2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV

-

Chevrolet has done their best to make fully electric transporta­tion an affordable possibilit­y with the Bolt EV, which receives just a few small changes for 2018.

The 2018 Bolt utilizes a directdriv­e electric motor, which delivers 200 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. of torque to the front wheels. an EPa-estimated 238 miles of range is expected from the Bolt, but due to the still-developing charging infrastruc­ture for fully electric vehicles, it is smart to plan your trips to account for charging, or the potential difficulty in finding a charging station. it’s worth noting that a standard 120-volt outlet charges the Bolt at an underwhelm­ing rate of just 4 miles per hour, so accommodat­ions will need to be made in order to charge this environmen­tally efficient vehicle in a time-efficient manner.

Thanks to a surprising­ly enjoyable driving experience, the 2018 chevrolet Bolt EV proves efficiency can be fun and relatively affordable. at $37,495, the Bolt costs less than almost all other fully electric vehicles with similar range, and that’s before state and federal incentives discount the price even more.

regardless of its drawbacks, the 2018 chevrolet Bolt is one of the best options on the market for a fully electric vehicle. make no mistake – adapting to a fully electric vehicle will require some lifestyle changes and extra planning, but if you’re willing to take the leap, the Bolt EV is a great choice.
