Black Bolt, greetings from White Bolt! :) Mine is a 2019 Premier, bought it brand new, still honeymooning with this masterpiece. I'm in Canada and my Bolt is getting prepared for its second winter, after passing the first one with flying colors. Never fails me, flies like a silent fighter jet, ridiculously cheap to maintain - my biggest expense so far has been a set of winter tires. Love my Bolt!
I think your degradation may be even lower then that, GM claimed a 60 kWh battery and many assumed a 58 kWh usable capacity, but multiple Battery teardowns have shown the capacity is actually 57 kWh as labeled by LG chem. So you actually have closer to 2-.5% degradation. WHICH IS AMAZING! Imagine after 300,000 miles the car could still be getting over 200 miles on a charge.
That's pretty cool! I'm definitely getting mine to 200K, but I'd like to upgrade to the Bolt EUV when used ones hit the market in 2 years! So unlikely to get to 300K. I'd like to see someone do it. In summer I can still get 275 miles without trying, and 295-300 if I keep off the highways! So I believe you! I'll be close to 125K when it warms up and I'm excited to see what the max range will be then.
I’m a bolt owner also, picked it over the model 3 due to used car prices it’s the best value for a 250 mile range car. I subscribed to your channel and it’s says I’m the first. I wish everyone would subscribe so you will make more videos! Thanks!
I agree with you, they are rock solid cars. I don't have any squeaks or rattles yet, and only one repair (wheel hub) probably because my main street was half potholes. It would be nice if they made them mid-size, or at least Santa Fe Sport sized. My wife on the other hand likes the Bolt how it is because it's easy to drive and park.
Nice I'm also in MN, this is good to know for this. I'm excited about chevy eCrate that hopefully drops next year with the same powertrain as the bolt.
I'm very interested in that too. I'm a car and tech guy so I like to see new things, but I think it would be really cool to retrofit EV drive trains on our favorite cars!
Hi Guys, Hope "WALMART" soon sees the advantage of having say 6x EV Charge Stations near front door of every USA Store! It is perfect blend~ Shopper now has a hour or more to shop inside!
We actually charge at our local Walmart and do our grocery shopping there because of the fast chargers. Its about 3 times more expensive than charging at home but we are having issues getting a level 2 charger on site at the condo building so we make it work
Awesome, congrats Wade it's a fun car to own! I'm getting the battery update and should be back to 100% soon. I'm at 130K miles and I think it's now 8% degradation, but I could have gone 230 miles on a 95% charge today!
Hi Renard, this is an old video I'm not going back to watch. But GM replaced the battery on everything single Bolt, so even the old ones got the bigger, improved battery. My car was bought back for nearly what I paid for it at 146K. I have videos on that process.
Thank you Very Much for sharing the video. I’m about to purchase 2017 bolt EV with about 43,000 miles so I was concerned about how high the mileage would go before degradation would set in so I’m psyched about your video thank you very very much!
You're welcome Angela, you're going to enjoy the Bolt EV. It's a fun little car and practically maintenance free! Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Black Bolt, thank you very much for sharing your research, as it is still providing valuable data to this day. I couldn't have found more useful info regarding the Bolt's battery. I have deep concerns as my new daily work commute involves 75 miles round trip (18k + miles annually) and I can't get rid of my Honda Pilot fast enough. $3600+ annual gas estimate, YIKES! I'm looking to getting an EV, and as much advice on the Bolt's battery as possible. The battery's 3 - 5 year life span (according to a dealership) is quite scary. The 100k mile warranty isn't reassuring at all as the Bolt's main purpose is that of a commuter, and mileage adds up quickly. I fear having to replace the battery ($16k - $19k) before 5 years of ownership. This is a $50k vehicle if the battery has to be replaced. Not so budget commuter friendly. Chevy should guarantee 200k miles minimum. For $50k, better EVs can be had. Did you ever get your EUV? How is it? What was the final mileage on your '17 Bolt, and how much did you get for the sale/trade in? Thanks, man!
Hey Matt, I got up to 142K miles on the Bolt EV and was still getting over 240 miles a charge (around 270) in good weather, and over 180 in Minnesota winter. I measured 7-8% degradation, and I was charging to 100% daily, and often got below 5% in winter. As a very heavy user I found the car to be 100% reliable. GM ended up giving me a buyback for almost the entire amount I paid, otherwise I was planning on going over 200K. All Bolts including the older ones should have the new battery, which has more range and an even better battery management system. I strongly recommend the Bolt. I never got the EUV because of the prolonged stop sale, but they are now available and for a really good price, around $28K! I ended up getting a 2022 Kia Niro EV for $33K retail - literally signed the papers the day before the Bolt price reduction 😢. I do like the Niro though, good car.
Can you speak a little more about the the comment claiming that the car's battery is only rated to last 3-5 years? (I've not heard anyone else or read anything like this on the Internet ?)
Thanks for sharing your experiences. 53.5/58=92.2%. 7.8% degradation - at most - is quite good. You have owned it since new? Do you always charge it to 100%? Do you use DC fast chargers regularly? Have you had any issues with the car?
Hey Dennis, thanks for watching. I bought the car in Aug 2019 with 49,010 miles. 53.5 is 95% of current capacity, so 100% is about 56.3. 56.3/58=.97 is how I calculated degradation. I charge to 100% almost daily, but it's on a setting that tops up just before I use the car, and I rarely use fast charging. Only issues I've had: replaced front left hub assembly and sensor ($600), and the radio sometimes freezes on startup, and carplay/android auto don't work. I have a video coming on why it's a good value, and I'll go more in depth on how I use it in the future. Basically I drive around 3K/month and I'd buy it again knowing what I know.
Black Bolt - I’m with you on the %, although the blinking last bar puts you very close to the bottom, I’d think. Mine (2017 owned since it had 5k miles at 3 months old) now has 55k miles on it and seems to be on the same path as yours, so I’m encouraged. I certainly have enjoyed my nearly 3 year run so far - a fun car!
@@dennislyon5412 the blinking starts with around 15 miles to go, and then gets solid. We had a week in MN last winter with highs below zero and I got it down to 1 percent! Talk about nervous!!! At -20 max range was around 136 miles. I'm NW of Minneapolis, so an airport round trip is 80 miles, plus other trips and I was sweating! I'm impressed with the car, it's too bad GM hardly markets it.
@@douglasalanthompson thanks for watching and commenting. 60Kwhr is the target capacity, but it can vary as low as 57kWh, before the buffer. With the buffer, usable energy is almost certainly below 59kWh, but you can't know the beginning amount with certainty unless you buy the car new, charge it to 100% and run down the car until it dies, which is not good! See this article for more: electricrevs.com/2018/03/29/gm-explains-57-vs-60-kwh-bolt-ev-battery-ratings/
I just got one of these with 30k miles on it. Just had the battery recall done so it has a brand new 64kw hr battery. Can’t ask for much more than that, no? 😊
@Black Bolt I am so glad to have found your channel, we are currently looking to get an EV, and have narrowed it down to the Bolt or the Ford Focus EV. I was thinking that both will be 2017 models for the same reason that you don't buy new, however, with Costco's 3K discount on new models I can get a 2020 for about 25K. What are your thoughts about getting a 2017 for $15K vs. getting a 2020 for $25K. Any suggestions? Thank you again for your work here. P.S. I love your selection of music!
At $25K I'd definitely go for a new 2020! There's enough value there with the extra range and full warranty, plus knowing that the car hasn't been abused. You also get slightly improved cameras and center screen UX. Either way it's a really good value, especially if you plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off.
@@Allan_A OK we will consider it, though everything within me revolts at buying new, considering the depreciation. But maybe some of the discounts will make that depreciation less painful.
@@mikecleveland7453 Yes, the discounts are the only reason I'd even consider it. Depreciation is a wealth thief so I'd think long about the pros and cons before making your decision. Depending on how much you drive, the extra range might not even be a factor for you, in which case used is the way to go.
How Do you check the battery degradation exactly in such a way that you know how much of the battery's life remains, which I assume directly determines it's range: For example with the Nissan Leaf, you do so via a third party combination of the Leaf Spy android application and a proprietary OBD2 sensor used simultaneously. Is there an easier way with the Chevy Bolt, if that is described in this video, I'm missing it I guess,
I’m looking to purchase a new 2022 EUV Premier. I live in middle Georgia and not concerned about snow or ice. How well does the AC and heat perform in the Bolt? Do they have a heat pump type system? Thanks
Hey Ronnie, don't think the Bolts have a heat pump, but they are very efficient so it's not a big deal. When temps are around 30 or above you won't lose much range to heat/AC, relative to EPA. For context, I averaged 4 miles/kWh year round in my Bolt EV Premier, or 240 miles a charge. Living in Minnesota that means I ran heat 5-6 months, and AC 5 months. We only get a few weeks of spring and fall - when it stops being cold it quickly becomes very hot!
Iam confused some dealers are telling me they have all the bolts from 2017 to 2022 on hold do to battery issues ., but other dealers are still selling them? Should I buy used one right now? If I buy one right now will gm replace my battery?? To prevent a fire do I charge battery to a certain percentage? Or should I just buy a used Nissan leaf?
Hey Marco, GM dealers are not supposed to sell any Bolt EV. But you can still buy them used from other places or individuals. If you get one, charge to 90% (or hilltop reserve if 2017/18). And yes, they will eventually fix the battery (if they ever have enough)! I'm in the buyback process, and I'm leaning towards the LEAF. I've done some research and the 2018 and newer don't seem to have the same battery degradation as the originals.
All electronics arrive with battery 50% full new from factory for a reason - maximum stability during storage and transit. Keep yours between 40-70% full and it will last a million miles without degradation or mileage reduction. Only let it get to 0% or 100% for a few minutes until you start charging or driving - NEVER let it sit overnight when full or empty. Google "secret life of EV battery".
It never sits overnight full. I have it timed to reach full about 10 minutes before I leave home, and usually use precondition before then. My degradation has been negligible at worst. In fall I hit 290 miles in a charge without much effort and I am approaching 110K miles!
I think anything under $20K would be a good deal. Depending on where you live you may or may not be able to find one. If you do, the 1st job is go to the dealership to get your software updates.
For extra $2K and less miles go for the Premier. It's much better than the LT, which I don't recommend. You'll appreciate the better refinement of the Premier.
Iam looming to trade my 2009 Prius touring for a 2017 Chevy bolt, however iam concert about the batteries catching on fire. Are all the bolt models like that or only certain ones? Also we will be buying a rav4 prime in that future but how would I use a bolt charger to charge a rav 4 price or viseversa? thank u
Hey Marco, GM recalled every single Bolt built for every year. From what I can find, the 2019s have the highest risk, and only one 2017 model has caught fire. When you get the Rav4 Prime, you can use the same charger you use now for the Bolt EV. If you are serious about replacing the Bolt, I recommend calling Chevy EV Concierge to explore the buyback.
Traverse is extremely comfortable and ours is also reliable. We have a Premier, I drove from Minneapolis to Dallas straight with an hour rest, and from Dallas to Minneapolis straight. I have long legs and didn't really get fatigued on either 15-hr trip. I'm sure there are nicer cars to road trip, but Traverse is the best in its class for a large family with luggage.
@@rp9674 for sure. We're really interested in the EV9. Not $750 interested, but if one pops up on a dealer lot we'll definitely think about getting rid of the Traverse and LEAF.

@@rp9674 No problem, added wiper fluid more than once. Why?
It's the only maintenance, lol. It'll break the bank 😂
@@wassiswallylokhankin191because it's funny that that's about all it needs on a regular basis
@@rp9674 Well, it also needs tire rotation once a year... which is not much of a maintenance, either.
Good results, especially seeing that you're in one of the harsher winter areas that a Bolt could exist. Thanks for sharing!

Good morning, thanks for subscribing. The Bolt is a great value pre-owned, and I have a new video talking about why coming soon!
How much did you pay for yours used?
I paid $20K in 2019, and it was worth the price. The Premier is now selling for around $15K with lower miles, so the value is incredible!
Looking to buy a Bolt many thanks for making your informative real world user videos. Subbed.
You're welcome, it's a great car and unfortunately GM isn't proactively getting people to learn about it.
Those Chevy Bolts can sure take a beating. I can't wait till they make a bigger one

It's been charging to about 95%. Depending on the temperature (it's in the 20s-30s in Minnesota), I'm getting 150-160 miles a charge.

Hi boss do u recommend some1 buys a bolt even with the recall still in effect
Hi Charles, if I could get another one for a good deal I would. But the risk is yours, even though to me it's extremely low.
With the current market price what do u think counts as a good deal
I think anything under $20K would be a good deal. Depending on where you live you may or may not be able to find one.
If you do, the 1st job is go to the dealership to get your software updates.
I would love the premier trim I found one for 22k with 26k miles and an LT for 20k with 47k miles both are 2017
For extra $2K and less miles go for the Premier. It's much better than the LT, which I don't recommend.

@@rp9674 for sure. We're really interested in the EV9. Not $750 interested, but if one pops up on a dealer lot we'll definitely think about getting rid of the Traverse and LEAF.
Exciting times!
You don’t have 100000 miles on the car. Lol
No I don't! First car this new, my brain just added the extra 100K!
That comment about Covid didn’t age well.
Omg protect yourself from COVID lol
Sure thing. I'm mostly keeping my rideshare to UberEats and DoorDash!
