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.

Very good but some glitches
Overall this is great car for the money, calculate it out and it may pay for itself within a number of years considering likely gas price hikes. Great acceleration, braking, range, visibility... It is one of the cheaper EVs and there are some problems - Back hatch latch is plastic instead of metal. Frontmost panel seems slightly recessed compared to other side. When hitting lock on remote it doesn't beep at you if a door is open!! Also the onstar/mychevy api doesn't work anymore, even the official app for it it asks you to log in every time you open it. Without a wrench you can't get to the 12v battery within the front compartment to connect tire pump or other accessory directly. Not 4wd but front wheel drive should be much better in snow/ice than other rwd EVs.

Full electric now!
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.

Value Plus, no other EV comes close
I just bought the 23' EUV premier, chevy dropped the price by 6k, and the tax incentives were 9500, and chevy is paying for my level 2 charger, $1250. W my solar panels my gas station in my garage and the sun fuels my car. If that's not enough, between the sun and sound pkg and hands free driving technology this car is off the charts at this price. Yes, long charging times for long trips, over 500 miles, is really the only feature that I don't like. Take the time to compare this to other cars in this price range, I think you'll agree.
Propulsion Power Reduced
With 205 miles driven, Propulsion Power Reduced message came on and propulsion was reduced to 30 miles per hour. Bigger vehicles with bright lights let me know what I had already concluded: sudden deceleration to 30 miles per hour in heavy traffic is dangerous. OnStar diagnostic confirmed Propuision problem could only be remedied by immediate service at dealership. Complete failure at 211 miles
