Performance
Effortless Power
Unlike many other vehicles out there, the Chevy Bolt EV doesn't have multiple power plants or engine configurations. This is because it's not powered by a traditional internal combustion engine but rather a 65 kWh battery pack that contains 288 lithium-ion cells. This rechargeable battery pack provides power to a permanent magnet electric drive motor that propels the vehicle.
The electric motor is designed to offer comprehensive front-wheel drive performance without the noise, vibrations, or rumble of a typical internal combustion engine. At the same time, it also delivers impressive acceleration thanks to the instantaneous output of 266 lb-ft of torque. The entire powertrain delivers 200 hp, so you have quick acceleration and sporty top-end performance for a subcompact.
Easy Charging
When it comes to the overall travel distance provided by the permanent electric motor and battery pack, you can expect an estimated range of 259 miles. Thanks to the Bolt EV being all-electric, you never have to worry about rising gas prices again. Rather than visiting the gas station, the vehicle can be recharged in many ways, including Level 1 charging from any standard 120-volt wall socket, Level 2 charging from a charging station, or Level 3 DC Fast Charging.
With basic Level 1 charging, you can regain approximately four miles of range per hour. For those who want quicker charging, there is Level 2 charging, which is possible at a public charging station or from a 240-volt home charger. With a Level 2 charger, you can replenish 39 miles of range per hour and fully charge the vehicle in seven hours. Finally, you can use a DC Fast Charger if you want the quickest charge possible. This supercharges the battery capacity, adding up to 100 miles in just 30 minutes, making it an excellent option for those who want a method to get the Bolt EV charged up and back on the road quickly.
Technology
Making Your Drive Better
Technology plays a huge role in the overall feature set of the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV. You have a large suite of safety, comfort, and infotainment features that make the Bolt EV a great all-around vehicle. You get standard driver-assist features right out of the gate with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, making this car one of the safest options on the road at its price point. Chevy Safety Assist comes standard with Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high beams. Teen Driver also comes standard. At every step of the driving process, whether in the city or on the highway, the Bolt EV has the necessary safety features to help keep you alert and safe on the road.
Screens and Sound
You will find that the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV comes equipped with both a digital driver information display and an HD color touchscreen. With the digital driver information display, you can access all of the vehicle's telematics. You can modify the information display to use various vehicle features, from media access to phone connectivity, navigation support, and vehicle health. For more in-depth infotainment functionality, the 10.2-inch HD touchscreen offers access to apps, media, and more from the center console display. You can also connect your smartphone to the Bolt EV thanks to the implementation of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it possible to quickly access your favorite media through the infotainment suite.
You can even use the center display to check and modify the energy consumption of the Bolt EV, as you get readouts on the charge status and how much the charge will be affected based on your driving style and vehicle settings. Bluetooth connectivity, voice command pass-through, and Wi-Fi hotspot support are also included. With the available Infotainment Package, you can take advantage of a Bose seven-speaker surround sound setup and wireless charging for your smart device. The package also includes two additional USB charging ports for the rear passengers. The tech, safety, and infotainment options are all streamlined and easy to utilize within the Bolt EV, which is one of its best features.
Convenience
A Versatile Design
The 2023 Bolt EV isn't just about being a tech-rich subcompact EV. It's also about providing passengers with a lot of great conveniences and comfort features to make the ride feel enriching, smooth, and fun. The perforated, jet-black leather-appointed seat trim provides a great sense of luxury appeal for the economy-priced EV. In contrast, the 16.6 cu.ft. of cargo volume in the rear behind the second row provides storage for various items. However, with the rear seats folded, you can make use of up to 56.9 cu.ft. of cargo space. The additional hidden cargo compartment underneath the main storage compartment means you can keep items protected if you're traveling with fragile cargo.
The available accessories like floor mats and the rear cargo net help further add to the Bolt EV's functionality. You also have storage compartments all throughout the interior. This includes door storage, center console storage, cupholders, side storage along the center console, and map pockets on the front seat backs. A heated steering wheel and heated front seats work well to keep you warm in the winter.
The 2023 Chevy Bolt EV also features HD Surround Vision, so you can get a clear view of all sides of the vehicle, making it easier than ever to back in or parallel park. You can also make use of other convenience features, such as keyless open, remote start, and push-to-start, so you don't have to worry about fumbling around with keys to get in and out of the vehicle. With automatic climate control and steering-wheel-mounted media controls, everything is made as accessible as possible while removing much of the effort of trying to configure the Bolt EV to meet your standards.
