New 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV for Sale in Thornhill, ON

Most of us appreciate that it’s a big move for someone to make the move to an all-electric vehicle for the first time, but the new Chevy Bolt looks like it could well be the perfect gateway model for enticing buyers off the fence. It makes a lot of sense for a manufacturer like Chevrolet to avoid overwhelming buyers who they’re asking to make such a bold move as to buy their first all-electric car, and that’s what Chevrolet has done here by only offering the Bolt EV in one well-equipped LT trim level.

Buyers are often confronted by a plethora of differing battery sizes, ranges, performance figures, and trim levels when they are looking at purchasing an EV, but you don’t have to worry about much other than the colour you like best when it comes to buying a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV.

One downside of electric cars is often excessive weight, but the 2023 Bolt EV is actually reasonably light for an electric vehicle. The irony is that weight may matter even more with an EV than with a gas-powered car. The electric system you’ll find in the new Bolt EV is built around a 65-kWh battery pack that provides the little Chevy with a driving range on a full charge of 417 km. Many new to electric vehicles worry about range perhaps more than just about anything else, but 417 km is enough to keep the average driver going for several days or even more running around North York, Markham and Richmond Hill. The Bolt’s electric powertrain also boasts an impressive 200 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. of torque that can propel it from 0 to 100 kph in just 6.7 seconds.

The time to fully charge a depleted battery is 7 hours when using a 48-amp wall box with a 60-amp circuit, but with access to DC fast-charging, you can put 160 km of range into the Bolt’s battery in just 30 minutes.
