THE 2023 CHEVROLET BOLT EUV IS A BARGAIN PRICED LONG RANGE EV

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is presented as a compellingly affordable long-range EV, particularly after a significant price reduction and eligibility for the federal tax credit, bringing its starting price under $30,000. The reviewer highlights its spacious rear seating and impressive real-world range, averaging around 250 miles, which is slightly above its EPA estimate. However, the vehicle is criticized for its narrow cabin, basic interior materials, and a semi-independent rear suspension that leads to a bouncy ride on rougher surfaces. A major drawback is the slow 50 kW DC fast charging, making longer road trips inconvenient compared to competitors. The reviewer also notes the tendency for the skinny, economy-minded tires to spin under acceleration, and the lack of an all-wheel-drive option is seen as a missed opportunity. Despite these shortcomings, the Bolt EUV's aggressive pricing makes it a strong contender for budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, long-range electric vehicle for daily use.
