I think the handling is quite stable compared to earlier models. The steering feels more refined, and it handles curves well.

True, but I’ve noticed some body roll during sharper turns. It’s not a sports car, but for a compact EV, it’s decent.

I appreciate the improved ride comfort in the 2023 model. It feels a lot more balanced, especially on rough roads. It’s a big plus.

The overall performance of the Bolt EV really challenges other electric vehicles in its category. It offers a great mix of efficiency and fun.

I agree! I’ve compared it to the Nissan Leaf, and I think the Bolt is definitely more engaging to drive.

Yes! Especially with the Bolt’s regenerative braking, which feels much smoother now. It encourages more efficient driving.

Do you think the Bolt EV’s performance is enough to sway people from brands like Tesla? I’m curious if anyone feels brand loyalty affects choices here.

Definitely! Some people just won’t consider anything other than Tesla. But the Bolt’s practicality is hard to ignore!

The price point of the Bolt also makes it a serious contender. For a practical EV with strong performance under budget, it’s hard to beat.

Exactly! And it’s kind of funny how people get rigid about electric cars. They forget how fun they can be to drive!

I’ve been really impressed with the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV’s electric range. On a full charge, I’m getting around 250 miles easily, which is fantastic for my daily commute!

That’s awesome! I’ve also noticed the range is quite reliable. However, my real-world charging experiences have been mixed. Some stations are fast, while others take forever!

17

I agree with you both! The charging infrastructure is gradually improving, but I still find myself planning trips around available chargers, especially on weekends.

18

Absolutely! In my experience, charging time has been pretty efficient at fast chargers, usually around 30 minutes for an 80% charge.

I’ve had my Bolt EV for a few months, and I enjoy it! So far, I’ve only used fast chargers, which makes it a breeze to recharge during errands. However, my home charger does take a bit longer.

I find the home charging quite long sometimes too! It usually goes well overnight, but I wish it was faster. Anyone else feel that way?
