WE BOUGHT A 2019 CHEVY BOLT EV! - ELECTRIC CAR OVERVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer introduces their new 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV LT, acquired after two weeks and nearly 1000 miles. They highlight the Bolt's 238-mile EPA-rated range and its functional hatchback design. Positives include the attractive exterior styling, particularly the Nightfall Gray Metallic paint with its iridescent hue, and the black grille with Chevy bow ties. The interior is praised for its modern cloth seats and a minimalist dashboard featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The reviewer appreciates the regenerative braking system ('L' mode) for its efficiency. However, a significant drawback noted is the use of incandescent turn signals and reverse lights, which the reviewer feels should be LEDs in an electric vehicle, especially given the model year. The optional DC fast charging is also criticized for being a costly add-on. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer expresses gratitude for finally owning an EV and plans to produce more content on the vehicle.
