Full charge fairly quickly with a home charger. Great range, easy to drive and spacious interior dimensions. Mar 17, 2024

I had a 2020 Bolt Premier on a 3 year lease. The 2017s originally had a 238 mile range with a 60 kw battery. There was a factory recall to replace the battery. The new battery is 2nd gen and 66 kw, so range is at least equal to 2020 and newer Bolts. The car drives exactly like the 2020 I lived with for 3 years. Fun, roomy, safe, and 0 maintenance. This car is equal to a Tesla in many ways, for half the cost.Feb 22, 2024
