Overview
Belonging to the subcompact hatchback segment, the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Hatchback carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a starting price of MSRP of $36,620, the Chevrolet Bolt EV offers 2 trims. This puts it in direct competition with cars like the Nissan LEAF EV and the cheaper Mitsubishi i-MiEV EV which seats only four individuals. Meanwhile, indirect rival from the compact hatchback is the Volkswagen e-Golf EV. There aren't any powertrain options to explore here. The Bolt EV is equipped with a single motor setup and a 60-kWh battery with a rated power output of 200 horsepower. Through this setup, the Bolt EV gets a range of 238 miles. In a straight line, the Bolt EV clocks a 0-60 of 6.8 seconds. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 8 beautiful colors available for the car.
