I spend a week with the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV to find out what it's like to live with the most affordable EV in America. On paper it's impressive, starting at just $28,795 before the federal tax credit while still doing 247 miles of range and being quicker than the average family crossover. So what's the catch? There's only one big drawback to the Bolt EUV, but if you can live with it, you get the best electric vehicle bargain currently available in 2023. What do you think about the 2023 Bolt EUV? Thanks to Chevy for providing this vehicle to review!

The Bolt EUV cargo area is, in fact, not roomier than the regular Bolt. They are the same size. There are 3 inches extra in the back seat and 3 extra inches in the hood. That's it.
Thank you for the correction!
That makes it roomier
@@ZaneFinn Not in the trunk.
This isn't actually right. The numerical cargo volume is the same because of the way the cargo volume is calculated. There is a formula they have to follow to report that number. In reality, the cargo space is roomier.
@@fluffysheap Is that because the car is taller? Because it is the same size otherwise. Cubic feet or not.
FYI for anyone buying a bolt in March 2023: there have been a few dozen incidents of "boot lock" in Bolts built between 2020 and 2023. A "boot lock" is when the car's computer systems freeze during initial power-on. When this happens in the Bolt, you can't put the car in gear, you can't disengage the parking brake, roll the windows up or down, or open the rear hatch. Pressing the Power button again won't break the lock-up either. Evidence from many owners suggests that this happens - occasionally, on some Bolts - when the driver is in a hurry and puts the car in Drive or Reverse before the power-on-self-test routine is completed. To break the boot lock if it happens to you, you need to detach one or the other of the terminal clamps (use a 10mm wrench for this), from the 12 volt battery, wait 2 minutes, then re-attach the cable to the battery. This will re-set the clock back to midnight and you'll have to reset it, but it should break the boot lock and let you start the car into normal operation. This is obviously a glitch in the car's operating system software somewhere in the computer, and GM is aware of the problem, but apparently they haven't been able to locate and correct it in the computer code yet.
To prevent a boot lock from happening, all you have to do is allow enough time (15 seconds is usually enough) for the car to complete the power-on self test before letting off the parking brake and selecting a drive or reverse mode. You will know when the POST is completed when all the indicators, digital gauges, and warning lights on the instrument panel stabilize and the "ready" light is on.
Excellent point, wait for the POST to finish before clicking D.
Interesting. What you described doesn’t happen to my EUV, and hopefully will never happen.
I’ve watched 100 videos about Bolts and other EV’s and yours is one of the Best! Love your honest yet positive enthusiasm. I’ve had our 2023 Premier for a month, drive it everywhere, everyday and love every minute of it. Silky smooth, quick and quiet ride. I traded in our 2020 Fit which was a nice runabout but the Chevy sits a little higher, great view of the road and very easy to drive. It also feels bigger and more secure on the highway. 99.9% of our driving is within 30 miles but I kept our hybrid CRV for longer trips for the time being. This gives us a chance to drive both types of vehicles for comparison but I can say after the first thousand miles the all EV will be our future. As battery range and infrastructure improvements continue there will be no reason to fill up with gas, get oil changes etc.etc. Etc.
Best of luck and Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience Pete! I’m glad you’re enjoying yours and I’m glad you liked the video too!
I just bought a 2023 Bolt EV with the L2 package. Love this car! We got the $7500 tax credit plus a Chevrolet paid Level 2 48 Amp charger upgrade to my garage wiring (does not include the actual charger). Cost of the car $24,000!!! Previous car was a 2014 Nissan Leaf with only 70 mile range so this 259 mile range is unreal!
Just found your channel and really enjoyed your review! Last June I leased for my son (new driver) the Bolt EV 1LT cause of the standard features and safety equipment we got for the price! The level 2 instal by Chevy was the bonus and sealed the deal. We all love this vehicle at home and when he’s not using it, we do… we plan on buying it out at the end of the lease term and my Bolt EUV Premier RedLine is coming late July with a state rebate of 4K and 0 sales tax making this car under 30k for me. Deal of the century with all the EUV offers . Case use for me 92-115 miles per day, rare road-trips over 300 miles (1-2x per year) and home charging available… considered a Tesla but without the need to road trip, Bolt made more sense on many different fronts…
Chevy really won with this vehicle, this is how we will transition to EV’s and not with six figures vehicle making unnecessary power. 🍃
I’m much more interested in these cheap electric cars. Anyone can make a $100k+ 2sec0-60 car but you really gotta know how to stretch a dollar at this price point. Good video as always Matt!
Thanks Eddie! Glad you liked it!
Not really, many brands are struggling to make EV’s right now, besides Tesla and BYD in China.
The thing is how many corners are cut to make this how long are the cycles for the battery compared to those other brands
@@lesstevens2370 The batteries are good quality and should last as long as any other EV
@@wemakecookie it all comes down to thermal management for battery life
I just bought this car in metallic blue. I just love this car. The price is by far the best in EV value. Gov. incentives knocked 10k off the price, and Chevy pays 1250 for a level 2 charger. The only real caveat IMO is the slower fast charging for trips. But I have a Toyota hybrid for long trips. So for me 99%of my driving will be in this car. I just had solar panels installed, so my garage, w the sun, is my new gas station. ⛽️
Congrats, I'm glad you're enjoying yours and thanks for sharing your ownership experience!
I'm the family/neighborhood car guy. Whenever they ask for an EV recommendation, it's the Bolt, hands down. The value proposition can't be beat, it scoots, plenty of range around town, roomy, and surprisingly, one of the best screwed together GM products. I know several folks who drive it on 45 min commutes daily with rock solid reliability.
That's great to hear, thanks for sharing your experience!
How important / good is the super cruise feature ?
Great review. This is what I recommend to pretty much anyone with a lower budget who doesn't road trip a lot looking to get into an EV. I had a 2019 Bolt and the biggest downside was the absolutely awful seats, but they appear to have remedied that. Everything else about it was a great practical daily driver, and the EUV is even better with more room and available Super Cruise (which at the risk of being attacked by Tesla fanboys, is objectively much better than Auto Pilot 😃)
I’m back after driving our Bolt for over 1000 miles and having the 240 charger installed and paid for by Chevy. Bottom line, this is the best car we’ve ever driven. My wife just loves it for its smooth ride, total comfort, safety features and Bose sound system. It feels great on the interstate and that’s a big deal. I see these tiny little smart cars and mini’s and I appreciate the intention to save on the use of gas but WOW this Bolt gives the feeling of a full size car and all I do is plug it in for a few hours a week. It’s funny that you mention the Equinox because I’m looking forward to driving that when it comes out to see if I will trade in our CRV Hybrid. I mean, the CRV Hybrid has been a great car but once you go EV there is no reason to use any gas or oil etc. All Electric only makes sense and I hope and expect that the technologies including increased battery/mileage capacity will continue to improve.
5:02 you have to go into the charging options and update home location to save the 12A charging rate setting
Ah okay, thanks for the info!
You do have battery %. On the left side. You see the estimated range max/min and it is overlaid on top of the actual %. % is shown as "0, 25, 50, 75, 100" with the light green dark green segments alternating in 5% segments.
That doesn't sound very numerical to me
Just not precise
I find the lines to the right of the average miles available do give in increments of 25% a good indication of the charge left in the battery. Although there are no numerical values it is similar to a gas gauge. The background remains green until the charge gets low when the background turns tan.
Thanks Matt.
People complain about charging but the Bolt's efficiency makes it perfect for those of us with renewables to charge at home and get the most miles per kWh. When we take a trip we have to charge a little longer, for the few times that happens it's not a problem. We had two Bolt EV's before the EUV and never had any problems with any of our Bolts, just great, dependable cars - perfect for us. We don't want an Equinox - too big, more than we need and it will be a couple of years before their price drops to the point that they come close to the Bolt, hope GM keeps making it!
Thanks for sharing your ownership experiences!
Yes, too bad GM doesn’t make enough of Bolt
@@angy97 It's not really GM, it's chips, components and COVID. GM does say that they plan on making 70k Bolts this year, let's hope so!
So does this one still limit max speed to 90mph like the Chevy Bolt?
Great review, Matt, very thorough, like always. Actually, I bought this car about 6 months ago. I highly recommend it to anybody looking for an affordable electric car.
I just love this little booger. LOL, it's just a fantastic little vehicle. It's really fun to drive. It's just a great little commuter car, not a great road tripping car. You can't have everything.
GM even paid to have a professionally installed Outlet put in the house to charge it. It'll charge up fully in about seven hours with the charger I use it's great.
I live in the Seattle area and gas is very expensive here. That's why I bought it and it has saved me a lot of money so far on gas.
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience, I’m glad you’re enjoying yours!
Why wouldn't it be a great road trip car?
@@bigmacdaddy1234 it just charges slow, it'll take you about an hour to charge it up. Besides that though it's not a bad road trip car.
@@bigrr64 Slow charging means no sale for me. Thanks for letting me know.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Not questioning your decision, but just out of curiosity, how much road tripping do you do, that makes fast DC charging a must-have for you?
3:37 the green area on the left of the cluster is your battery gauge. Each of those striped sections is supposedly 5% of the battery capacity.
The battery percentage can be seen on the My Energy app in Apple CP or AA or the My Chevrolet app on your phone. Level 1 Amp setting can be saved by location in the charge settings.
Nicely done video! You got a sub from me for this video. Look forward to seeing more of your reviews.
Nice review. Can’t wait for your review on coming 2024 Chevy Equinox EV in Fall 😊
Thanks, I'm excited to review that one too!
It is true that the remaining battery percentage does not appear, but it does appear on the electronic control where the remaining miles of charge appear, the green lines go down and once they turn brown it is time to recharge. Greetings from Medellin, Colombia. I have a Bolt EUV but without the Red package which is not offered by Chevy in my country. A great option for its price.
Thx Matt, very informative. Needs rear vents. BTW: what is the status on parking them in your garage? No more fire issues?
Fire issues have been resolved after the recall that replaced faulty battery packs.
If you buy one of these, right now you get a free charger plug install or 500 evgo credits. Even though the electrics might cost a little, you get up to $1,000 in putting in an EV charger plug. this is an amazing benefit. it also comes wih level 1 & 2 chargers in the boot from what I'm told. these are hard to locate with the $7,500 (which hyundai, kia, mini, bmw, benz, any car built in japan like nissan ayria). Government is stupid usually, but giving out the $7500 only to n american manufactured cars is smart. i hope they soon exclude mexico. i had to settle on colour, but got one by monitoring the inventory site.
Thanks Matt, I really like your hands on test drive video of this Bolt EUV. I’m picking up my Summit White premier redline edition tomorrow 9/29! It had only 4 miles when I test drove it yesterday. I’m so excited!
I didn't expect that the interior still so much borrows from the Opel Corsa electric. Even after GM and Opel went their separate ways. The Instrument cluster housing is basically the same shape; the middle air vents as well are similarly narrow. The way the satnav is integrated is similar. As well as the buttons above the gear buttons (the ones for ESC, etc).
But maybe you don't see the resemblance as well as I do because I have driven a Corsa electric for half a year. (and before that the regular gas version for 1 year)
Interesting...Yeah I've never been in a Corsa, thanks for the insight!
Also 11kW AC charging.
I have put a deposit with my dealer in Montreal about four months ago... Still no news 😔 please send some EUVs upstate across the border!
GM is losing money on every Bolt they make. This is the opposite of a luxury truck and I find that kinda cool.
EVs are just for virtual signaling
They, aren't loosing any money they make tons of money on this too. Why do you think Mary Bara is so overpaid, $40mil. Salary a year, for what.
@@Karll541 bad take
@@tonyn3227 You are wrong. Trucks and SUVs are the money printers they use to make EVs this affordable. Gas sales carry all the EV development and sales.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 I'm glad you think so
That's exactly what they want you to think while they laugh their way to the Bank
Another great savings is that Chevy pays for your level 2 charging installation. I just had mine installed by QMerit and they did a great job. That’s probably another $500 to $1500 of savings depending on where your electrical panel is located.
Nice car. Minuses are battery charging time and dealers in CA are adding 2-5k to the MSRP. Sad. I like it otherwise.
Solid car it seems! Considered a regular Bolt for a bit, but went with the Cooper SE (no regrets!). Funny how the Bolt EUV has the Supercruise option, which is great for long drives, but doesn't charge fast enough to support road trips lol
The 55 kW maximum DC charge rate is because the Bolt's battery is made by LG - it's not the Ultium battery that will be in the Equinox and Tahoe EV next year. The LG battery isn't a poor quality unit, it's just that it isn't as tolerant of high-energy charging as Tesla's battery. GM wants to give owners a long warranty on the battery, and with the 55 kW maximum charge rate, the battery should still retain 80% of it's charge capacity at 100,000 miles. People with EV's that can accept charge at 150kW or more, are sacrificing long-term reliability for convenience. If you try to only charge an EV at home on L1 or L2, and only use L3 fast charging when you absolutely have to, the battery will last at least 25% longer before it drops below 80% capacity.
Another point is the current 400v battery, next gen 800v will cut half of the time
How is the drive in winter. I want to know about the range
Seems like a really solid EV for under 30k! You don't get it all, but you do get a lot, for a relatively decent price. Another solid review, especially on the interior segment!
Thanks!
28k is for the base model... he reviewed the full equipped version which is I think 38k+ (52k CAD vs 42k CAD for the base ). So if you expect to pay less than 30k... don't expect to get what he showed you.
Great job with your review!! I wonder what the 0-60?
There should an option in the setting menu for location based charging where you set your home location and when you get there you set the 12 A charging and it will stay in that option. The reason it defaults to 8 A in all other locations is so you don't pop a breaker at someone else's house if they aren't sure what else is on the circuit you're using.
Ah okay, thanks for the info!
Or just have a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed and can charge at the full 32amps.
This was the best review I’ve watched on the Bolt EUV. I recently ordered the Redline Super-cruise model at my local dealership and am really excited for it
Thanks, glad you liked the video!
Does normal hands on lane centering work when not in SuperCruise? Like in Mach-E?
Somewhat, but it’s not as good as the Mach-Es hands-on mode in my opinion.
We have a 2022 Bolt LT2 and love it.
Matt, when you say "Bolt", I hear Bullitt. Very nice.
IS it fast?
What cars has a faster 30-50 (2.5 sec) and what do they cost?
great review. Do you know if I'm unable to use the tax credit will the dealer take the credit and giv me $ off the price? Also, do you have an opinion purchasde vs lease? Thanks.
Unfortunately I'm not certain about the new rules for 2023 with the tax credit, sorry I can't help with that. Purchase vs lease will come down to how much you drive, what the deals are for each and how they treat the tax credit situation. A dealer should be able to help talk you through the numbers to figure out what's best for you.
You can assign the credit to the dealer as part of the purchase agreement but you can't make yourself eligible this way if you aren't eligible already.
At the price point and with rebates, its a very good option. No over the air updates and hope the batteries are all good.
How does the rebate work ?
@@happyhusky4283 Depends where you live…
I would buy this if I was in the market for a new car. Thanks for the informative review.
I’m glad you liked it!
I've read that the bolt euv max range of 247 actually increases up to approx 300 miles in warmer weather. Is this true?
Thanks for the great review Matt. Any way you can get your hands on the Nissan Ariya?
Thanks Arturo! I can if you’d like to see a review of one! I was on the fence about reviewing it since Nissan SUVs never do well on my channel.
Hi Matt, what happens if you run out of power on the highway? is the ride and seats comfy? is there public charging available?
why would run out of power on the highway? you get off before you run out and find chargers that are working, which can be a challenge. EV road trips are not for lazy thinkers.
Hi Bob, I discuss the ride and seats in this video but it's pretty comfortable for what it is. You won't run out of power ever unless you don't stop to charge it in time. Public charging is more plentiful in some places than others but there's over 130,000 public chargers in America currently with more being added every day.
@@MattMaranMotoring thanks!
Picked up my new 2023 Bolt Premier Redline yesterday. Only have 20 miles. Love at first sight. Only disappoint is not garage opening button. What the heck? Did Chevy forget the feature or they don’t want you to charge the vehicle in a garage in fear of a fire that can burn your house down?
Many new Chevys don’t have the garage open button now. My Colorado doesn’t, so it’s back to the ole button that came with the garage door opener. Not EV related in any way .
It looks sick I might have to go test drive one
Technically the EUV has a touch less cargo space than the EV.
Thanks Matt!
Thanks for watching Ted!
Everything here really won me over, until you got to the charging. But even with that, it's really nice to see at least one affordable electric car.
I agree!
It isn't a problem. I charged with a wall outlet for five weeks, then went to L2 because it had to park outside much of the time in Chicago winters. Five seconds to plug in and it's full by morning. But in the US right now the problem is only home owners can have an EV, so 60% of owners still need gasoline.
@@davidmccarthy6061 Many people rent homes and connected townhomes with garages, and have room to park in a driveway of their home. They could be well served by having an EV.
I saw a repoet that said the reason some EV's don't have a frunk is that the crash protection is more predictable than relying on what is stored in a frunk?
No, some EVs don't have one just because that's how they're built. This is a front wheel drive platform with all the machinery in the small front compartment and there's just no place to put one. Instead you get the "sub trunk" in the rear where the gas tank would normally be.
I heard they discontinued the chevu bolt ev. If so, why???
Best bargain out there right now.
Any risk in the fact that they are ending production after 2023?
But the bolt euv are going to the new platform so it will be charging faster now too and it will only be the euv , they are dropping the smaller bolt
to bad the dealers around here are totally ripping that mspr to shreds and tacking on demand profit. the bolt also has the battery issues hanging over their head, even though the number of bolts that caught fire are similar in number to the percentages that hyundai's bad engine fires they got a bunch of grief over.
as for affordable ev's - i look forward to more companies releasing more options in the affordable sector.
although still preproduction i have the hope for the Aptera to become available, with an attractive starting price at 26k
I am ordered a Bolt EUV and have also pre-ordered an Aptera 400-mile range w. AWD. A good combination -- Bolt for around town, then the Aptera for road-tripping.
Will your phone charge in the case?
I don’t use a case with mine so I didn’t test it but I think it will depend on what case you use.
You make it sound like there’s more cargo room in the rear end according to all my research, the extra room is in the passenger rear seat area, not the cargo room behind the backseat
You're correct, I made a mistake in this video. A few others pointed this out as well so I've pinned an earlier comment so no one else gets the wrong idea.
The other "con" with Super Cruise, that most dealers conveniently "forget" to mention... and I've actually come across several who didn't even know 🤦... is that it's only "paid for" for the first three years... after that time it becomes a subscription service 🤮
How’s the drive compared to the new Prius you drove🤔
Well since the Prius isn't electric it's a pretty different experience. Prius definitely has better handling.
@@MattMaranMotoringwhich was more fun to drive? Which one was more comfortable
@@toddbenfield6546 The instant response of the stronger electric motor in the Bolt made it more fun in a straight line, but around corners the Prius is better. I'd say they're pretty equal from a comfort standpoint. You sit lower in the Prius and higher in the Bolt EUV.
Why do you need battery percentage? ...to estimate your range?
Yeah, to know where I stand so I don’t have to rely on the unreliable fluctuating range guesstimates.
@@MattMaranMotoring LOL you think YOU can do better?
sorry, I feel like I'm trolling you now. I just have a feeling this topic was discussed by people that know more than we do and they have provided the best possible solution
@@MattMaranMotoring wouldn't a percentage also be a "guesstimate"?
For anyone who disagrees with Chevy and myself, please provide an equation and predict the potential range in miles when the battery is at a 50% state of charge ; thanks! maybe we can pull Neil deGrasse Tyson in on this discussion to help with all of the branches of physics that may come into play here; LOL
FYI: If you are reliant on public charging, the charging rates and times are really poor.
didn't GM recall 140K of these vehicles because they catch on fire?
They did and fixed the issue
2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier Redline Edition!
GM- get rid of dealerships (middleman) and sell direct like Tesla.
It’s priced like a 3 row sorento or Santa Fe and it’s in the category below them. Electric vehicles are a rich man’s game
Paying $3000 a year for fuel and maintenance is also a rich man's game. Keep the car for four years, you paid for the price difference. Keep it for ten years and you paid for the whole car.
@@fluffysheap by then you need a new battery assuming you can even get one, fuel cost is closer to 1500 on average, and given this is 10 grand more than it's competitors you're already at 8 years minimum, ignoring energy costs. If you want to shill electric at least be honest
To me the autonomous driving feature seems kind of a waste considering the short range.
i just bought one of these for my mom. she looked at cooper (115 mi range) and the Leaf (old tech, old style, old range, old old boring&dated). i've owned 3 leafs & one tesla (garbage). The Bolt EUV is better than them all. She is older and wanted the cameras¬ to pump gas. no other car for this money has all these features. the back seat is roomy. peppy car. range is amazing. i've driven 134 miles and have 129 miles range left. Could not find one with sun&sound. have redline in black. Two quibbles: the screen dims when pulling in garage at dusk & forward camera can't see (may be setting). Brake/blinker lights are legal, but low. Hard for vans/trucks to see. blinkers s/b amber. brake lights look like reflectors. safety issue. needs to be fixed as a recall. dumb. the entire car has changed my opinion of Chevy.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Who can comment on living with a Bolt EUV with kids? Will be 2 & 5 when we buy in the Spring, so little to no rear facing seats.
Damn Matt, way to make me feel poor AF.
The Niro isn't 40k... I think the base is under 30. But the lack of Tax refund make the bolt cheaper
2023 Niro EV shows it starting at $40,875 including destination on their website.
@@MattMaranMotoring You are right. I was recently looking at the hybrid versions got the prices crossed in my mind
Seems like the Cadillac design language is trickling down and it’s not translating well.
The Bolt was around long before Cadillac designed an electric car.
The leather seats in the Bolt are the most plastic-like leather you will ever find.
For 100 years everyone drives around gas cars with a fuel gauge that's accurate within 20% if you're lucky.
Now electric cars come out and don't show the exact state of charge to 0.1% and it's some sort of disaster.
EUV 0 to 60 is 7.1 sec
It drives me nuta that the government and manufacturers are forcing so much of the "active safety" garbage that most people so not want. Then at the same time they encourage you to drive with no hands or feet using "hands free" and "adaptive cruise". It sounds pretty dumb when you say it out loud doesnt it..?
and it can tow
Looks like a tiny jelly bean to me. Not like some of the others out there that have some styling . (( be careful about throwing rocks at other manufactures , the object is to help us the consumer, not to cut down others while attempting to make this electric paradigm work for all of us))
If this thing would charge at 150kw, like just about all other modern EVs, these would sell like hotcakes. There is absolutely no reason for it not to charge at those speeds. None whatsoever. Well, other than it's GM, the company that could be the Tesla of the world right now, but instead chose to crush all it's EV1s and sold the technology to big oil Texaco/Chevron which proceeded to bury it and sue any company (Toyota, Mercedes, etc.) that used it.
If it did it will cost more then 40k
This is at best a 2nd car
That's a hot car. 🔥
So hot it'll burn your house down.
I have to disagree. The Kona’s interior is pretty boring. I prefer the Bolt.
The only reason this car is a good price because GM is taking a lose on it.
Will wait for Chevy to catch up. Low charge speeds and tech that looks like 2016.
Lmao to the never mind I’m bailing comment
Bruh even the rational EVs are better in America.
Consumer Reports gave the Chevy Bolt VERY LOW marks with very low reliability and customer satisfaction ratings. I wouldn't consider one at this point, until GM gets their EV tech up in quality.
Because of the battery recall
The best thing you can do when buying a car is figure out what Consumer Reports says you should do, and then do the exact opposite
Do you still need to replace the recalled and 80% governed batteries every five minutes? Because that negates everything. I don't know if it was legacy cells being used or not but these GM EVs need these facts as a reasonable gateway to purchase.
There were no multiple recalls. One big one for a out of spec bend in the metal inside the LG Chem battery.
Dude... Everything you describe you describe as being "nice" or "really nice" or "very nice"... Are you able to actually describe things? I genuinely don't think you can say nice less than 5 times in a video.
Maybe it is🤔he’s overwhelmed of how nice/really nice the car is for the price👌and described everything pretty good
@@toddbenfield6546 it's nice of you to give the benefit of the doubt... but it's all he says on all his videos... no actual description.
Dude....be nice...😊
Doctors say, if you would to live a long health life, stress free and without worry , then never, ever, .. ever buy an .. Electric Vehicle.
Well I'm glad doctors don't specialize in automobiles
It is a sin that the best safety feature is not even an option on anything less than the Primer edition: Adaptive Cruise Control. And SuoerCruise is a $2,200 add on option again only available for type Premier edition.
This is not an objective review but rather a fan boy toy gush.
No real mention of the dreadfully slow charge time NO MATTER WHICH EDITION. There is no way you are taking a long road trip unless you take multiple days. That's not a deal breaker for me but to gloss it over in a "review"?
Did you not watch the video? I literally said the main drawback is the slow charging, and then mentioned it again repeatedly during the competitor comparisons at the end...And adaptive cruise isn't even a safety feature, it's a convenience feature, same with SuperCruise.
@@MattMaranMotoring adaptive cruise is absolutely a safety feature. One that can prevent rear end collisions for one example. Yes, I watched the video. I did skip forward and backward in 10 or 20 second increments because I wanted to give you a chance to list features which just past year were standard and now are only available on the Premier edition. Which Btw, pushes the price near or above a low end Tesla. I like type Bolt EUV. I just bought one with almost every available option. It is great for what it is - a commuter car. Impossible for trips over 500 miles.
Your haircut looks like you are about to run as a republican for the senate.
Why do they continue to design these ugly ev's ??? Can't they at least make them look decent?
I really like this in white, I've see them in other colors and really didn't like them.
Gas is better
Dirty ev’s
