This is a 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Premier finished in Silver Ice metallic with the Dark Galvanized Grey leather interior. It runs and drives excellent at 60 mph in its present state and the A/C blows ice cold. I’ve driven it over 200 miles like this. I’m planning on rebuilding it and get a rebuilt title for it later in the year, but just tossed it on Ebay now to see if there is any interest in its current condition.
The Chevy Bolt was the first long range lower priced pure electric vehicle to sell in significant numbers. It puts out no tailpipe exhaust emissions or greenhouse gases. The Bolt is powered by a 350 volt 60 kWh lithium-ion battery pack powering a 150-kilowatt permanent-magnet synchronous AC electric motor putting out 200 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque at ZERO rpm. It’s mated to a single speed direct drive transmission connected to the front wheels. An electric motor puts out its maximum torque at ZERO rpm, and with 266 lb-ft on tap from a standing start, acceleration is rapid to say the least. 0 to 60 mph numbers are in the low 6 seconds. When combined with a smooth and seamless flow of power available from a transmission that never has to pause for a shift, along with the absence of noise from an internal combustion engine, you get a driving experience like no conventional cars can offer. You will have a grin on your face every time you step on the accelerator and leave most other cars in your wake. Think TESLA junior at a fraction of the price.
The Chevy Bolt’s powertrain combined with excellent aerodynamics and numerous energy saving features, allows it to get an amazing EPA rating of 128 mpg gas equivalent (mpge) city and 110 mpge highway, and a combined rating of 119 mpge. The Bolt electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery pack that can be recharged at home by plugging in to any standard 110-volt household outlet with the included charging cable. The Bolt can also be charged at Tesla Superchargers with a charging cable adapter for super fast charging in under an hour in most cases. If you already have a charging station at home or have a charging cable, I can take off $100 from the sale price if you don’t want the included charging cable.
This Chevy Bolt has numerous energy saving features including LED taillights, electric power steering and air conditioning, regenerative braking that makes use of energy that other cars waste while braking and coasting by recharging the battery pack, low rolling resistance tires and a host of aerodynamic tweaks. A curved front bumper, flush mounted headlights and grille and a steeply raked windshield that nearly matches the slope of the hood smoothes out airflow in front of the car. Smooth bodysides and a downward sloping roof smooth air around and over the car, and under-car airflow is aided by a nearly sealed underbody, as the aerodynamics under a car are just as important as above it. The result is a drag coefficient of 0.308, which is very good for a tall 5-passenger hatchback. Regen on Demand® allows increased deceleration while pressing a switch on the steering wheel without the need to step on the brake pedal to increase range, extend brake pad life and allow one-pedal driving.
The Chevy Bolt makes for both an excellent city car where the short length makes it easy to maneuver in crowded city streets, as well as a great highway touring car with its excellent range, spacious interior room and comfortable ride. The EPA rates the Bolt’s range at 238 miles on a charge, but that can be increased significantly by changing your driving style. Accelerating and braking smoothly along with keeping speeds under 65 mph can go far in increasing your range.
Not only is the Bolt economical to drive, it’s also economical to maintain, being as close as any car maker has come to producing a maintenance free automobile. Without a conventional internal combustion engine or multi-speed transmission, the Bolt requires no oil changes, no spark plug and plug wire replacements, no fluid filter changes, no timing belts or valve adjustments, no transmission fluid service, etc. Plus there is no exhaust system, muffler, catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, ignition coils, fuel injectors, etc. to wear out. About the only routine scheduled maintenance for the Bolt are brake fluid changes and cabin filter replacements, both of which have just been performed. And if you are into being green, then besides emitting no pollutants, the Bolt may be eligible for numerous perks such as being able to drive alone in the HOV carpool lanes without a passenger, being exempt from annual emissions inspections, free or reduced parking rates at downtown or airport parking lots, reduced annual registration fees or initial sales taxes, etc. Check your state or local government for more details.
The Bolt has many innovative features and upscale content only found in more expensive vehicles, plus a few that are not found in any others. The keyless access and start system lets you enter and start your car without ever taking a key out of your pocket or purse. When you have the remote anywhere on your person, you can open a locked door or hatch by just pressing the button on the handle. To start the car you don’t need to fumble looking for your keys either, just step on the brake and press the start button. An on-board timer can be pre-programmed to recharge the battery at a set time such as during off-peak rates to save on your electric bill. Through a smart phone app or from a computer, you can remotely turn on the air-conditioner or heater. This function can be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the car prior to use while it is still connected to a power outlet so the interior is at a comfortable temperature and less energy from the battery is used for climate control. A back up camera displays the view behind the car whenever you select reverse, and grid lines aid in parking, and this Bolt has the optional 360° Surround View camera. The bright dash-top charging indicator light lets you visually see charging progress far away from the car. The heated steering wheel and heated front seats keep you comfortable without using the more power consuming heater as much. LED taillights use less power and produce greater visibility as well as provide faster reaction times for those behind you.
The Chevy Bolt was designed to be an affordable long-range compact 5-passenger hatchback EV that improves on it’s predecessor, the Chevy Spark EV in all parameters, while taking much of the design and technology of it’s sister car, the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid, to the next level of full electric drive. From its sleek lines and sculpted design incorporating elements from premium upscale vehicles, it looks handsome from any angle without being flashy. Starting up front with a smoothly curved bumper flanked by clear lens projector beam headlights incorporating a ribbon of LED marker lights. They are surrounding the flush mounted solid grill with an engraved free-form design and the Chevy bowtie emblem in the center. Below that, a secondary matching grille is inset into a matte black surround with a conventional air intake below it. Continuing back, notice how the angle of the hood closely matches that of the windshield to minimize wind resistance, and along the sides, notice how the front and rear wheels are positioned as far forward and backward as possible to enhance interior room as well as improve handling and ride comfort. Large matte-black wheel opening moldings enhance visual interest and add protection from door dings, and matching rocker moldings with chrome strips fend off rock chips. On top, you notice the roof angle dropping the farther you go back, and a body color sharkfin antenna at the rear adds some Euro styling. A body color spoiler aids airflow and body color door handles complete the monochromatic appearance. Out back, a center mounted LED brake light is incorporated into the spoiler while large LED taillights give drivers behind you better visibility. A chrome accent molding in the bumper matches the ones in the rockers for some bling, and a matte-black diffuser below the bumper working in conjunction with the spoiler, help aerodynamics.
The exterior is beautiful to look at, but if you like the latest high-tech look, the interior design is handsome as well. Open the door and admire the dark gray seat leather seats and sporty contrasting red stitching. Get in and sit down into a bucket seat that adjusts to the perfect driving position with settings for height adjustment and recline. Note the side bolsters on both the backs and the cushions to keep you in position on curving roads. Check out how comfortable the cushions feel and how the upright seating position gives you a commanding view of the road out from the windshield. Then adjust the tilt and telescoping steering wheel to achieve complete driving control. Notice how the thickly padded leather wrapped rim and finger holds affords just the right grip and that the cruise control and Multi-information switches are just a fingertip away. Next, look ahead at the instrument cluster with the color Multi-Information Display. Look to the center of the dash at the large touch screen infotainment screen and its clean high resolution display. Now look right and left at the chrome and piano black trim on the door panels and center console. Press the buttons for the radio, cruise control or windows. Lastly, notice the ivory trim in the instrument panel. Not only is the styling very handsome, but all the textures have a rich feel and look and all the switchgear have a precise soft touch action. From the soft leather upholstery, the graining pattern on the dash and door panels, or the layout of the knobs and switches on the dash, everything looks and feels like it came from a more expensive car.
Next, take it for a spin. Without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse, press the chrome button in the door handle to unlock the car. Open the door and sit down into the comfortable bucket seat. Adjust it fore and aft, up or down and for seatback recline. And again, without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse, step on the brake pedal and press the POWER button. Notice the quiet as the splash screens illuminate and the car powers up. After putting your seatbelt on, put it into reverse to back out. See how clearly the backup camera shows the view behind as well as around the car in the touch-screen display and the grid lines aid in tight spots. Now put it in drive and step on the gas, err…, accelerator pedal and feel how rapidly and silently the car accelerates. Be careful the first time as you may chirp the tires. If you want even more responsiveness, press the SPORT button in the dash to maximize power. Find a winding road with some sharp curves and feel how well the side bolsters keep you firmly in place and how the suspension hugs the pavement. Drive over some bumps and see how the suspension gives a secure yet comfortable ride. At the next traffic light, step on the brakes and feel how smoothly they perform with no pedal pulsations or pulling to one side and notice the steering wheel is on dead center with no pulling to one side. Now get on the highway and notice how easily it keeps up with traffic. 70 or 80 mph in total comfort. So whether on congested city streets, open highways, or twisting mountain roads, you will be amazed how smooth and comfortable this Chevy Bolt is to drive.
