Welcome to a New EV Era
How long does it take to charge the Chevy Bolt?
At DC public fast chargers, the Chevrolet Bolt can go from 10% to 80% in about 25 minutes. This quick charging capability, combined with access to an extensive public charging network, helps make it well-suited for both daily driving and longer-distance travel.
Experience More With Less
With an EPA-estimated range of 262 miles and access to one of the largest public charging networks, the Chevy Bolt makes anything feel possible. Spontaneous road trips and out-of-town errands? Climb into the cabin and go. A week (or more) worth of work commutes without thinking about the range? That’s something all drivers can appreciate.
Still, an impressive driving range is only a portion of the EV perks you’ll enjoy. Additional benefits include:
- Complete peace of mind: The Chevy Bolt includes an 8-year/100,000-mile Battery Warranty.
- Less routine maintenance: Fewer moving parts and mindful technology help reduce scheduled maintenance.
Driving the Bolt means never compromising on fun. Enjoy the thrill of 210 horsepower and near-instant response times, all while producing zero tailpipe emissions. Talk about a win-win!
Your Go-Anywhere Companion
From trips through the serene countryside to a night out downtown, the Chevrolet Bolt is masterfully designed to excel in every location. This electric vehicle is small and mighty yet spacious where it matters most, making it easy to maneuver through congested areas.
| Chevy Bolt Dimensions | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Length/Width/Height | 169.6/69.7/63.9 in. | ||
| Passenger Volume | 96.6 cu. ft. | ||
| Headroom (front/rear) | 40/37.8 in. | ||
| Legroom (front/rear) | 44.3/39.1 in. | ||
The Chevy engineers know that life comes with stuff—and a lot of it. Cargo volume, ranging from 16.2 to 56.3 cubic feet, makes it easy to bring essentials along for the ride. And when you need to store items in your SUV for later, the Underfloor Storage Compartment adds up to an extra four cubic feet of storage space.
Is the Chevy Bolt customizable?
Yes! First, pick between two Bolt trim levels (LT and RS). Then, browse a range of exterior paint options and distinct design choices, from seat material to wheels. With the ability to personalize details such as wheel styles, contrast stitching, and interior materials, drivers can match the Bolt to their preferred style.
I’m Here for the Vibes
There’s no getting around it: The Chevy Bolt was designed to help you stand out in a crowd. While timeless shades are offered, we’re sure you’ll be drawn to one of these four color-popping options:
- Habanero Orange
- Relic Green
- Atomic Yellow
- Marina Blue
The strategic contours and placement of the Gloss Black side details give the Bolt a constant sense of aerodynamic movement. This is especially true when you choose a metallic color, and these shades sparkle with rich depth in sunlight.
The interior of the Bolt is just as modern as its vibrant exterior color palette. The Jet Black with Blue and Gray contrast stitching adds depth with its chevron-inspired accents. For a sleeker cabin, consider upgrading from cloth to available Evotex upholstery with minimalist perforations.
Better 1 or 2?
In a world overrun by choices, the Chevrolet Bolt keeps things simple with its two trim levels: the Bolt LT and the Bolt RS. Each one delivers a unique design profile, allowing you to choose a motif that reflects your personality. Which will you choose?
- Chevy Bolt LT: There’s nothing basic about this base trim. The Bolt LT is equipped with modern features that will enhance your driving experience.
- Chevy Bolt RS: The Bolt RS ups the ante with its sport-tuned elements. Say hello to this driving dynamo!
No matter which trim level you choose, we suggest you get well-acquainted with second glances. You’ll get a ton of them when driving the Chevy Bolt.
Is the Chevrolet Bolt safe?
The Bolt comes equipped with more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Front and Rear Park Assist. Plus, with standard Teen Driver, you’ll feel even more confident when the new driver in your family is ready to fly solo.
Hello, Hands-Free
For those of us constantly on the move, we can all use a little extra me-time throughout the day. Optional heated and ventilated front seats add a layer of personalized comfort that helps ease you into a sense of calm.
Taking things to the next level, the Chevy Bolt adds Super Cruise® driver assist technology. When optionally equipped, Super Cruise® delivers hands-free driving across more than 750,000 miles of compatible North American roadways.
In addition to controlling braking and acceleration, Super Cruise® includes Automatic Lane Change, allowing your vehicle to overtake slower-moving cars on the highway with ease. As a result, you can enjoy more cabin conversation and take in more of the sights around you, leading to less driving fatigue and an overall increased enjoyment.
Internet on the Go
Life is busy and often pulls you in several directions at one time. To help streamline every moment behind the wheel, the Chevy Bolt adds essential technology that keeps you connected, informed, and entertained from Point A to Point B.
The 11.3-inch advanced infotainment display can be accessed via touch, similarly to how you do on your smartphone, or via voice, thanks to standard Google built-in capabilities. This intuitive voice search recognizes natural speech patterns and responds instantly to commands.
The combination of Wi-Fi® Hotspot capabilities and Google Assistant elevates the driving experience, allowing you to search the World Wide Web without ever typing into the browser. After speaking the command phrase, you can receive answers to common questions, receive tailored news updates, and much more without ever taking your eyes off the road.

One trip in the Chevy Bolt is all that’s needed to realize what you’ve been missing. Its impressive EV capabilities and contemporary design motif are just the beginning of how the Bolt invites you to rethink how you commute around Collierville and Memphis, TN, or Olive Branch, MS.
