BEST NON TESLA ELECTRIC CAR?

EV Channels Review

The 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premiere is reviewed as a strong contender in the non-Tesla electric car market, particularly praised for its "ideal" range of 383 km and quick acceleration (200 hp, 266 lb-ft torque). The reviewer highlights the intuitive infotainment system with clear display of range impacts and energy usage, as well as the highly customizable gauge cluster. The optional one-pedal driving, controllable via the shifter or a dedicated paddle, is a significant plus, offering maximum regenerative braking without immediately activating brake lights. However, criticisms include a "useless" energy tracking screen that cannot be reset for road trips without a full charge, a poor-resolution reverse camera, and issues with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto freezing during phone calls. The reviewer also notes significant torque steer and understeer, limiting aggressive driving. Charging etiquette is also discussed, with a debate on responsible use of public charging stations.
