In terms of features, the car has good quality blue tooth, sound system, radar, cruise control, seats, heated steering wheel, rear seat alerts, and trunk space. Mine happens to have leather seats and beautiful trim, which while it doesn’t improve function is nice for cleaning and appearances. The seats are not the most ergonomic, but it has wonderful head room and leg room, which was something I wanted since my family are all tall, the shortest being five-ten. It turns well, especially in reverse, which again is something I needed. And its drives smoothly. The thing I was most impressed with is its driving efficiency and energy regeneration. I’ve only had to fully charge it once, but for my daily commute I have been able to use the level one charger and retain what I used each day overnight. It does take a full 24 hours to charge fully on level one though only if you want 100%. The level two takes 9 hours, but if you only want 80% , which is probably better for the battery, it doesn’t take nearly that long. The Chevy app lets me monitor its charge and several other features, which is nice. And mine has the battery replacement and warranty, since this year has to be recalled to get the battery upgraded. All around this is a great car for daily commuting, but be sure to do your research about charging options in your area because that will limit its range and practicality immensely.

I am 71 and have been driving since I was 15, owning many vehicles in that time. This Chevy bolt is absolutely my favorite car. The range is fantastic, easily beating the EPA estimate by a substantial amount. Its also smooth, quiet, quick, and comfortable now that I have purchased memory foam cushions for the seats, which are not good by themselves. One of the many smart design elements is the existence of knobs and buttons on both the steering wheel and the dashboard that allow me to operate the critical controls without taking my eyes off the road. That is so much better than some other electric cars that concentrate such things a large screen off to the right and down from a normal line of sight. I also very much like the looks of the car. The one pedal driving is another favorite feature. It is also a much more accurate predictor of miles available then the last electric car that I owned, which was a Nissan Leaf. Adding a full size spare tire and an inexpensive GPS took care of the only other two flaws that this car had when I bought it. It was also a real bargain, although bargains for EVs are getting harder to find. The DC fast charge speed is slower than most newer electric cars, but on a long road trip between Main and DC, the speed was not an issue at all. I needed to stop more often for myself then for the car and would simply find places where I could plug in while using the restroom and shopping for food or walking around.

Excellent value, great condition but a shame it didn’t have DC charging.
