The Chevy Bolt Charms Edmunds With Its Practicality

American car review website, Edmunds, recently selected the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV as their Top Rated Electric Car. Not a Tesla, not a Mercedes, but a mini Bolt hatchback. According to Edmunds, the small bow-tied car was just too “impossible to ignore,” that they couldn’t let it remain just an afterthought. They elaborated that “utility, handy features, a healthy range rating, and a fantastically low price of entry” made it the clear choice for their 2023 Electric Car award.

Even though the Chevy Bolt isn’t the grandest EV out on the market, nor is it designed to zoom in and out on the highway, it doesn’t need to be because that’s not what gives the car its unique zest in the first place. Instead, the hatch fuses all the primary necessities like driving, usefulness, along with style, eventually providing an economical package of wonders.

To begin, one of the most favorable qualities is the affordability of the Bolt EV. This car has an MSRP of $27,495 (plus destination fee) for the base level, making it one of the most accessible vehicles to purchase for the current model year, particularly one that is electric. One can likely buy several Bolts for the price they would have paid for just one base Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. It even surpasses the Tesla Model 3 by $20,000. Undeniably, this car has it going on, proving incredible value all around.

The newest Chevy Bolt has an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles, a figure that Edmunds beat by 19 miles in their real-world range test. This EV has more range than other competitors, with a much larger battery capacity than its 66-kWh unit. One might be shocked to learn just how effective the Bolt is. A study conducted by Edmunds revealed that the Bolt ended up requiring less energy than 54 out of the 62 cars that they ran through the same loop. They also suggested that the Chevy model would be more desirable for longer trips than similarly priced rivals like the Mini Cooper SE and Mazda MX-30.

The 2023 Bolt is deemed to be a handy hatch because of its ability to provide a group of four with the ultimate function and space. There are several practical chambers and compartments to work with inside. At the same time, the car leverages its small body it scooches into tight parking spaces. To add on, the electric motor brings life to small vehicles that are typically powered by regular unfined gas engines. This ecological 65 kWh lithium-ion battery results in a calm and well-mannered ride, which is rare in this particular class.

Compounding its effectiveness, profound range rating, and accessibility, Bolt EV owners are nearly guaranteed to get more of a thrill than any gas guzzler they’ve ever had. Owning the 2023 Bolt is a choice that very few will regret if any. This will especially be desirable for those who are working with strict budgets. The 2023 Bolt won Edmunds’s Top Rated Electric Car award without being gaudy or a hotshot on the highway but simply tackling the basics.
