The 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV is the Best Deal in Electric Cars!

Chevy Bolt EUV, shot on Pixel 7 Pro!

As a lifetime Android user, I hate to admit it, but I think the audio quality from the mic on an iPhone is better than the Pixel used to record this video. 😅

My dad is a rideshare driver, and I recently convinced him to purchase the Bolt EUV for his business. Uber offers a 2000 discount on the car. Their website says 2022, but the dealers can look it up on their system for 2023. Chevy also offers free lv.2 charging installation (hardwired or a NEMA 14-50 outlet). My dad can use up to $1000 in gas a month, so this should significantly reduce his expense on fuel. So much so that it's almost like being paid to drive electric. Thanks for bringing more attention to the Bolt EUV.

An engineer colleague of mine called out the original Chevy Bolt as vastly overlooked maybe 5 years ago. He noted they have active cooling on their battery system while the Nissan Leafs were starting to show their issues with passive cooling. The size was still a challenge for me, but here we are with the EUV. Great to see this create a solid option at the more affordable end of the spectrum.

I'm sold. This is what's needed, down-to-earth explanations of what you're buying. Forget the racing specs everyone tries to sell you on, basic A to B with niceties is it!

As a 2022 Bolt EV owner, something I wish you'd mentioned (especially since you talked about the rear lights specifically) is that the new Bolts don't have amber rear turn signals. Instead, the rear brake lights double as turn signals, which has been proven to be *less safe* by the NHTSA, and is not allowed in most of the world, but for cars designed to only sell in North America manufacturers will often take that shortcut.

It's a small thing, but I think bringing more attention to it in reviews like these might help make it a less common practice.

While I was tempted by the Ioniq 5, the Bolt was the only car that wasn’t hugely marked up and at top end $35k get heated/cooled seats, 3D camera, wireless phone charging and CarPlay. Plenty of quick 0-30mph and I’m getting 4.3 miles per kWh. About 270 range driving it even accelerating hard often.

I have a 2017 Chevy Bolt LT and has been the best driving experience of my life. 0$ spent on maintenance besides changing tires.
50$ on my electric bill per month to drive 800 miles. Very comfortable and quiet.
I have saved estimated $5, 000 just in gas savings. Not to mention the No cost on maintenance. With that money I was able to move out of state and start over in my dream location.

Honestly highly recommend even a used model.
Its also very fast 💨

The user interface with physical buttons interface is just awesome. The UI is familiar to most users and overall I really love the effort put into this car.

My husband and I bought an EUV earlier this year and love it! Ours is the LT trim (most of the same things but no 360 cam and no super cruise) and it totalled $28k. I'm 6'4 and love the amount of room it has, it's also surprisingly quick. It's my husband's daily driver and he uses it to drive for Uber. More people need to know how great of a car it is 😊

"When I finally parked it(Bolt) at my home charging station, it had gone 322 miles on a single charge. Not bad for a car rated at 238 miles per charge. Even more impressive was the fact that I didn't really try very hard to get that many miles out of it. I spent plenty of time in traffic, which helped, but there were a few sections that I was moving along at 65-70 mph as well. No matter how you look at it, 322 miles out of a Bolt is pretty impressive." — Ed Hellwig Edmund's

Ive been so excited to see this on the road. This is the first genuine try at an affordable EV with genuinely respectable range and features. Really glad to see one of the OEMs start to take this EV thing seriously, and with intention to keep it going.

[zackatworkshhh]

I don't own a car with one, but I like the idea of using a dial to navigate the touch screen. Physical interfaces are easier to learn muscle memory with, making it easier to keep your eyes on the road. Not having to reach as far is nice too. It's a non issue when you're stopped, but I'm sure everyone can attest to when they've "had" to use a touch screen while their vehicle is moving.

[mattkeysme]

We bought this, with all features except bluecruise. We've had it for about 2 months now and we love it. Bought it for pretty much all the reasons stated in this video, its a really practical car, with great features, at a great price. Love the hatchback format you can fit/move a lot more stuff than you would think. The miles on a charge has been fantastic for us. In warm weather with moderate freeway driving we easily exceed the rated 240miles on a full charge. We only charge it up to 80% in normal circumstances and we get about 240 miles on that.

EVs like this and the leaf are definitely very important for the adoption of EVs. Too many EVs are reviewed poorly and usually only against a Tesla. But guess what, most people won’t miss what the more expensive Tesla has. The Bolt and Leaf can do the school run, the commute to work and maybe stopping by the supermarket on the way back and then charge overnight at home (assuming you have the ability to. And you can save money on the Bolt by not having the heated seats at the back because if Timmy doesn’t like it, he could just take the bus

One of the simplest and most compelling reviews I’ve watched about this vehicle. Nice job

[marcdif]

So glad to see Marques covering the Bolt. I’ve had the EUV since May and it’s been fantastic. Only problems I’ve run into are with the dealership service department lol. But the car itself is great and suits my needs. I don’t do a ton of long distance driving which helps, but for quick trips around town I regularly get 270-300 miles on one charge. Unless the AC/Heat is turned on 😅

Thank you for making a video with a more affordable car, really appreciate it. Thank you for that in depth review. It is really nice to see that one can get an ev without fomo about all those famous ev-features. It is so nice to see affordable evs that get it just right in a market of overpriced pretend-luxury.
Edit: I just noticed that there are two variants: EUV and EV. Maybe you can take a look at the "non-SUV"-variant too?

Thank you for all the effort you put in those videos. I really enjoy this channel

[venom]

High key impressed with this car than any other EV you have made a video about! For that price, that's crazy. Not too shabby Chevy

[voiddoctor]

I carpooled to school with my friend in the back seat if this car for a year. The back seat experience is genuinely pretty great for the car's size.

I think the knob scroll is pretty neat. I know in the winter when I have gloves on I can't use my car's touchscreen since it doesn't register. So the knob can be pretty handy
