Used 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premier 4dr Hatchback (electric DD) Consumer Reviews
Excellent EV, Terrible Entertainment System
The car drives great: accelerates fast, zippy acceleration, pretty accurate range estimate. DC fast charge works really well. A lot of safety features came with the model I picked, front end collision warning sometimes can be a little overzealous, but overall the safety features are very helpful. The entertainment system was terrible, feature & quality looks like Chevrolet never had such a system before, e.g. When the car is turned on again, it remembers what the volume was set at, but it does not remember whether it was turned off or not. This combined with CarPlay needs a higher volume setting than radio, often results in really loud radio playing when the car is turned on, very annoying. Worst part is the entertainment system would lock up from time to time, mostly upon turning on the car. I had to wait for some time for it to reboot. later googled and found out the two finger solute to get it to reset faster. When it reboots, heater & AC both on, and the fans blast to the max. Electronically, this car felt it was still in the old times, no over the air software update, the app is a joke, entertainment system user interface is awkward.

Excellent car!
Educate themselves on electric cars and how to address "range anxiety".

Great 2nd car
It's fun to drive and I've been going 3 days on charge. Seats aren't the most comfortable I've ever seen, but not a big problem..
Bad engineering design decision
There are HV charging harnesses that flow right behind the front driver-side bumper which can get damaged with minor front end collisions. I feel like it should probably be routed more carefully through frame-vias so that it's not so suceptible.

Snappy Chevy
Bolt is an excellent value in an electric vehicle: Long range at 232 miles, peppy acceleration, solid tech and a perfect down the road every day driver. Its a fun car to own at a. great value for the price.
