

Performance and handling have met or exceeded all expectations. Lot of room on the inside. Lot of info available on dash/control panel.

Love my New Bolt

I fyou are looking for a long range EV, you have 2 choices. Tesla or GM. for the money, GM offers the best value. at 250+ effective mile range, there is no range anxiety at all for me. I have been extremely pleased with my Bolt. My ICE car just sits there now collecting dust.

The wave of the future

I have solar panels on my house. When I charge a Bolt EV at my house, I have a solar powered car! The 238 mile range is great. For the money (including the $7,500 tax credit), the Chevy Bolt is a bargain! No more gas stations either!

Great car. Also happens to be an EV

Love this car. Great traction and responsiveness. Nice interior styling. Quiet ride. Low CG gives it good handling. Oh, it also never needs gas.

I love my BOLT!

This has been the most exciting car I have owned. It is a totally new driving experience as I am learning to drive it more efficiently every day. I have discovered how weather temperatures affect the battery - NE winters do not help! I am sure mid summer will also affect it. It feels clean to drive and I love not thinking about gas stations!

Our first EV - Great car

We decided to try an all electric vehicle to save on gas and help the environment. The new Bolt is a great car for the price that we paid. No need to spend $80-$140K on a Tesla. The Bolt fits our needs and with the 238 mile range it gets us everywhere that we need to go. We got the Premier to have the leather seats, surround cameras, and the driving safety features like we have with our Subaru's Eyesight option. We feel very safe in the Bolt and are impressed with it's performance.

Bolt EV

The Bolt EV is my dream car. Fully electric and long range. It has useful safety features such as, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot alert, lane departure aleart, and ?birds eye view.? Its wicked fast and has good visibility.
