2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV

**ONE OWNER** The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premier offers several advantages, making it a compelling option in the used electric vehicle market: Key Pros: Long Electric Range: It boasts an EPA-estimated range of 238 miles on a full charge. This was a significant range for its time and remains practical for daily commuting and longer trips compared to some older EVs. Spacious and Practical: The Bolt EV has a surprisingly roomy cabin for its compact size, comfortably seating five adults. The hatchback design offers a good amount of cargo space (16.9 cubic feet, expanding to 56.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded). Fun to Drive: With a 200-horsepower electric motor and 266 lb-ft of torque, the Bolt EV offers quick acceleration and responsive handling, making it enjoyable for city driving and commuting. Sport mode enhances the accelerator response. Available Premier Features: The Premier trim adds desirable features such as heated leather seats (front and rear), a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rear camera mirror, Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Surround Vision. Technology Integration: It typically comes equipped with a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and available navigation. Potential for Lower Cost of Ownership: As an EV, it has the potential for lower running costs due to no gasoline consumption and potentially less maintenance compared to gasoline-powered cars. One-Pedal Driving: The Low mode and a Regen-on-Demand paddle on the steering wheel allow for increased regenerative braking, enabling a one-pedal driving experience in certain situations, which can extend range and reduce brake wear. Safety Features: The Premier trim often includes advanced safety features like Forward Collision Alert with Low-Speed Automatic Braking and Pedestrian Detection, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Federal and State Incentives (When New): Although these wouldn't apply to a used model, the original buyer may have benefited from tax credits, which could translate to a more affordable price on the used market. New Battery with Warranty (in some cases): Due to past recalls, many 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EVs have had their batteries replaced with new ones under warranty (8 years/100,000 miles from the new battery installation date). This can be a significant advantage for a used buyer.
