This car is impressive for a sub-$30,000 EV. Its power comes from a 65-kilowatt-hour lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack, which Chevrolet says is good for 255 miles on a full charge. That’s a modest boost over the last Bolt EV and enough for most daily use, especially when paired with charging that’s now genuinely fast — up to 150 kilowatts, with a top-up from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes.
Chevrolet includes a CCS adapter for older chargers, and there’s a native NACS port, meaning Tesla Supercharger access is built in from Day 1. The Bolt’s new bidirectional charging setup allows it to output up to 9.6 kilowatts of power, letting owners feed electricity back into their homes during outages or peak hours.
Performance should feel lively, too. The front-wheel-drive setup puts out 210 horsepower, while regenerative braking can be adjusted between low, high or blended modes for a more tailored feel behind the wheel. Optional Super Cruise hands-free driving brings semi-autonomous highway capability.
