Chevrolet Bolt EV
Chevrolet promised to offer the first affordable electric vehicle with 200 miles or more of range and will exceed those expectations when the 2017 Bolt EV goes on sale later this year. With the vehicle's EPA-estimated range of 238 miles, owners can expect to go beyond their average daily driving needs - with plenty of range to spare - in the 2017 Bolt EV when charging regularly.
"Chevrolet showed the world the production version Bolt EV earlier this year and in a few short months we've moved from that vision to a reality," said GM North America President Alan Batey. "The Bolt EV is a game changer for the electric car segment and it will start to become available at Chevrolet dealerships later this year."
Chevrolet Bolt EV buyers won't be able to find a better value for an all-electric, thrill-inducing ride with an expected MSRP below $37,500 and before available federal tax credit of up to $7,500. Plenty of range, cargo space, technology and safety features make the Bolt EV a great package for any driver.
"While range is important, we knew Bolt EV owners would want more - more space and more power - and the Bolt EV delivers," said Bolt EV Chief Engineer Josh Tavel. "Our team took special pride in optimizing every aspect of this vehicle, especially its impressive range and ride dynamics."
Connectivity Simplifies Ownership Experience
The Chevrolet Bolt EV benefits directly from the suggestions and ideas of Volt owners and features technologies that make owning a long-range electric vehicle easy.
The Bolt EV's connectivity innovations will provide smart, personalized solutions for managing the driving experience. For example, in the future an accurate driving range projection will be based on the time of day, typography, weather and the owner's driving habits.
Bluetooth low-energy - designed specifically for the Bolt EV to minimize energy draw - seamlessly connects a smart phone to the car while the owner approaches the vehicle.
Many of the Chevrolet Bolt EV's driver-focused technologies are supported by OnStar 4G LTE, which turns the Bolt EV into a Wi-Fi hotspot, giving owners easier access to apps and services via a high-speed wireless connection.
Other connectivity and infotainment features include:
The Bolt EV will be built at GM's Orion (Mich.) Assembly facility, near Detroit.
