Used 2021 Chevy Bolt EV Hatchback Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The Bolt comes in two trims: the LT and the Premier. Both models are equipped with the same 66-kWh battery pack under the floor, sending power to a single electric motor (200 horsepower, 266 lb-ft) that drives the front wheels. The estimated range is the same on both trims: 259 miles.
Which Bolt EV trim does Edmunds recommend?
Much of the Bolt's appeal lies in its value. As such, we recommend the base LT trim. There's a big price jump to get the Premier. The Bolt no longer qualifies for any federal tax credits either, which also makes the Premier less enticing. Many of the advanced safety and convenience features from the Premier trim (such as the DC fast-charging capability) can be added to the LT trim as options.
