My wife and I have two 2017
My wife and I have two 2017 Bolt EVs - one LT and one Premier - since early 2017. The LT has over 33k miles and the Premier has just over 34k. Best vehicles we have ever owned...period. Zero battery degradation and no other issues. They both drive and feel the same as they did when brand new. The only real maintenance has been having the dealer rotate the tires about every 8k miles and both had the software update to the battery management system done at the dealer in 2018 (in conjunction with a tire rotation). Great vehicles with spacious interiors (great for a family of four...has seating for five), great for everday driving, excellent acceleration, and have completed a few 1000+ mile roadtrips in each Bolt with no issues. The regenerative braking system is phenomenal - one pedal driving makes driving so easy! Hardly ever have to use the regular brakes.
We went all electric with the Bolts because all the early driving reviews were very positive. Replaced two vehicles that got a combined 18mpg ('02 Yukon and '07 Impala)...have saved ove $8k in fuel costs in 2.5 years! (67k miles ÷ 18mpg = 3700gals; 3700gal × $3/gal = $11,100....67k miles @ 4miles/kW = 16750kW; 16750kW × $0.18/kW = $3015. $11,100 - $3015 = $8085 SAVINGS). That's just fuel savings...not to mention the savings in oil changes, tuneups, transmission fluid, and the other maintenance associated with regular gas cars.
The Bolt EV is an amazingly reliable vehicle that is a blast to drive! GM realky did a great job.
