Review: 2020 Chevy Bolt | More RANGE but Worth Model 3 Money? 

Bought it. Black Premier model for $28K. Not just a city car. Already put nearly 250 miles on it in 48hrs in 27°F weather. So easy to drive and fun in the snow.

Nobody pays full price ($44k) for the 2020 Bolt EV Premier with all of the dealer incentives and rebates, I got my 2019 Premier for $26,000 and my 2020 Premier for $27,000. I also got them early enough to qualify for the $1875 Federal tax credit.

Just bought a Bolt with all incentives I got about $14k off sticker. Very solid car and have enjoyed tremendously.

Good point on the fact that you have that extra braking from the second you remove your foot from the accelerator and before you move your foot to the brake. That is indeed a safety margins particular at lower speeds (in city traffic for example).

Well hello there Handsome man. Great review. Looking forward to the 2021 Bolt.

excellent review. I have a 2015 Spark EV will move up to the Bolt AFTER they include Adaptive Cruise in 2021

Great review!

Cool little egg on wheels 😂 Great review my friend 👍

You are on point with this review

I loved the video can you please do a Chevy Cruse for the next video

Excellent review.

??? Does anyone know if you can operate the keyless remote without the Onstar monthly service fee?

Test drove a 2017 with 47,000 miles on it. Felt like a brand new vehicle. I was in love. Sadly it couldn’t be sold until the recall was completed. So I had to look elsewhere. I looked at a 2020 premiere, but it was for lease only, which I felt way to uncomfortable with. I ended up having to get something I don’t love, but it’s still a nice car. I got a 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS. HOWEVER, my next vehicle will be electric!!! Awesome video, very knowledgeable.

I bought a brand new 2020 in Jan. 2021. LT trim. Fast charge package included plus an extra charge cable for travel. Custom color too. 20 K out the door.

These aren't anywhere near Tesla price in reality. Bolts are currently selling for $8k to $11k below MSRP. And the $35k Model 3 is impossible to find. This is a significantly cheaper car, for sure.

I have the premiere in the flat gray color I love the gray , but holy cow , that deep cherry red that you have there is amazing, so nice looking. I’d like that color

U didn’t really review the regenative paddles which I’m interested in. Also apparently there will be a new interior and other updates next year. Thanks for the review

Very nice.

I think these will be great on the used market like an old Nissan leaf and also rental cars.

Thank you

Nolan will have 100k subscribers by the end of year Mark my words

Thank you for the review. 😀😀. I was looking at the RAV Prime but I guess there is no availability for them. Also, they are pretty spendy.

Chevrolet has huge discounts on the 2021 Bolts, prior to the refresh coming in the 2022 model year.

Where every "drop" of energy is of utmost importance, why do they stick with the Bi Zenon HIDs vs a more energy efficient LED headlamp bulb? I know you don't have an answer, more just thinking out loud. LOL

I wish I can see a real review of this car in action. Daily errands etc. especially going to the store. Like Walmart and Sams club which I do every week. I wanna see how much this car can pack in with the backseats down etc. I mean it looks like it can pack a lot. I also wanna know how it does on lousy streets. Does it soak in bumps well? Or does your backside feel it big time?? I’m trying to decide if I should buy this car. I wish I can rent it for a day but they don’t have these cars for rent here for some reason. I already test drove it but I can’t have it all day. I’m still undecided if I should pull the trigger on a bolt. If I buy one I promise I will post a much real world review for you all to watch. I will tell you the real story what it’s like to live with a bolt! Lol. GM is your listening let me borrow one for a day. My current vehicle is a 2015 Jeep renegade trailhawk. I fell in love with the bolt after test driving it. I think it will serve me well but the technology is still new. I don’t know if I wanna take this plunge yet into EV world. I want something I don’t have to do maintenance on as well. I am so tired of oil changes and all other other fluids you gotta change. Belts etc. and yes going to the gas station putting gas. Nowadays it seems I’m having to wait in line for gas. I think to myself. Hmmmm wish I had that bolt. I also drove a 2020 Prius. Nice car but still a gas engine to worry about. I’m not buying an EV to save the world. I’m buying it to save me the hassles of maintenance ICE cars have. I bought an EGO mower in 2018 and wow what a mower. I had no idea it could be so simple. Now I want my car to be the same way.

The cost of this is basically the same as a standard-range Tesla Model 3, right? I think I'd much rather have the Tesla.

I literally leased one yesterday, 36 months for a grand total of $4700.00, and a $2000 rebate. So I basically renting this car for $100 a month....All paid up front.

PS, I love it!

The only problem is don’t go with the LT - Dealer incentive are through the roof right now and heavily discounted for the premier - they want these gone by 2021 when the new Hummer comes out

i just bought one with holiday employee special + online list discount + costco auto program = nowhere near model 3 price. I don't mind waiting at level 3 charge for extra 20 minutes to get to the next charge station during long distance trips which I only do maybe once a year. So 2020 Bolt is better for me than a tsla. Hatch back is much better for daily use than a compact sedan

It took 3 years but now the 2020 Bolts are available for under 20K with less than 50,00 miles on them, after the Federal Tax credit savings of 4K, In janurary of 2026 I predict the 2020 Chevy Bolts if you can find them for sale we'll be just 15,000 on average , also with low miles still under warranty on the main battery/engine.

New, wait for the 2021. Refreshed interior & exterior, power driver seat with lumbar. Refreshed dash, OTA infotainment, dumb shifter is gone, better fake leather. Camera rearview mirror is gone. Used, avoid the 2017 (first year) and be aware due to "supplier issues" seat quality is inconsistent.

Super fun car to drive - Wish GM offered a supercharging network like Tesla

bought my 2020 LT with all options for 26K (bought in ohio). Most people dont buy a chevy for sticker price you should know that if you are reviewing cars. Not fair to compare a 26K car to a Tesla which is pretty much 40K once you pay the delivery charge.

Can you please do a Jeep Wrangler I really want to see the Jeep Wrangler video only if you can

Little? It has more interior space than a model S (120 cu ft for the model S and 130 for the Bolt).

Looks nice- but I feel a bit PRICEY🙃

I can't think of a car that chevy has made that is still on the road after 15 years.

Initial price is not everything. Look more at the cost of ownership over five years, plus.

:)),, drove bolt and tesla,, tesla model 3 wins

This is silly, considering nobody pays anywhere near Model 3 prices for the Bolt.

It's electric... boogie woogie woogie 😂

Not worth model 3 money by any means. Unfortunately since 2017 GM has dumbed down the infotainment system.
