I purchased my first EV on August 4th, 2021. A 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premier. I absolutely love this car. It's surprisingly large interior and trunk space, didn't make me think I was trading down to a smaller car. Connectivity is excellent. It's quick and fun to drive for a spirited driver such as myself. Great stereo! Front & rear heated leather seats. Heated leather steering wheel. Rear view mirror also a digital/HD camera rear view mirror. Loads of passenger leg room, head room, shoulder room, and hip room. The rear seat sits higher than most and is excellent in comfort. I can't believe this is a Chevrolet EV. One pedal driving with additional paddle for extra regen braking is amazing and aggressive. I charge as I drive. This is a quality automobile. I can't wait for more EVs from GM.

Traction control can't be truly turned off. It always backs off the power when you try to spin the tires. Of course, most people don't want to intentionally spin the tires unless they're still a kid at heart (guilty as charged). But seriously, the car is nimble, quicker than most cars I've driven. My wife and I took a road trip that lasted 3 days, charged at campgrounds with RV charging while we camped at night, had a fully charged battery the next morning and had little to no range anxiety. You get better range at lower speeds, so if driving 70+ is your thing, range will be significantly less. My driving habits have changed because I like to improve my range. I can drive to work (35 mile round trip) 7 days a week, charge one night and it costs me $5.00 in electricity. All month for $20.00.

Great car, early concerns found unwarranted

First concern was front drivers seat. I am 6'2" 200 lb adult. When test driving I thought the seats tight and would give them a C grade. However, after 700 miles, the seats are far more comfortable and would give them a B grade. Adjustable lumbar and slightly wider would make the an A. Range was also a concern. Was worried empg was not accurate. However I found it to be very reliable. With full charge (at 8amps 120v) I got an estimate of 325/276/226. After driving 6 miles to drop my kids at school, (we live on the bottom of s hill) the estimate was 323/274/224.) more later

The car is very roomy in front and back. I'm 6'3" and have no problem sitting behind myself. The front seats are a little narrow and aren't as comfortable as most. The car is very quick but feels a little twitchy. if you accelerate quickly from a slow speed "torque steer" is very noticeable. The small exterior size makes parking in the smallest spaces a breeze and the rear camera is also very useful. The Bolt corners very flat and fast with little body lean but is a bit harsh on any but the smoothest roads. The long milage per charge you get for the money is excellent. It's so good you may not need a level 2 charger. I charge from midnight to five AM with the provided 110v charger for the best rates and get through the week with no worries. I love this car. I've never had any mechanical issues, the car is lively and fast, gets over 200 miles per charge and has a very useful seating configuration.
