First EV I was attracted to.

This is a very nice EV, though not luxurious. I live in central Indiana and I can get to any part of the state without recharging. i would need a recharge for the trip back. I can get to 8 different state parks or recreation areas and back without recharging. The regenerative braking is outstanding, and "one pedal" driving is easy. I love the hatchback design and the higher driving position. I would not have wanted a sedan type auto. I have yet to try to get a bicycle in the back with the seats down and the front wheel of the bike off. I plan to use this vehicle for camping and around the state driving. It is not a longer distance road trip vehicle at this time in the EV charging infrastructure. I would warn those fellow Hoosiers that our state charges $150 extra dollars with annual registration to drive an EV to cover road taxes not paid buying gasoline. I calculated that I would have to drive 16,000 miles or more to buy enough gasoline to pay $150 in Indiana fuel tax. I guess Indiana wants us to burn coal in our autos. Cold weather driving does limit the range of a battery charge because of energy consumption for battery conditioning and heat.

What’s missing ...

Outside of no gas bills or oil changes there is: no exhaust, no transmission, no fuel tank, no bulky internal combustion engine, barely any moving parts, and no guilt about ruining the planet. Nice.

Perfect for me

Since I don't take long trips (>200 mi), this was the perfect car for me. I chose it over a Model 3 due to true one pedal driving, satellite radio, Android Auto, 360 camera, easier ingress/egress, and having acccess to Chevy dealerships. I couldn't be happier. The Bolt is downright quick even if not surprisingly quick like a Tesla. If you take longer trips and want fewer charging delays on the road, the Model 3 is probably a better option.

The car is very impressive. Great acceleration, great handling and great range. Yes the interior is not close to the Lincoln MKS I traded for it, but it is perfectly acceptable. There is no going back to a gas engine after owning an ev.

Great Pricing, Great Range

Picked up a 2019 LT a few weeks ago. $10,000 off MSRP means this car with the federal tax credit will cost me around 25k. I usually drive less than 20-30 miles per day with a short 2 mile commute to work. EV is perfect for my lifestyle and I only wish I did EV sooner, but glad I waited due to the HUGE discount. I see that the 2020 Bolt will now come with a 259 mile range which is better than the entry level Tesla Model 3. I don't think you can get a bigger bang for the buck right now.
