2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Reveal: First Impressions

Experts are calling the new Chevy Bolt EV a game-changer in the automotive world. First impressions of the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV will tell us just what is different as drivers are sliding behind the wheel of this eye-catching electric vehicle, which has been rolled out in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia.

The Bolt EV vs. the Competition

Two of the 2017 Bolt EV’s key differences when compared with competitors are its driving range and price. The new Bolt EV boasts a 238-mile driving range, which is greater than the range currently offered by any other plug-in except those made by the significantly more expensive Tesla—and the Bolt EV’s range is still superior to that of three of Tesla’s eight models. Price is the second standout asset of the Bolt EV, which can be purchased for $29,995 after the federal tax credit. Tesla models, on the other hand, ring in at a hefty $70,000 and up.

Consumers who have already experienced this car up-close are, naturally, impressed by its driving range. The federal tax credit is a big factor for many consumers in considering whether or not to buy the Bolt EV as well.

First Impressions

Style-wise, the Bolt EV is certainly designed to turn heads with its sculpted physique and crossover design. Here are some other first thoughts upon its reveal:

• An enclosed, flat underbody enhances aerodynamics and streamlines airflow—made possible because the car’s battery does not need air for combustion.
• The Bolt EV boasts 56.6 cubic feet of cargo space with its fold-flat rear seats lowered, and an available false floor provides even more storage space.
• Like its all-electric rivals, the Bolt EV does not have a tailpipe.
• It earned an EPA-estimated rating of 119 MPGe.
