I Was SHOCKED: The NEW 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV Is TRULY Incredible Value!

[@AnalogueKid2112]

I've had my '23 EUV for about two months now, approaching 2000 miles. It is really a fantastic car and I enjoy driving it. I will quibble with one point Tommy made though: I think the ride is a bit too soft. Over larger undulations, it isn't as controlled as I'd like coming from driving recent Ford and VW products. Still, while the car isn't conventionally sporty it somehow manages to be fun to drive. If you're thinking about buying one, I highly recommend it.

[@rocketosaurus2619]

I have a '22 EUV and couldn't agree more. Fun and very easy to drive but stiffer dampers would go a long way to settle down the ride.

I leased a '22 EUV over the summer and couldn't be happier. The slow-ish DC charging hasn't been an issue for me yet, but that was the main reason I decided to lease instead of buy.

@@AustinGagnee yeah, just before the pandemic it was just $800 bucks to install a Level 2 charger and that included added a 240v plug, connecting it (wiring it) and adding the dedicated charger to the wall. In southern California the local power company paid $500 of that. I think the over $3k installation could be those garages/houses that don't even already have 240v even for the clothes dryer.

[@evolutionengineering3360]

Xcel Energy in MN will install a level 2 charger for free ... you just pay a monthly "fee" of like $12/mo. You must have the wiring and circuit out to that location and ready to go though. Small price to pay. I think more homes would benefit from having solar panels or roof tiles. You get paid during the day while you are gone and sip at a lower cost over-night when you're charging. You'll still make money off the higher cost daytime grid costs. Can't wait until Musk nails the Solar Roof down and gets the cost just right (lower). We are going in the right direction but we shouldn't have shot ourselves in the face by cutting off the pipelines, drilling and refining. Gotta feather that clutch before you shift gears...

[@fiftysquiggly]

@@mamadouaziza2536 EV prices have no chance of dropping below that price with the current status quo. In the future that may change as new battery chemistries are introduced (battery tech is going through a bit of a renaissance right now if you didn't know) and if a.) domestic production ramps up or b.) roadblocks to importing vehicles from countries like China are removed (this is particularly unlikely imo). There are a few Chinese companies now that are able to produce and sell full spec, full performance EVs at a fraction of the cost that U.S. and other western automakers are due to low labor costs, better access to raw materials, and government subsidies. The only things preventing these significantly cheaper EVs from entering the U.S. market are negative consumer sentiment and hostile trade policy.

Aside from the charging speed this is my favorite electric car on the market. If it was faster it would literally be worth double the cost. No car can beat this value and feature list together. I was debating between this and a used Kia Niro EV and I keep coming back to the bolt EUV. It’s just too good 😊

Agreed on all counts, with the price that Gen 2 Volts are going for these days, I will make money selling mine (bought it used for $16k when they were still an unknown) and then plop the proceeds with a few grand on top to buy an EUV cash. So tempting, but I need a new tow vehicle for my track day car before upgrading my commuting appliance.

Just the right amount of options and with everything out the door it was less than $34,000. I sold my 2017 Ford Focus St to Carmax for $3,500 less than I paid for it new and I drove it 75,000 miles. With the price drop on the Chevy and what I got for the Ford, it was perfect timing. I love this car. It's so easy to drive. Obviously, it's not as sporty as the ST, but it is still fun to drive.

Canada did not get the big price cut. 55kW max charging is a bit of a drag, but a lot of the DCFC are only 50kW in many locations anyways. It’s a little surprising to me to see that in late 2022 there are still new 50kW chargers being installed.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

If Chevy keeps the price low for next year, and it fully qualifies for the Inflation Reduction Act tax credit (depends on battery and "critical minerals" sources) this will be by far the most affordable EV on the roads. And in my state, there's a further $2,500 point-of-purchase rebate, with a further income-dependent point-of-purchase rebate up to $5,000. If it keeps its price through 2024 when the federal tax credit becomes point-of-purchase, in my state, you'd be able to get a brand new decent EV for as little as $12,500 out the door. And GM still includes home 240V outlet installation - so no extra out-of-pocket to get higher-than-standard-household-outlet charging at home. That will be a game changer. That is "reasonable quality used Honda Civic" territory. For states that have extra incentives for lower-income, this could finally be the catalyst to get lower-income people to seriously consider an EV. If there was a new "cash for clunkers" program, that could drive cost down even more.

I'm not a fan of the pointed rear window into the C-pillar, but aside from that the body doesn't look too bad. As you pointed out the roof line needs to be taller, so Chevy might profit from an SUV version. I also love the fact that it offers a light colored roof cover. A definite alternative to the dark colors usually found in model at this level.

One of the features of EVs that interests me is the One pedal driving, but I do have a question.

It already annoys me when following a driver tailgating the car in front of his or her car, constantly having to tap the brakes. Would it be the same experience for someone following me while using one pedal driving? This could be a good topic for a comparison between EVs in a future video.

I don’t see any of their Ultium EVs using the smallest 53 kWh Ultium battery as this would mean an incredible 4.7 miles/kWh for range of 250 miles. I’m thinking a future Bolt as a small urban run about with around 200 mile range and MSRP under $25K. Oh, and 150 kw charging.

[@mamadouaziza2536]

naw, never under $25k with 150kw charging and a Ultium battery..

[@erikstephens34]

Eventually I think GM will replace the Bolt EV/EUV with a Trailblazer or Trax EV. Likely in 2025 or 2026MY using Ultium. But I think the Bolt name might not survive.

[@terrencejones9817]

Once the Equinox EV comes put next year's the Bolt will go away.

[@erikstephens34]

@@terrencejones9817 Not right away. The Equinox EV is quite a bit larger and starts at a few thousand dollars more than the Bolt EV. I think they will live along side each other for a year or two before the Bolt is replaced with a lower end Ultium vehicle.

[@earthzero7]

@@erikstephens34 Agreed. Though it might be good for GM to keep the revitalized Bolt nameplate around for the sake of name recognition. That could go either way.

how is the trunk size? comparable to leaf?

[@billallen1307]

You need to make a distince0tion between options that are only available on the premium edition such as super cruise and adaptive cruise control.

[@Sophia-vk5bq]

I got the same build! I also have the illuminated charging port on mine.

[@danielbuchholz6691]

So with the new tax rules, it really makes sense to wait until its calendar year 2023 to buy this, right? Since at that point the manufacturer cap goes away if I am reading this right.

[@huyviet75]

I wish the charger the charger port was on the passenger side, would be easier to charge on curb side of a street. I wish also the rear bench would be a 40/20/40 split, would be easier to put skis and still fit 4 persons. But it looks like a nice car.

[@karmendimas5274]

any particular reason you chose NOT to show the cargo area when the hatch back was open?? and what is 'PREMIUM MATERIAL' for the seats? unless i missed you state it, any reason you chose also to NOT say what 'PREMIUM MATERIAL' it is? thanks

[@3wheelmannc860]

No a GM fan. If they would offer that with a faster charge option as you discuss missing and in AWD, I would really consider it...guess we will have to wait for a '24 update, if then.

[@martalli]

It's a good deal, if they'll make one for you. I have been waiting for for months for my order to even be accepted. Reviewers never have to wait for their cars, but waiting for months is a very real part of the buying process. GM is super capricious about people's wait times. Some people get a car in a month, but probably half the people who ordered in July are still waiting

[@loriallen67]

Waited 8 months last year on a Ford. I think that’s just the EV market. Some people get lucky and buy off the lot and others of us wait…..

[@mosfet500]

@@loriallen67 I think it has to do with the options you get and the chips those options utilize, I'd guess super cruse takes longer to get. I'm an electronic engineer and the chips I ordered last Feb are just getting shipped in Nov. I have to design around chips especially uC's (microcontrollers) which cars use a lot of.

[@BobsGT235]

I like the 2023 Bolt EUV, but they should never place the brake lights down low. I know it has the third brake light and some other manufacturers do the same thing, but it's just not safe.

[@lowlifeangler]

It's the national regulations is why they have to put the tail lights there

[@BobsGT235]

@@lowlifeangler Sorry, but in the USA, there is no such regulation that requires the brake lights to be mounted so low.

I don’t get all the jazz about super cruise. As I understand it, it is a monthly subscription cost after a period of trial usage. I feel like, get the premiere edition with the adaptive cruise control, already a massive improvement over previous bolt tech, and never worry about paying extra money to Trojan horse a monthly subscription into your car.

[@tomrybold]

thanks for the review i was thinking about ID4 pro but maybe to to bolt euv

[@bradyoleary1831]

the charging speed on the bolt is pretty slow but its a great value and most charges where I live in Minnesota are about 50kw anyway the only way you can get 125kw to 200kw is to buy a tesla and use there network but teslas are more than 50,000 for AWD

[@daves1646]

Goes farther, and the Redline trim option for EUV doesn’t hurt it’s look one bit!

[@EdwardGarrenMFT]

I've had my 22 EUV a year, have just over 10,000 miles on it. I''ve taken it on a few road trips, LA to Phoenix, LA to San Francisco (2 times), LA to Palm Springs (4 times), LA to San Diego (3 times). It's a GREAT car, and as Edmunds pointed out, comparing it to a Tesla Model Y, the Bolt has better features, easier controls, rides smoother, has less interior noise. By the first of 2024, we non Tesla owners will be able to use the very expanded Tesla Supercharger network. Buy this car, it's GREAT !!

[@MikeRadioNY]

Such a great car. This has a lot of features that even a model 3 doesn’t have! I was so close to getting this and still May do it, but I did order a model 3. What does this have that model 3 doesn’t?? Supercruise for one which works great… no hands! CarPlay, wireless, turn in or off one pedal, regen paddle, ventilated seats, rear view camera, sunroof that actually opens. And more. It’s such a great car and I’m seeing more of them on the road, nothing beats this. I rented one and was amazing and I still may get one. Definitely the best of the cheaper cars. The only issues are no saving seat settings, no passenger auto seats, a single zone climate control (this was some kind of afterthought as there is an actual black placeholder where dual temp change should have been), a top speed of only 92 (sounds quick but on an 80 mph road you way want to go 90 and won’t be able to pass8, and the thing that’s the biggest issue… charge speed…. It’s very very slow. 55kw! The cheaper model 3 has 147 and most cars do have much more. Range is fine. Dashboard is great…. Really like this and like he said.. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did either!

[@knotatraitor]

Let me address the "not a great car for a long road trip" comment you often hear. I've had Bolt EV/EUV Premier's since they came out in 2017. This past year I've taken THREE 2,000 mile road trips up the west coast from the SF BayArea to far upstate WA. Two days up; two days back. The trick is I drive 150-165 miles, leaving me a 30-60 mile buffer. I charge to 80% only, which is the fastest part of a full charge, and then go on my way with about 180-200 miles of range. This takes 40 minutes. Every time. So I stop 3 times, for 40 minutes, which takes a total of 2 hours. This is typically stopping every 2-21/2 hours, and mostly depending on charger location and availability.After 2 1/2 hours driving, it's nice to get out and stretch, get a bite to eat, take a nap, check email, etc. An Ionic 5 says it'll charge to 80% in 18 minutes - but good luck getting that. I've not seen a single person commenting saying that it actually does that. More like 25 minutes or more. Lots of variables in play. So, I figure it's an extra 20 minutes per charge, realistically. Times three for the number of stops, and that means a 500 mile day/leg takes me an hour longer than an Ionic 5. So 9 hours instead of 8. The Ionic 5, spec'd out like my fully max'd out EUV Premier - like the one in this video, to be exact - even the same color - was $34k out the door. An equivalent HI5 is the Limited version, which is at least $55k. and that's not even out the door. $60k out the door. Take $10k off, if you like, and you're still at $16k more than my fully max'd EUV P. Like the guy says here, the EUV Premier, especially, is the BEST VALUE you can get in an EV today, for sure. Bar none. No doubt. I'll live with an extra 20 minutes charging every 2 1/2 hours of driving. It's not that bad at all.

[@toddkovalcik332]

Thanks for providing real world experience with "slow" charging. So many reviewers get hung upon the numbers and what they actually mean in the real world. This car is an incredible value for sure.

[@yunfanfan9452]

Totally agreed it's a great car for the price, a fantastic deal given that it also qualifies for Fed credit now - but GM needs to ramp up the production. The wait time was said to be months.

[@BowlerActuary]

The EUV is a great value. Only real detriment I see is DCFC. But again… way way cheap and a long range one. Definitely bang for your buck.

[@Martinko_Pcik]

It is a deal as long as it doesn't burst in flames and you can charge it without heating issues on a level 2 charger

[@itss.freddy]

Owner of 2017 bolt w/new battery I get average 270 mile range. Lt2 . I wish we could upgrade fast charging. To at least 100kw . Most miles I’ve gotten 300 no ac and city driving 90% of the time. 5 miles per kw. Best ev on miles per kw I’ve driven . If they would make a 100kw and 350kw charge speed for under $40k it’ll demolish the competition. I assume car would get 400 mile range and could charge to 100 in under 1hr . It would be the Prius of ev 😅😎

[@ab-tf5fl]

For those that love everything else about the Bolt, but believe the 55 kW charging speeds to be unacceptable for the annual road trip, you could consider buying the Bolt for normal driving and renting a model Y for the very long road trips. This way, you get both the cost savings of the Bolt and the superfast charging speeds and even supercharger access offered by the model Y. And, if the road trip doesn't happen that often, the cost will be far, far less than actually buying a model Y.

[@ivanparets3500]

[@hankpeng]

my wife and i were shopping for an ev for her and she ultimately chose a new mini se. she preferred the looks and premium feel of the mini over the ugly (her opinion) bolt euv. i actually liked the bolt because of the range, utility and instant $6300 discounts that were being offered at the time (vs a federal tax credit we'll hopefully get to utilize when we file taxes in a few months).
