Even less in some areas... around $16-18k for the used 2017s or $25-$27k for the extra range and a few hardware upgrades in a new 2020. Either way, easily the most affordable EV with ~250 miles range available right now.
Ah, the Model 3 was announced perhaps in 2017 but it didn't reach customers until last year. The one thing the Bolt still has over all other EV's is that it's available in every state, no waiting.
Love my 2020 Bolt EV. Have 10,000 on her since January 2020. Around town always 290 miles to charge. Hwy 245 miles to charge while cruising at 75 mph. Great value overall.
Nice review. Another advantage I bet is not only are the panels straight, but I bet you can get body work done much easier and for much less and much faster than a Tesla. That also goes for being able to pull into any Chevy dealer and get work done on the Bolt.
"When I finally parked it(Bolt) at my home charging station, it had gone 322 miles on a single charge. Not bad for a car rated at 238 miles per charge. Even more impressive was the fact that I didn't really try very hard to get that many miles out of it. I spent plenty of time in traffic, which helped, but there were a few sections that I was moving along at 65-70 mph as well. No matter how you look at it, 322 miles out of a Bolt is pretty impressive." - Ed Hellwig Edmund's
4:47 -- So they didn't manage to fix the _one_ _thing_ that _everybody_ was criticizing Bolt for ever since it came out three years ago? What is that about? Tone deaf middle management? They manage to improve the range: great and somewhat expected.But they leave crappy seats in a $40k-plus vehicle? I just don't get it.
My daughter has one and after several drives I agree that it is good value has great performance and range. Unfortunately for me the front seats are a show stopper. I wouldn’t last more than an hour on a trip. It would be an easy fix GM!
Good review, but got the regen totally wrong. The brake pedal only controls the friction brakes. What you are seeing is regen from lifting off in drive, when in drive and you lift off the throttle there is mild regen (like normal engine braking). People want to know how “low mode” work and the steering wheel paddle work. That is where regenerative braking comes from.
I have been reading and listening to all the reviews and the time is right to buy an electric car The Chevy Bolt is the way to go great range good quality and from a mainstream manufacturer.I’ve always been a Chevy fan I currently own a 2020 Equinox and love it I need a second car and the Chevy Bolt will be a perfect fit
This car looks cheaply made. GM continues to follow their old formula, screw customers out of money as much as possible while offering limited value. For 43k, get a Tesla and you'll be much happier with your choice. Consumers finally have real choice when it comes to electric cars and GM has significant catching up to do if they wish to remain competitive in today's marketplace.
@@kevinr6871 You can buy a Bolt used for around $21-$24k right now, or new for $27-$30k. Cheapest new Model 3 is $38k. The EV value for the Bolt is undeniable.
@@kevinr6871 - Similarly equipped, the Model 3 is 1.5 to 2 times the price of the Bolt. I know this as fact as I just cross-shopped the two before buying the Bolt. If you want a Model 3 and are willing to pay the price premium, by all means buy one. But don't try to fool yourself or anyone else into thinking that the Tesla costs anything close to the same price as the Bolt.
make sure you actually drive one. the seats are idiotic and the steering braking and handling are very poor and no im not wrongly comparing it to a performance car!
You'll definitely pay about $9K to $10K more for a Kona. Also, it is only available in CARB states for U.S. buyers. If you live in or next to a CARB state it may not be a big deal, but for me the nearest CARB state is over 1,500 miles away.
I'm looking for a used EV. I can find a 2017 Bolt Premier for right around $22k out the door in Michigan. If I could find a model 3 for $26k I'd buy it in a heartbeat. After test-driving a Bolt Premier 2017 this past weekend, I have nothing new to report. It's fun to drive, competent at everything, needs grippier tires, and needs a replacement driver's seat if you plan on ever sitting in the car for more than an hour. Road noise was a little more than I was expecting. The ride comfort on our shitty Livonia, MI roads was rough but not unreasonable. Summary: a great $20K car, not a great $40k car.
I just learned a little while ago that car manufacturer’s offset their carbon footprint against years of service. As in 12 years or so many miles. Please do correct me if that’s wrong. It’s interesting.
I bought a 2020 Bolt a couple of months ago. Fantastic little car. With the new 2022's now shipping, the deals are great on unsold earlier models. I like the looks, and the range and handling make up for the, frankly, crap Interior.
Electric car road trips without the supercharger network remain an ordeal. Hard to justify buying a car compromised in this way when the price is close to a Model 3.
Don’t forget local incentives, making the Bolt much less expensive than a Model 3. LT models can be found in the $23-25k range with Premier models well under $30k.
Alan Bowers Here in the northeast the bolt LT is not going for $23k but closer to 25k and not out-the-door after local incentives + you have to add freight, tax, tags and the incentives/ rebates are taxed as well. Source, my father in-law is the manager at a Chevy dealership. I own a Tesla 3 performance and a bolt ev . The Tesla is far superior from a drivers experience and tech, definitely worth the extra cost (even compared to the base Tesla3)if you can swing it. The bolt is a simple “A to B” car. It’s fairly roomy but still not very comfortable. Should be reliable compared to your average ICE car. I’m still not getting anywhere near the advertised range in the bolt but I do in the Tesla.
Currently it isn't priced close to the Model 3. You can't compare any car's MSRP to a Tesla where there are no manufacturer rebates and dealer discounting from Tesla and it is pretty much a given for every other car manufacturer. No one is paying anywhere close to MSRP on the Bolt. You can pretty much take off $10K minimum off the price of a new Bolt with current GM/Dealer discounts/rebates. With that said, you are 100% correct about long distance traveling. The Bolt is a great commuter car and a good regional vehicle. I probably wouldn't plan on traveling with it on trips over 250 miles one way. It can do it just fine, especially if you're traveling via Interstates you will have pretty darn good coverage from Electrify America. The biggest issue is the Bolt's DCFC caps out at 55kWh. So your stops are going to be 45 minutes to an hour each time for DCFC charging every 180 to 220 miles. Compared to a Tesla or Porsche Taycan charging at 200kWh or higher on EA 350kWh charger where the same range will charge at 15 to 20 minutes.
Driving Sports TV you haven’t watched plug and play ev’s videos of traveling 4000 miles round trip from Boston to Austin Texas . He used mostly elecrifyamerica.com and a few from ChargePoint. Nikkki from transport evolved drove her bolt from Oregon to Texas and back. Tesla is not the only game in town contrary to what people in RUclips videos say that have not looked a a map or paid attention to lots of bolt owners going on long trips. News columns on RUclips drive all over the big state of California and he has show that you can drive from La to Vegas with no problem in a bolt. He has a video of him and Alex Venz doing it together. Alex took his model 3
It did, their final phase out period for $1,875 of credit ended 3/31/2020. If you purchase any qualifying Chevrolet after that date you won't qualify for any U.S. Federal tax credit. You may still qualify for a state credit depending on your state.
Handling vs Model 3? I test drove Bolt, got back in my e-Golf and went "nah" -- it's not as tight at all. I did not think I would find Bolt as enjoyable to drive. Also, the regen was much less smooth than e-Golf or i3, there was a weird low sound or vibration. Maybe they fixed that for 2020?
I'm not sure why anyone would want built-in car navigation from just about anyone other than Tesla, Apple & Android navigation is a much better option -- that's a plus for me on this car.
The Bolt has been recalled now for battery fires. GM's solution is to limit battery life to 90%, which is not a solution. People who bought a Bolt didn't expect a 10% loss in battery life in the first year. The battery was made by LG Chem and the past three years of the company's history has been downright frightening. They also make the Hyundai Kona's battery packs, and that has seen fires too. Multiple LG Chem factories have seen explosions and fires over the past year. I wouldn't be surprised if this became like a major scandal like Takata airbags.
I totally agree. The bolt fully loaded should be worth no more than 28k (before incentives). The standard model 3 destroys the bolt in every single way.
Whether we did or didn’t, it honestly doesn’t matter. Wide-open throttle overrides any drive mode to be “sport” essentially. That’s true on almost every car made today.
@@drivingsports As an owner of a Volt I can guarantee you that it makes a very real difference. It is a false assertion that flooring the peddle overrides the cars power mapping.
GM heard your complaint. 🥳 Right now they offer $8,500 off. You can get your brand new fully loaded Bolt for $35,000 but with little negotiating, you could get it for less.
That is a no for me! The bolt fully loaded is worth no more than $28k before incentives. If you could buy a new fully loaded bolt with the incentives for 20k, then we might be talking.
My ford fusion hybrid has adaptive cruise control tf, Chevy are penny pushers especially how unreliable they are, no cooled seats, no powers seats, no memory seats, no sunroof get tf outta here. It's not worth it... Get a fucking tesla
I do enjoy your reviews but as you have an international audience you should really provide your units in metric (km, Nm, kW, litres etc) but if you must cater for the 4 countries of the world who still use imperial units, perhaps provide both. It takes so long to watch each episode because I have to pause and convert HP to kW, lb-ft to Nm and cubic feet to litres. It’s exhausting. The units you use are meaningless to most people who are not North American.
The Chevy Bolt: For when you want to drive an electric version of the Spark or updated Aveo, for the price of an SUV, and half the mile range of a gas engine car. 🤣 I would buy this car, at that trim level for maybe $22-23k. Not $43k.
Fortunately no one pays MSRP except Tesla buyers. After GM discounts and dealer discounts most 2020 Premiers are going between $30K and $32K. LT's are going for around $26K. I 100% agree that if you had to pay $40K or more for this car, and could, then just get a Tesla.

Bolt has active thermal management of the batteries, which is why you can expect them to last. Leaf uses passive air thermal management, which is to say "no management" and that's why their batteries are failing in some climates.
The concept version looked so much better -- without that damn plastic fake grille on the front. It was a mistake, made to try to make Bolt look more like other Chevy models: a classic marketing error. GM could have sold this as " _totally_ _different_ to any other Chevy you've ever driven!"
Redstone it is not more expensive than a 3 pay attention. Chevy is taking 8500 to 12000 off the car. Tesla gives zero discounts. And if you want a 2017 or 18 bolt you get get one from 19,000 to 25000
Redstone you are comparing a luxury class model 3 to a non luxury bolt. No one has sentry mode not just a Bolt owner. I don’t want or need it. What bolt owners do have is a better paint job , less defects right out of the factory and it can be taken if needed to almost any Chevy dealer and you don’t have to drive miles away to another state to get service. Price of Tesla repairs as shown by Tesla owners are very high. Sandy Munro said he has never seen a paint job that bad.
@@markfitzpatrick6692 sounds like Tesla envy on your part. This car is terrible and won't have much of a market anyway. This is why GM has less than half of Tesla's market cap today, they build ugly, low-quality vehicles and then try to attack competitors who are simply better.

Electric car road trips without the supercharger network remain an ordeal. Hard to justify buying a car compromised in this way when the price is close to a Model 3.
