I work as a real estate agent and our office bought a Bolt. It's a great car, especially for a lot of city driving. I took a client out last weekend and after seven hours of driving (all city miles) I only used about 30% of the battery. Clients love it. It feels pretty good knowing you've spent most of your day in the car but didn't use a drop of gasoline.

A fourth way that an EV saves a lot of money, is they have almost no regular maintenance. No oil changes, no tuneups, and greatly reduced brake wear, because of the regenerative braking.

$11k used now with 30k miles. Not bad.

Thanks Brian.

i heard that the cheap plastic was used because it was lighter... and they focussed on weight to increase range, using the same rationale the door and hood are aluminum to reduce weight...

Can someone explain the obsession with soft plastic on the dash? I want soft plastic on the upper door panels, armrests, center console area, and lower dash near the knees, but the upper dash is almost never touched. It's a huge waste of more expensive material, but car reviewers seem to obsess about that area.

Finally a Bolt review on the Bolt's merits and flaws. Most Bolt reviewers are by insecure Telsa fan boy comparing it to a model S or 3 both are sport cars not wagons. A reasonable comparison would be to the new Nissan Leaf, even fairer the 2019 Leaf with it's higher range.

This is one of the best reviews I've seen and I've been watching a LOT of auto reviews lately. You talk about the pros and cons without being doting or whiney as so many other reviewers get. I'll definitely be back to watch more of your stuff.

channel keeps getting better and better. you do a great job covering the livability of the vehicles.

Two reasons why I’m getting an EV soon:

Excellent review. Clear, articulate and hitting all the right topics.

I have this car. I'm averaging 15kWh/100km, so milage is around 400km per charge. Here in BC we have hydroelectric power costing 10 cents per kWh... so roughly $6 to travel 400kms. Most 6 cylinder vehicles will consume 15litres / 100 k... so roughly $78 to travel 400 km. If you travel 15,000km per year, that's $2700 per year fuel savings. Oh, and there's no real scheduled maintenance until 240,000 km. Your F150 won't do that😀👍🇨🇦

I think this car looks really nice and is a great daily commuter, grocery store runner. I saw one in person and it was much bigger than I imagined.

This car is so popular in Norway that if you order one today you don't get one in two years.

Great review! Thank you so much. My husband and I own a Leaf and are now thinking of trading in our Prius C for a Bolt to make it a set! Your review has certainly helped answer some questions. Now I think we're going to have to go for a test drive ourselves!

well done...one other thing I'd say is when thinking EVs .. remember no more oil change or maintenance..also EVs last longer . think 8 to 10 yrs

why complain about plastic interior? people think its cheap but its last almost forever and very easy to clean

I have been have this car now 3 months and for me it's perfect.

Thanks for the exhaustive review.

This is a great review - thanks!!
