2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV for its fun driving experience, impressive features, and smooth ride. Many appreciate its responsiveness and versatility, especially for city driving. However, some drivers have expressed dislike for the dashboard's light gray color, which affects visibility. Despite a few minor issues, the Bolt is frequently recommended for its practicality and the benefits of driving an electric vehicle."
I honestly cannot read about this car anymore than I have. First of all as someone who is 64, it has been a struggle and a half to find an EV that I can comfortably drive and fit into. Both are accomplished here, the fact that this car makes driving fun again. It has all the bells and whistles that one could ever want in a vehicle, well also not trying to gouge me for every nickel and dime that I have. I have never been this happy in a car in as long as I can remember. If you are budget conscious, a little bit bougie, or just want to show off while being on a budget. This car is for you just make sure you get the forward collision, the parking assist, and deluxe cruise control. If you get one with a replaced battery it goes 297 mile range. Yay!
May 18, 2024The Bolt is an excellent city run-around vehicle. Quick and nimble. Very versatile. Anyone thinking about an EV a Bolt is a good intro. A note on the battery issue you may have heard about: the recall Chevrolet issued took care of it. Most cars should have already had the recall performed. The main traction battery gets replaced with a brand new battery with a brand new 8 year warranty! The new battery is actually a little bigger than the original so you get the benefit of slightly more range. But range will never be an issue; this car has plenty. You wont miss not ever having to visit a gas station again.

October 26, 2021Ive already left a detailed report on my 2018 Bolt, but I forgot one of my pet peeves which is that the dashboard is a light gray. That limits my visibility to about 50% of what it should be. The now-defunct dealer which I purchased my car from (for nearly $47K) never addressed my request for a dashboard liner which would cut down on the reflection. I fashioned a liner of black felt for myself and that helped a great deal. Still, I love this car and it should be given its due.
October 12, 2023Love my Bolt! Fun to drive, very responsive . There is a learning curve to having an electric car but it is easy to figure out. Not a lot of luxury but its comfy and has some really cool features. My daughter has a BMW EV and I like the Bolt better. More features and well thought out. The Drive/Low option is nice if you want to do a little highway driving.
