On the freeway, it is best to drive the Bolt close to the speed limit in order to maximize efficiency and range. It has an advertised range of about 260 miles but this can vary up or down based on a number of factors. At this point in time, EVs are lacking in range compared to their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. With the instantaneous torque, there is little need to push the pedal to the floor besides the fun factor. Merging onto the freeway is not a problem at all. Thus far, I’ve found Normal mode to be quite sufficient. There also is Sport Mode which makes the car even more responsive at the expense of battery endurance. The paddle shifters is a bit more aggressive in slowing the car down than One Pedal Driving. One Pedal driving Mode takes a little getting use to but it feels very natural now and is what I typically use. As the name implies, depressing the accelerator pedal will cause the vehicle to accelerate while relaxing the pressure on the pedal will cause the car to decelerate as if one were pressing on the brake. The Bolt can recover energy either via a paddle shifter on the steering column, depressing the brake pedal, or selecting One Pedal Driving Mode. I am happy with the audio system and love the wide backup camera view. It is so quiet at startup, sometimes I'm not quite sure if it is on. The frequency of the blinking light provides an indication of the battery charge level. At a glance there is a light on the upper dashboard that will blink green when the car is charging or turn solid green when the car is fully charged. It takes about 7 hours with a Level 2 (240 V) charger to charge the battery from empty to full.
I do not have measurements in cubic feet but I find it be adequate but on the small side. When one closes the car doors, they feel substantial. One also sits higher off the ground than they might expect. There is much more room inside than one would anticipate at first glance. Unfortunately, there are no rear passenger air vents so it may take a little longer for temperatures in the rear seats to become comfortable in the summer and winters. It seats 4 adults comfortably, 5 may be a bit of a squeeze. It has a USB A and USB C charging port for one’s devices. It has plenty of room for trinkets and four cupholders (two front, two back). The buttons to control radio volume, air-conditioning, and other accessories are generally where you would expect them as opposed to a central screen that forces you to take your eyes off the road. The visibility in all four quadrants (front, sides, back) is excellent. I LOVE my car! There are few electric vehicles or hybrids that I find easy on the eyes and I need to like the way that my vehicle looks.
CHEVY VOLT NEAR ME MANUAL
I read that Chevy lowered the price $6,000 for the 2023 model, which is AMAZING! I highly recommend reading the manual in order to familiarize oneself with all the instrument cluster icons, `infotainment features, and safety guidelines of this vehicle. I have been making use of the lane keep assist functionality. It still comes with lots of great standard features. I wanted the Red Color in the 1LT trim and bought one even if it did not have all the bells and whistles. In fact, the day that I arrived at the dealer, five new Bolts had just arrived and 3 of them were sold that same day. My experience was all EVs were selling fast and getting more expensive. Out the door, the EV6 … would cost over $60K and the Bolt costed approximately $40K. After consulting various dealerships, the difference in cost is what persuaded me. The Kia EV6 was my first choice and the Chevy Bolt was my second more practical choice. After doing considerable research I narrowed all the options down to two choices. On May 21st, I purchased my first electric vehicle, a red Chevy Bolt and have driven about 400 miles thus far.
