I have had this car for a little over a month now and have to say that I really do enjoy it! I traded in a 2016 Volvo S60, which I loved, for this Chevy Bolt. I was looking to get away from the VERY expensive maintenance costs that European vehicles have. It is definitely not a sexy car, but when you're buying an EV, I don't necessarily know if sexy is the look you're going for: it's par for the course. A nice bonus I have enjoyed has been the $500 EVGo credits that Chevy gives you if you opt out of the Level2 charger installed in your home. I don't have a house, so the charge credits were the obvious answer for me. I have not had to put any money into charging it since it doesn't cost too much to charge. Again, I have had the vehicle for a little over a month and I still have almost $480 credits--and that's with 2 out-of-town trips! There are some minor build quality issues--nothing too crazy, just things I have noticed coming from a luxury car. For example, the glossy black acrylic they have on the paneling in the car is a magnet for dust and scratches. The car is a lot of fun to drive and a breeze park--especially with the 360 degree camera. I live in downtown Omaha, Nebraska and haven't had a single issue finding somewhere to charge my car. I am just curious to see how it fares in the colder, snowy weather. If you are looking for an inexpensive, decently appointed EV, I think the Bolt deserves serious consideration. The only other EV I have driven was a Tesla Model 3, but I think the driving experience was similar--especially with the one pedal driving. The interior is very spacious, so unless you're hauling lumber, it should suit most drivers' needs. If you're curious, give it a go! I don't think I can go back to a gas-powered vehicle after this.

Recently, bought the Bolt and have not been disappointed. The acceleration is great and it handles much better than I expected. Traded in my BMW because it takes premium gas and with the gas prices going up and more taxes added to them. Figured it was time go electric. Could not have made a better choice.

The big battery and low price makes this a promising value. The small size appeals to me. I can carry four adults in reasonable comfort though or a bike with the front wheel removed. The seats are now comfortable and with additional safety features it's a very capable car. I'm still not a fan of the suspension. Even with recent improvements it's not terribly forgiving on rough roads. Maybe the short wheelbase has something to do with that but the basic rear suspension doesn't help. On smooth roads it's fine and stable though. The torque steer has been almost eliminated thank goodness as the older version was downright frightening at times. The car is more basic than some newer EVs but I'm OK with that. One problem I had was I found out my phone isn't compatible with the android auto app on the car. I can make calls and receive messages but the nav system will not work. My old phone will work on the new Bolt and my new phone worked on the old Bolt so something definitely got fouled up. Check with the service department for comparability before buying.

Lasted only 5 months - LEMON!

Bought this Bolt EV in June, 2023 with only 5400 miles on it. Comfy seats, fun to drive, great EV range and loved the cargo storage. In November (9600 miles), the steering started locking up. Dealer says it needs a new steering column (at less than 10,000 miles!!). None in stock, nationwide part shortage, no ETA on parts - has been sitting at dealership for two months now. Planning to file a Lemon Law claim and avoid GM cars in the future.

been driving a Fiat500 pop and aFiat500e, using the electric around town and the gas for trips. I am 55 miles from a gas station in Death Valley. This was to find out if electric car was feasible. And oh yeah it is! I now have only one car and it will get to Vegas and back on a charge, will never see me at a gas station again. The car can be set for 8 amps or up to 12 based on the 110 charger. The one from chevy is 11.5 and my old after market is 8.5 they both work and the 11.5 is a lot faster but not really necessary. I can do 90 miles a day 5 days a week no problem on the 8.5 and I don't plug the car in till its been in the garage for at least an hour to cool. ( Its still summer and 120+ right now ) . This is way better then I expected and it will charge even faster once it cools off. the difference between a 2017 electric car and a 2022 is just amazing I really like this car it drives so smooth even on dirt roads.
