Good for 238 miles of EV cruising range, the 2019
Chevy Bolt
was an Eco-friendly and tech-laden topic that the staff of Road Show were
eager to cover this past week on their blog. Quick to claim it as “one of the
best EV's on the road,” it highlighted some of the great features that make it
stand out, as competition from many other brands is mounting steadily. Making
its debut during 2016, the class-leading 238 miles of EPA range brandished at
helm is one of its strongest selling points. The Nissan Leaf weighs in at a
measly 150 miles of range, as does the Hyundai Ioniq.
Shining high in a category where having high-tech
premise and an alluring low price will always be a draw, all of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis
are excited to show you in detail the many benefits of owning a Bolt. It's all
about the battery when you're talking about EV's, and the one in question here
is a 960-pound, 60-kWh lithium-ion power supply, situated under the seats.
Because of this, the seating position is about a head taller than it would be
in some competing models, making highway drives have a bit more of a commanding
sense from the cockpit.
If you happen to be in a rush which so many of us
are during these demanding days, the optional DC Combo Fast Charging system can
juice up the battery to 90 miles of range in a half an hour flat. With a grand
total of 238 hours to work with, the testing staff from Road Show did
not ever run into a situation where they needed this fast charge, but knowing
that it is there for you on standby for long trips can provide an ample peace
of mind. The 200-horsepower unit does send up to 266 lb-ft of torque to the
front wheels, by means of a single-speed reduction gear.
This amount of torque equips the Bolt abundantly
with very responsive performance and plenty of pep for the typical around-town
jaunt. One of the most amazing features of this modern engineering
accomplishment is the way in which the Bolt incorporates regenerative braking.
With the simple use of a paddle on the steering wheel, you activate a very
significant slowing of the EV, with results as if you'd pressed the brake
pedal. This is just one of the ways that you can make sure you get the optimal
range and promise out of your Bolt, as well as using the “one pedal driving”
mode. Bluetooth calling, audio streaming, and USB connectivity for audio
playback are all found within the 10.2-inch color touchscreen display, that is
also home to a unique version of the MyLink infotainment system.
Are you looking for the ultimate in protection and
heightened awareness during driving for your new car search? Another great
feature to check out is the amazing Surround Vision System that is available on
the Premier model: the complete evolution of the rear-view camera that pieces
together feeds from 4 different cameras to provide a 360-degree view of the
car's area during times of low-speed travel is ultra-keen at keeping you safe.
One of the most revolutionary technologies that we have seen as of late is Lane
Keeping Assist: it incorporates the electric power steering to keep the Bolt
between lane markers during moments of potential drowsiness on the highway. As
the future of cars lurches bravely ahead into a large array of electric power
offerings, one of the true pioneers absolutely remains the most attractive:
come to pay us a holiday visit soon, and appreciate the many reasons the
versatile and Bolt can win you over this holiday season!
