It’s almost a new year; it’s time to introduce a new Chevy – the Chevy Bolt. What is the Bolt? Chevy’s first all-electric distance traveler. The Bolt is not to be confused with the Volt. Instead, the Bolt is a true EV that can compete with Tesla vehicles at an affordable price. Learn more below.

1. Range
Why do we call it a distance traveler? Because the Bolt can travel at least 238 miles on a single charge. We say at least because various driver tests have shown the Bolt can travel well beyond 238 miles given the right conditions and the right driving habits. Pretty impressive, right?

2. Legroom and Storage Space
The Bolt was built to be compact on the outside and spacious on the inside. There is plenty of legroom to go around in the front and back. Plus, you’ll find 16.9 cubic feet of cargo space – a similar-sized car, the Honda Fit, only offers 16.6 cubic feet.

3. Price
The Chevrolet Bolt is expected to be priced at $37,500. When you factor in the $7,500 federal tax credit that you can receive when you buy an electric vehicle, the Bolt only costs $30,000. That is a steal in the EV market at the Bolt’s battery range.
