CHEVROLET
Bolt
The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt is an electric car that provides over 230 miles of driving range per charge.
Rewriting the electric car playbook
The all-new 2017 Chevrolet
Bolt rewrites the electric car
playbook, providing over 230
miles of driving range per charge
and coming in No. 1 out of 24
compact cars rated by U.S. News
and World Report.
The latest addition to a grow-
ing class of alternative fuel ve-
hicles, the 2017 Bolt EV comes
standard with a huge 10.2-inch
touch screen, Wi-Fi hot spot ca-
pability, voice recognition, and
support for Apple CarPlay.
The Bolt starts very well-
equipped at $36,620 and comes
fully loaded at $41,885 with
things like heated front and rear
seats, forward collision warn-
ings with pedestrian detection,
and a bird’s-eye view camera.
The business end of the
2017 Chevy Bolt is its 60-kWh
lithium-ion battery pack and
200-horsepower electric motor,
which drive the Bolt’s front
wheels through a single-speed
automatic transmission. Give
the accelerator a firm press,
and the Bolt zips away from
a stop like … well, a bolt of
lightning.
Charging time depends large-
ly on which type of connection
you use. With a 240-volt outlet,
it will take nine hours for the
Bolt to reach a full charge, which
is equivalent to about 25 miles of
range per hour of charging.
