The Chevy Bolt Represents the Best of EV Technology

Today, there are many all-electric vehicles on the market. The Chevy Bolt brings the electric car to the masses. Its ability to drive long distances between charges and its relatively low cost make it a great option for your next vehicle. Let’s take a look at some of the Chevy Bolt’s features that make it a serious contender in the EV category.

Going the Distance

The Chevy Bolt EV is definitely one of the best options available today for an everyday electric vehicle. With its ability to drive 238 miles on a full charge, you can take it just about anywhere. This impressive hatchback will get you where you need to go, and it’s great for road trips. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge at a 240-volt home or public charging station. You can also use a standard 120-volt wall outlet in an emergency, but doing so will take longer.

Electric vehicles require much less maintenance than a gas vehicle. This means you have more time to do what you like. A few things you’ll need to do to properly maintain your Chevy Bolt include rotating its tires about every 7,500 miles, replacing your cabin air filter every 22,500 miles, and regularly checking your brakes, hoses, and fluid levels. You can have all these services done at our service center.

Style and Technology

You’ll get where you’re going in style and comfort in the spacious yet practical Chevy Bolt. Although the Bolt is compact, you will find plenty of room in the underfloor storage in the cargo area. With 56.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded down, you can bring everything you need for your next adventure. This compact car can seat five comfortably, which makes it a great option for small families.

Technology is important, and we all need to stay connected, even in the car. While the Bolt doesn’t offer an onboard navigation system, it does offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can use your phone to help you get where you need to be.

You’ll also love Chevy’s MyLink infotainment system. This feature boasts satellite radio, Bluetooth, calling and audio streaming, and USB connectivity for audio playback. All these features are displayed on a large 10.2-inch color touch screen.

Safety First

Chevy wants to make sure its drivers are both comfortable and, more importantly, safe. Because of the brand’s commitment to safety, the Chevy Bolt EV has earned a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. You will find a solid suite of driver-assistance technologies on this vehicle. Features like automatic high-beams and rear parking sensors, forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitor, and rear cross-traffic alert make the new Chevy Bolt a safe choice.

The all-electric vehicle has come a long way over the past couple of years. Why not take one for a test drive to see if it’s the right car for your lifestyle.
