2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Customer Reviews

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Very happy to have gone fully electric. Saves us a bunch of money, and we have a gas car for longer trips, meaning this car does the in-town trips very cheaply.

• Power

  As an electric car, it has great acceleration.

Cons

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  this car is compact, yet has lots of interior space. My son is 6’ 4” and he’s very comfortable in this car. It has wonderful safety alarms, a great backup camera which makes it easy to park.

• Interior Space

  As above

• Power

  even though it’s all electric, this has the power to move.

Cons

• Ride and Handling

  this car is low to the ground and has small wheels and so I am very careful going over a rough street and avoid potholes.

Pros

• Interior Space

  Backseat has plenty of leg room for my tall friends and family

• Fuel Economy

  It feels great not to have to ride the gasoline price rollercoaster anymore.

Cons

• Reliability

  When I relocated 1700 miles I had to ship it because there are =not enough charging venues to travel interstate.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

• Reliability

• Power

Cons

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  No gas, no oil, no worries

• Value

  Cheaper than most gas economy cars

Cons

• Ride and Handling

  suspension is a bit soft and floaty

Pros

• Interior Space

  much larger than it appears

• Cabin Noise

  quiet

• Dashboard

  the dash and navigation system is user friendly and has Apple CarPlay.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  the smaller battery makes dc fast charging a little longer than other competitors on the market

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  This is my second 3rd EV, and I love them for how quiet they are (with the right tires on them: Tire noise actually becomes an issue in an EV)

• Cost to Maintain

  EV's are great for this. il changes are up at 100k miles and are in the gearbox. Most of the time you rotate the tires, install cabin air filters, and you are done. Well: Unless your sunshade tears in your sunroof.... That's warranty so it's technically not a cost.

• Ride and Handling

  In the 1.5 days I had the car before it went to live in the shop, it was so fun to drive. Reminded me in a good way of my Fiat 500e. Good handling. Nice power. Easy to park. Despite being small, was not deeply affected by road imperfections. I can't wait to get it back. Someday.

Cons

• Reliability

  I had to put this under reliability because 'build quality was not an option. The car is super nice. Everything about it. Everything but the interior sun shade. I have owned the car for months, and had it 1.5 days. The rest of the time it has been in the shop getting sun shade after sun shade installed. They keep tearing. They are designed to roll up at the back of the opening, but the mechanism rips them when they unroll. Now the parts are on national backorder. Love the car. Have not seen it in months.

• Visibility

  This is not huge issue, but the C pillar is very large. Big blind spot back that way. This is compensated for by the digital review mirror, though. That thing is so cool.

• Fuel Economy

  technically not a fuel economy issue: It's solid on sipping the battery. I get pretty close to 4 miles per KW/Hr. Or I did in the 1.5 days I had it. I just wish the battery were a little bigger. 300 miles of range instead of 250. Also, I wish it charged faster on DC fast charging. No way I would use this on a road trip. The EV6 charges in 20 minutes. This one takes an hour.
