The Chevy Bolt EV is a pure electric car with lots
of standard and package features. If you’ve never
driven an electric car, you’re in for a surprise. Fuel
economy is measured in miles per charge, not per
gallon of gasoline. The Bolt is powered by an elec-
B o l t
E V
tric motor producing the equivalent of 200 horsepow-
er and 266 lb-ft of torque. Electricity is stored in a 60
kilowatt lithium-ion battery pack.
The Bolt can travel up to 238 miles on a single
charge, according to its maker Chevrolet and that’s
a believable figure given the fact that there are two
regenerative on-board charging devices.
The Bolt Premier with a retail price of $41,780
adds all the LT standard and package features plus
leather seating, upgraded 17-inch wheels, roof
rails, heated outboard rear seats, a Surround Vision
360-degree camera, ambient lighting and a rear seat
armrest.
The best compliment we can pay to the Bolt is to
say driving it is pretty unremarkable. The big differ-
ence you’ll notice is that there’s no engine noise since
there’s no engine, so you notice road and wind noise
a lot more than in a gasoline-engine car. But mostly
you just get in the Bolt and drive.
