2019 CHEVY BOLT EV ONE MONTH OWNERSHIP REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This one-month ownership review of the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV highlights several key aspects of the electric vehicle experience. The reviewer praises the Bolt's spacious interior, noting its practicality for carrying luggage and folding seats. Positive remarks are also made about the car's exterior styling, particularly the 'nightfall gray metallic' paint and the bright LED tail lights. However, the review points out a significant drawback in the charging speed, which is noted as slower than competitors like Tesla, with a maximum of 50 kW that tapers off quickly after 50% charge. Another con mentioned is the driver's seat creaking and the carpeted dead pedal area getting dirty, necessitating all-season mats. The touchscreen responsiveness is also a minor issue, with occasional lag when loading features like the backup camera and a slight unresponsiveness when wearing touchscreen gloves. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer expresses gratitude for the availability of dealership charging stations and the overall experience of driving an EV, emphasizing the positive impact of being part of a larger movement.
