Best EV for the price

So far so good. We just got the car at the start of Covid-19 so haven’t done any real distance. But we really like the handling and performance.

First Electric vehicle for my, now I am sold

The exterior leaves some to be desired. However, the interior does take you to the future. I was in the market for a Tesla, but when the near $20,000 in rebates came in and I could get a $44,000 car for a little over $25k, I was sold (not to mention tax credits). Still learning about the distance remaining portion of an EV. One must remember that his is an "average" and therefore, may take 20 miles (displayed) to go 15 or 15 miles (displayed) to go 20. The 260 mile range is a little optimistic, given that AC or heat reduces this distance, driving at night (headlights) reduce the distance, the faster you go the shorter the distance (however, it does have quick pickup for this size of car.

Best and most affordable EV made.

This is the car I've dreamed of. The fun electric driving experience, all manner of great gadgets. Looks good, nice colors. Works great with apple car play. The seat could be a little softer I guess, adaptive cruise control would be a plus, but those are just tiny complaints. It has a powerful heater, heated seats, and fully heated steering wheel. Running all of them still gives you 200 miles of range to play with. This is a great EV for a cold climate. Not everyone lives in California. Really could not be happier with it.

Bolt EV is the best car we’ve ever had.

This 2020 is our second Chevy Bolt EV. We started with the Chevy Volt. Electric cars are the only way to drive! Quiet, quick, and no maintenance! No more trips to gas station, except to adjust the tire pressure. We save on gas, maintenance, time. We charge the battery overnight, so every day the “tank” is full. The cost equivalent is the same as buying gas for a 35 MPG car for $1.10 per gallon! No oil changes, no transmission service, and the brakes last longer because of the Bolt’s excellent regenerative braking. Tire rotation and cabin filter change is the only maintenance.

The EV experience is better than I expected

Instant pickup... has a european handing -- you feel the road, easy to recharge... great mileage when using the "low" gear to recharge the battery with the "gas" pedal... the hatchback feels bigger than it is... viewing the road is fantastic... the price is substantially discounted... more than $12,000 off the retail price... was a "no brainer" decision to buy...

Great all around EV

This is my 2nd three year lease of the Bolt I love it overall. Great performance. Low to no maintenance. Some features I would like to see added would be semi-autonomous options and all wheel drive.

Good value for money but only for lease.

Good performance. Lots of road and wind noise. Poor sound insulation. Jittery ride. You will every bumps on the road. Seat is 1-2 inches small in every dimension.

Great road visibility. Awesome acceleration.

The performance is exhilarating and it's perfectly quiet at all times since it's electric. It has extra large windows and great visibility. It has the fast charge option and long range per charge. Although it's a small vehicle they made very intelligent use of space.
