Love this EV

My dad owns this car and absolutely loves it. He never really drives more than 10 miles, so it's his "high speed golf cart."

Exceeded all my expectations!!!!!

I have owned two volts and was ready to go all electric. The Chevy bolt was the ideal car affordable and local service available.

Love It!

I love my Chevy Bolt! What is shocking is that my husband loves it too. We have never agreed on a car in 35 years of marriage. It is fun to drive - very zippy. It handles well, fits into small spaces, and has plenty of room inside. We wish Chevy made a full size electric truck. We would buy that too.

Best EV on the road so far

Though newly an owner, I've done my research into the EV's on the market and am happy that I was able to lease a Bolt. The size is adequate for my family of 4, the range is unmatched, and the charging is straightforward and accessible. So far the handling is great, the design/styling more than acceptable, and the EV experience is great! Looking forward to seeing how much we can put the car to use in the years to come.

Amazing mileage for a full battery charge

Hands down the best in class. Nothing else at this price approaches its mileage. Handles like a Tesla but at a near Prius price.

Best car ever

200 mile range. Fast, quiet, well constructed, solid car. Roomy interior. Never need gas, oil changes, transmission fluid. Maintenance schedule is basically ? Rotate tires every 12000 miles
