2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV 1LT

The Bolt EV is Chevrolet's compact electric hatchback, a direct rival to the Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Kona Electric. It's quick off the line and handles city streets with ease, though the ride is a bit firm over rough pavement. The cabin is roomy for a small car, with a surprisingly spacious back seat and a decent cargo area behind the hatch. Standard tech includes a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver assists. The 1LT is the base trim, so you get cloth seats and a manual driver's seat adjuster instead of the 2LT's leather and power adjustments. Its 259 miles of range of range from the electric motor is more than enough for daily driving, and the instant torque makes it feel quicker than its 200 horsepower suggests.
