The Conveniences of the New Chevy Bolt EV

Chevrolet has big plans for the 2017 Bolt EV. It’s one of the most affordable all-electric vehicles on the market, and it has a real-world all-electric range of up to 238 miles. Yet, from its technology suite, to its fast-charging battery and high-efficiency technologies, the 2017 Bolt EV will be a game changer in automobile innovation.

At New Smyrna Beach Chevrolet, we’re excited to offer the Bolt EV to our customers. It’s loaded with convenience features, as well as advanced EV technology, that’s bound to make this a Chevy best-seller for many years to come. Here are a few of the features we’re most excited about:

EV and Efficiency Technology Conveniences

The EV technology on display in the 2017 Bolt EV is impressive. Featuring advanced engineering, the Bolt EV is designed to maximize range, making this an extremely practical commuter or long-range vehicle.

• Impressive All-Electric Range: On a fully charged battery, the 2017 Bolt EV can travel an estimated 238 miles. That’s one of the longest ranges for an affordable all-electric vehicle, and it’s practical for drivers. You can travel long distances without having to worry about power.
• Fast Charging Options: The Bolt EV can be charged using a number of systems. 240-volt charging – which is available at a number of public locations – offers 25 miles of range per 1 hour of charging, and can fully charge an empty battery in 9.5 hours. DC Fast Charging, another option, delivers 90 miles of range in just 30 minutes. Plus, the Bolt EV can be programmed to charge at specific times depending on location.
• Brake and Drivetrain Optimization: The Bolt EV has been engineered to conserve energy and maximize range. For example, when you take your foot off the acceleration pedal, the unused energy is converted into electricity and sent back to the battery. This is part of the One Pedal Driving Feature.

Technology and Infotainment Conveniences

From Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to advanced safety tech, the all-new Bolt EV is designed to keep you connected and safer on the road. Options include:

• Smartphone Integration: Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enable drivers to seamlessly integrate their smartphone’s into the Bolt EV’s 10.2-inch hi-def display. Then, access your favorite apps, contact data and more to the vehicle’s screen.
• 4G LTE Hot Spot: The all-new Bolt EV can be equipped with 4G LTE Wi-Fi technology, enabling you to connect to the web when you’re on the go.
• Available Safety Technology: The Bolt EV’s driver assistance package includes blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, forward collision alerts and front pedestrian braking.
• Surround Vision and Rear Camera: Two camera options are available, offering you a birds-eye-view of the vehicle or an image of the area behind the vehicle.
• 8-inch Digital Gauge Display: In addition to the 10.2-inch infotainment display, the Bolt EV features a digital gauge cluster with vital info including battery range, charge settings and more.

Exterior and Interior Design Conveniences

The Bolt EV might be a mid-sized hatchback, but it’s extremely versatile. The second row seats fold flat, opening up 57 cubic feet of cargo volume. Plus, an available rear, in-floor storage compartment adds additional space.

In terms of seating, the Bolt EV holds up to five passengers comfortably, and the vehicle’s flowing roofline opens up plenty of head and shoulder room. That’s something other EV vehicles just can’t deliver.
