The difference between the Bolt EUV and the regular Bolt is that the latter can't carry 2x4 lumber inside unless you lay it on top of the dashboard. With the EUV you can put a few pieces through the center of the car stopping before the dashboard and still you have room to close the hatch. I have done it on a 22/23 model.
2020 Bolt and 2021 Bolt owner here. Happy as a clam. Charging to 80% doesn't hinder me at all. And GM can take as long as they want to replace mine. Since I'll eventually get new batteries, waiting just puts mileage on the old ones. I'd rather have a new battery in 3 years than tomorrow. GM could sell a million of these things if it would increase the DCFC speed.
I traded in a 2019 Leaf for a 2017 Bolt (even swap) and got a new battery in Feb 2022. Best deal ever as I now have a 260mi range battery with an 8 year warranty. Note: Even if you buy one used you are able to get the battery swapped. Takes two days. Do it. Excellent car and don't be fooled by its size: inside it is tall and roomy. My gravel bike fits without removing the front tire. Only downside: slow 50k charging
At a recent EV event in Florida, no one was interested in the Bolt versus the other cars. That’s what the Bolt EUV owner told me. I owned a 2017 Bolt. It was a good car. 2018 Tesla Model 3 now.
Same here. We had GM buy back our 2019 Bolt (thanks to California law) and used the cash to help buy our Tesla Model Y. We liked the Bolt, hated the nonsense that GM was telling us and now love our Model Y.
It is funny how time flies. When I got my Bolt and showed at an event 5 years ago, it was all the rage. The first EV besides a Tesla that got over 200 mile range. People were amazed. It had one pedal driving that brought the car to a stop, Tesla didn't have that yet. It had a 360° parking camera view, Tesla still doesn't. It had Apple carplay and Android Auto. At the time, I could buy the Bolt and a solar system for my whole house for much less than the only other available 200 mile EV (Tesla Model S). Today, most people walk right by not even noticing the Bolt. People that stop now comment: Wow, that's 5 years old, didn't even know Chevy made EVs then.
I got my Bolt in early January of 2022 and I love it. I lucked out, got it for about $18k with a brand new battery with a fresh warranty and the updated range. Great deal, I wish GM and Tesla both all the success. I just hope they get on the bidirectional charging and solar ev features soon, cause I demand both in my next vehicle. So far, the only thing on the radar for that with the range i want is the Lightyear 2 or the Aptera Gamma, if both or either of them do bidirectional charging, which they should.
Something that ought to be pointed out - GM had a second software update that limited charging to 80% in Bolt EVs. Obviously, this is not good, but the upside was that 1. Bolts with this patch applied could go back to charging and parking indoors and close to other vehicles, and 2. AFAICT zero Bolts that have the software update applied have caught fire. Part of what the update does is apply some sort of testing to the battery pack, and can flag Bolts for early replacement (this is likely the source of the 2% of 2021 and 2022 Bolts that have already undergone pack replacement). Between that and the charging limitation, it seems that GM has (fingers crossed) stopped any further fires from happening. A word about the charging limitation. If you are using your Bolt around town, and are charging it at home (as we do) the 80% charge limitation is mostly meaningless. We would likely not be charging over 80% anyway in order to be extend battery life. The range we do get out of an 80% charge is more than adequate for our local driving. In fact we usually only charge once or twice a week, because we don't need to do it any more often than that. The only time we miss having 100% charge capacity is if we are going on a long trip. But even there, the limitation only affects the first leg of any day's driving, because rapid charging sessions should only go up to 80% anyway (charge rates for over 80% SOC are too slow to be practical if you are planning to continue driving). So in the end, the 80% limitation only affects about 50 miles of any day's driving while rapid charging. Our 2021 Bolt just had its pack approved for replacement. Our local dealer has ordered the new pack, and should have it ready for us in a few weeks. Assuming the new pack works as expected, we'll have come through this pretty well. Hoping to have many years of good service from our Bolt.
If you look at famous recalls over the years, such as Takata airbags, I think you will find a much slower implementation rate. 50% replaced within the year is actually pretty good. You will find that close to 20% of ANY recall, even when covered at no cost to the owner, never get implemented. I kept waiting for the bad news in this video. Where is it? GM jumped on this recall and got half the batteries replaced in pretty short order. As an owner of a BOLT with a replaced battery, my car was in the shop for 2 days and I experienced very little inconvenience. The car has better range, replaced coolant and 5 more years of warranty coverage and hopefully a safer battery at no cost to me. All in all I got a pretty good deal here. the car, after nearly 6 years of use has been one of the best cars I ever owned and maybe the first car I will (happily) keep for more than 10 years!! I only wish the seats were more comfy.
Fellow Bolt owner and agree with everything you said here. The initial response from GM was bad, as is typical of large auto manufacturers but then they actually stepped up to the plate. I suspect in that initial response phase there was actually a lot of legal arm-wrestling with LG over responsibility and financial compensation. Very much like the Bolt and it’s been saving me thousands in gas costs since I bought brand new in 2018. I even had a situation under warranty where it and a charger tried to kill one another and they replaced the fried modules with no issues. Seriously, one day I was charging at my workplace, came out and there was an error on the charger. Didn’t think much of it, car wasn’t charged but I had enough to get home. Tried charging on a level 2 and no-go. DCFC was working ok though. Anyways that charger at work was dead, never worked again after that, since have been replaced with different manufacturer.
My 2017 Bolt is getting its new battery pack today or yesterday. I took it in Monday morning to my local dealer. Perhaps I'll get a call today to pick it up. I was never in a hurry to get it replaced anyway. The temporary software update stopped the charge at a safe lever, at75%. 99% of my driving is local, seldom more than 50 miles per use. It will be nice to have the range back for the few trips I might take needing the extra range.
My Chevy dealer ordered the battery for my 2019 Bolt EV, but told me it will take 3 days to install the battery and test it. Is this normal to leave your Bolt EV 3 days at the dealership to get a new battery replacement?
@@neo1267 my battery replacement only required 2 days and all went extremely smoothly. It’s a fairly lengthy job so I don’t think 2 days is unreasonable but 3 is. I’d inquire what the extra 3rd day is for and mention that many other owners are getting it done in 2 days. The dealer near me has done several dozen replacements so their techs are knowledgeable, if it’s a small dealership then maybe consider going to a larger one where they’ve performed more of them. In addition to potentially shorter time, they have the experience to do it correctly I’d hope.
I’m getting my new battery around New Years. Every time I called the Chevy dealer the last year they said they’d call me when they were ready. That wasn’t true. I called a few day ago and they weren’t going to do anything unless I called them.
Dealerships the old style are more and more frustrated by manufacturers. I cannot understand that with actual IT it is not possible to inform customers properly. I am driving for 54 years and remember pre IT time when my customer care person called after servicing if everything was okay or informed about new improvements coming etc. The more and more this is over letting you calling and the waiting in stupid loops of idiot call centers with 100% incompetent people. Good new future I definitely do not like!
And every day you wait to get it replaced is another day added onto the warranty of the new one. The best one I know of so far has been extended to 270,000 miles because he got it replaced at 170,000 miles. He'll hit 270k way before the additional 8 years.
Bought a used 2019 Chevy Bolt for $21K which had 9.3 K miles on it. Got a new longer range battery installed in it 9 months later for free. The car routinely gets 127 mpge. My electric company is now installing new meter for 4.7 kWh electricity to charge it. That is $1.74 a gallon equivalent. I am just not seeing the down side here, what am I missing here? Some people just will complain about anything. P.S. We have free oil changes for the life of the car.
@@neo1267 Mine was only a day, but it probably depends on how many they've done already. The swap itself is less than 3 hrs plus recalibration and charging. If you follow the discharge procedure and not charge it for 24 hrs before you bring it to them, they can start working on it right away. Some dealers don't trust the customer and let it set in the lot for 24 hrs to ensure it hasn't been charged for that period.
@@neo1267 Dealerships here in Colorado are understaffed. Two days is normal because they install on day one (unless something more urgent comes along) and then they need to run a long test.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this “Do your gearhead friends know they make more than 60 percent of their cash turn to heat and smoke by filling up the tank? Worse still, to get beat up by a Tesla on a drag strip?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The number one reason why the Bolt increased its sales is that GM lowered the price but 6,000USD! Image if Bolts dropped by over 8,859$ Aussie dollars wouldn’t you see a massive increase in sales in Australia ?!
My GM dealer told me that they ordered my 2019 Chevy Bolt EV battery, but I'm still waiting after 2 years. So, it may never happen despite GM dealer assurances.

The latest information on Tesla VS BYD North America November 16, 2022 (Wednesday) Some new information about Tesla China: 1) Orders: In the three months of July, August and September this year, more than 30,000 but less than 40,000 new orders were added every month, and more than 80,000 new orders were added in October, of which After the price cut was announced on October 24, more than 50,000 orders were added. After the announcement of insurance subsidies on November 8, orders did not increase much. This measure is mainly to promote delivery. Orders in November were not as good as in October, mainly due to the impact of the epidemic. More than 10,000 new orders were placed a week, and 70,000 new orders are expected in November as a whole. At present, China's domestic Tesla has 110,000 undelivered orders in hand, and 40,000 to 50,000 orders in hand at the end of September. The order is valid for 180 days, and the normal pick-up rate is 70%. In October, 17,000 vehicles were delivered in China, and the domestic delivery target in the fourth quarter is 120,000 vehicles. This year, 250,000 vehicles are expected to be exported. Next year, Tesla’s global sales target is 2.2 million vehicles, of which 1 million vehicles will be produced in Shanghai, China (including exports). 2) Stores: There are now more than 200 stores across the country. At the beginning, supermarkets were built to attract traffic and increase brand exposure. Later, when the popularity was sufficient, some supermarkets were closed and service centers began to be built. The cost of supermarkets is too high, and they do not have after-sales delivery functions, only display and sales functions, and some will be closed in the future. Now there are four kinds of stores: supermarket stores, service centers (pre-sales and after-sales), delivery centers (only responsible for vehicle delivery), and body painting centers (cooperative). 3) The impact of Tesla’s price reduction on competitors: Seal’s overall discount is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, some regions of Qin plus DMI have started a one-yuan package policy, Xiaopeng’s price reduction is 14,000 to 20,000 except for g9, and Wenjie terminal Drop 8000, the manufacturer tacitly agrees that the dealer can drop another 8000. .to my ....tube
