MY BOLT EV CONTINUES TO SHOCK PEOPLE! (Loving it)

I've owned Mercedes, BMWs, a mini van, large Ford Trucks, small Japanese vehicles, a Mustang, a Blazer, a VW Bug, a GTI, a hot RS Audi and a Land Rover. The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt 2LT has gone further past my expectations then any other vehicle I have owned. Each of my friends, and I, that have driven the car are blown away by the accelerations, roominess, superior ride height, headroom for us 6'2"+ tall guys, dashboard layout, high resolution 10.2" display, storage space, 360 degree visibility, low drag coefficient, church mouse silence, arrow-straight tracking on the highway, gigantic outside mirrors, stylish swirl design wheels and myriad of thoughtful appointments (like LED front/rear lights, front sequential turn signals, bodacious sounding audio system with decent sub-woofer, and much more). I couldn't help but hole shoot some performance cars and even one performance cycle from the red light being someone that grew up with much time spent at the drag strips around Washington DC. Were they visibly upset that this granny-looking, egg-shaped sleeper waxed them? Yes. And from 25 mph, this thing takes off like a jack rabbit. Having 100% torque from 0 RPM produces an feeling of performance that is unheard of from a $32,000 car (that's before subtracting Federal EV tax credits and Chevrolet's tossing in $1,000 towards my home Level-2 charger). So essentially for $25,000 I have a hot hatch that blows the doors off of unsuspecting Dodge Charger Scat Paks and other so-called super cars. I drive this car conservatively most times, but knowing I have a mini rocket ship is sure gratifying ... LoL! On occasional 300 mile trips, ok, sure, the charger is slow but not painfully so. I'll charge up two times and get to my destination with no sweat and could easily do it with one charge to 90% ... and arrive at my destination with at least 40-60 miles of range left. So all these people comparing this little gem with Tesla Model 3 vehicles can keep doing so. The front wheel drive is very controllable and the cab-forward design maximizes the wheelbase length and thus the riding comfort. There is nothing out here that compares with what you get for your money with a Bolt EV. I see no reason to purchase a Bolt EUV that is 6 inches longer and weighs more. The EV's lighter weight simply lets me embarrass supercars that much more. Yeah, they'll catch up with me eventually, but I am laughing so hard at how upset they were that it doesn't matter. Everyone can keep punching holes in this car and criticize the fires it had years ago ... plus the slower onboard 55Kw charger, but I don't care. Even the used ver 1.0 Bolts that have had the batteries exchanged by Chevrolets recall now have an excellent vehicle. I've driven 2019 Bolts and I am just as impressed as with my 2023. So all you procrastinators can continue to rack your minds over whether this is a good choice while I am having a ball with this fine vehicle. Oh it doesn't have a frunk ... and oh it doesn't have access to the Tesla SuperCharger network (for now) and so forth, but in the meanwhile I am having no problems charging at public Level-3 charging stations, no problem with range and no problem having a lot of fun driving this micro beast.

My wife and I think this car is great. Yes, it took GM too long to resolve the battery issue, but frankly the loss of range by charging up to 80% of battery capacity would not affect us except on very long trips. We love the regenerative braking and the relatively simple controls. The vehicle handles well enough and we have found a level 2 charger at home is no hassle and a great money saver. The seats are quite comfortable. We also have a 2019 Prius Prime (plug in hybrid). We substantially prefer our Bolt.

While it took me weeks and many dealer inquiries to actually find an available Bolt 2LT, the effort was worth it. This is my first electric and I couldn't be more pleased so far. It's comfortable, well appointed, well made and I'm getting more range than I expected. Perfect car for the nearby trips I make and expect I'll do 90% of my charging at home. Having owned the Bolt EV for almost 6 months now, my original review stands. This is an outstanding EV, especially so at the price. Has all the options I need/want in the 2LT version, and I've been averaging over 300 miles on a charge since I don't do a lot of highway driving in this car. It's perfect for local trips and I've very confidently taken it on 200 mile round trips. I charge almost exclusively at home, so the slower charge rate is no issue. I set it to charge at night when rates are cheapest and the car is easily fully charged in the morning. Chevy made a good decision to update this car and not discontinue it. After a year of ownership I continue to love this vehicle use it daily. Have had no issues at all, and am averaging 4.8mpKWH which is much more than expected. On a full charge I typically get just over 300 miles. Only limitation is charging time, but except for two times I've only charged it overnight at home and don't use it for extended trips.

This is a nice car, but I’m a little concerned about the distance it can travel on a full charge because it keeps going down this winter.

perfect commute car. Reliable, nice ride, good pick up, and good technology. I live in cold and that is a draw back.
