2020 CHEVROLET BOLT EV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV, specifically the Premier trim, receives a mostly positive review, highlighted by its impressive range, estimated at 417 km (259 miles) thanks to improved battery chemistry. The reviewer praises its nimble handling and quiet cabin, noting its suitability for city driving. However, criticisms include the lack of power seats even on the top trim, a slightly rougher ride compared to competitors like the Nissan Leaf, and disappointing DC fast charging speeds capped at 55 kW, which is considered slow for a modern EV. The lane assist system is also flagged for being overly aggressive and prone to "ping-ponging." Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer concludes with a "big thumbs up," emphasizing the range as the standout feature and suggesting potential buyers look for discounts, especially in the US market.
