I was wrong about the Chevy Bolt... - Chevy Bolt EUV

The Chevy Bolt is such an uninspired electric car that it set the entire electric car industry and reputation back years, is what I thought before driving one. It turns out that it's pretty good, let's take a look here. We have the Chevy Bolt Euv, so this is it. the one that's a little bigger and if you want to stay completely anonymous while you're traveling, buy this. I've never seen a car so rarely before, I swear you could drive an 11th gen Civic and more people are going to look. On to this now, first of all, the headlights suck, so we have our drls here.

These are your normal headlights. They are better than, as you know, the standard non-LED headlights for the LED headlights, they suck. Do not buy. This, if there are a lot of deer in your area, to be clear, I think it's a good looking car, it's just nothing special, nothing special either, the charging speed is 54 kilowatts, which is just terrible when You compare it to the other things on the market like the ionic five solo 300. However, the saving grace here is that we only have a 65 kilowatt hour battery, which means you can at least charge it pretty quickly, even with a level charger. 2, you can get a good amount of power out of this thing.

I really like their tire selection on this first of all the 17 inch wheels. I think the black ones look pretty good and you also have a lot of sidewalls, so a lot of EVs have these big 20 inch wheels and it drives like it's also nice, we have this energy. Efficient Michelin tires that are great because, on the one hand, they give you more range and, on the other, they are very quiet. I was surprised at how quiet this thing was on the highway and then I realized that, like the other cars around me, you can hear the ones you just don't use.

I don't hear this thing in the back, there is enough space in the trunk. If you look here, you can put your camera equipment and a couple of backpacks, but the saving grace of all this is that under the floor you have a lot more space for the viewer. We got this from In fact, I said that if you lower the seats, you can put four winter tires next to each other, if it's almost perfect. One thing I find quite annoying is this rear quarter panel. I have this cute swoopy doopy here, which is for a similar occupant. safety reasons, shut up, it's for occupant safety reasons, but I think it's just because they thought this looked cool, it makes checking your blind spots much harder than it should be and every time you drive away from He beeps, which is really annoying.

Well, the back seats in the

bolt

are big enough for me six feet tall. I have about a finger between my head and the ceiling, which he said, although as long as it fits, it's pretty good. I have plenty of room for my legs and these seats. they are quite comfortable, you even have a little, a couple of couplers, very nice, oh wow, I even have heating in the back seat and a couple of charging ports, great for getting into the balti UV. Oh, first of all, you get a very guttural intro and there's enough of it too.

There is room here to fit a full LTT water bottle on the side. Here is a car. The Chevy Bolt Euv does this amazing thing that all other electric cars seem to stumble over. Makes sense. Oh, I want to put it in Drive. Let's shoot. The driving thing I want to change the climate let's just touch the climate controls the buttons feel good and well that's something outside of the equalizers and Lucid air we can't do the infotainment it just works it's very sensitive say you want Apple Carplay on your main screen, just touch and drag it.

It's completely rearrangeable, so the things you really want to use will be in the easy-to-access places. This is excellent. We also have Android Auto, Apple Carplay, everything great. things, it appears full screen and is probably one of the best implementations I've seen. This being the premiere package we have these nice leather seats, they are heated and cooled and all the electronic adjustments you expect, well the lumbar is only on and I wish they had up and down too, but they are comfortable to put on, They don't hold you very well. I wish there was a lot more bolstering, but these are clearly comfort-oriented seats, they weren't sporty before. we start up the piano block, I hate to see it everywhere here, up here, we just put it in microfiber so it doesn't look so bad right now, but in one day the automakers will stop making them again, yeah , let's stop doing it, let's drive.

euv is surprisingly fun to drive, as long as you turn off the traction control you can still be as enjoyable, You know?

Push EV like it's not particularly fast, this thing has 200 horsepower, 0-60 of I think 6.8 seconds, it's faster than your grandma's, whatever your grandma drives probably, but like If we went to the highway right here, I'm going to fix it, yeah. once you're above 40 to 50 kilometers per hour the electric shock goes away, which says that a lot of people who drive this probably don't care how fast it goes when you know, 120 kilometers per hour. hour because they're not even going to bother driving it, so this has super Crews and this is a super Cruise Road. The super cruiser is GM's version of autopilot.

Now it works mapping the roads and it works surprisingly well as if we were. I'm just shredding here right now and I have no qualms about talking with my hands. I wouldn't do this in a Tesla. I'm just looking at the camera. I barely look in front of us and it's totally fun. This combined with the adaptive cruise is one of the best I have ever experienced, with Audi and Toyota. Good job by GM when it comes to a car that gets you miles on the highway, this is really high. for me, the Michelin tires, as I mentioned before, are nice and quiet, the suspension is surprisingly comfortable, it weighs only 3,600 pounds, which is pretty heavy, but it's also like 1,500 pounds lighter than the vast majority of EVs that They exist, which means they don't.

They have to let you know that it is super aggressive with the damping settings, they can just let you know that it is set up very similar to a normal car. How would you expect Super Cruise to have the big problem that it only works on Super Cruise verified roads like the ones they have gone ahead and mapped, so whether or not Super Cruise is good for you depends entirely on whether you have Super Crews on your daily commute if you don't have super Crews in your area don't buy it, obviously it's like two and a half Grand's not worth it if you're not going to use it.

That being said, in Canada all trans sails are mapped, lots of other random little highways are mapped, and much of the US is mapped too, so there is a good chance your trip will have super cruise enabled. and, if so, I highly recommend it. I think it's the first time I've enjoyed autonomous driving. Look, oh, the super cruiser is ready, that's it for this road. Driving now, okay, this might be our only good corner here, traction control in sport mode off this thing. It corners surprisingly well and it's also cool, it's the tires a little bit, it's probably an LSD, but the suspension on this thing is surprisingly well set up like you can hook it.

Coming into a corner, the turn-in is surprisingly good for something like this on corner exit. You know, the tires have grip, but I feel like if you put some PS4s on this thing, you could go autocrossing and just embarrass some people. people in cars who you well know would feel incredibly embarrassed if they were wrecked by a bull euv. It is surprising that we have much less weight in an electric car. I guess while we're driving around here we listen to Andy's owned sound system playing crab rave rap violation by noise storm sure playing on Spotify and this version of the euv bolt we have the Bose sound system which has some of the funniest bass I've ever seen heard in a car earlier, let's look here uh I landed at -6 minus seven to base.

I'm going to reset it to zero here. Sam, our lab engineer, went ahead and tested this and it's funny, at 40 Hertz, this thing is plus 12 decibels at, you know, zero on this screen. it sounds terrible it's just boomy all you hear is when you turn it all the way down to -12 that's what we consider hitting our target curve and our target curve is plus 10 DB in the base range which also makes things They are a little worse, the tweeters are not pointed towards you, they are pointed directly at the treble and the soundstage is fine here, but when you move forward, there are much better images when your head is above the infotainment because of the way the tweeters are pointed. tweeters.

That said, though a lot of this can be fixed by simply lowering it. I like negative seven because I'm a bassist. A lot of people will like the -12, that takes care of most of it. The heaviness goes away and it's Very good, it's a pretty good sound system for a 50k Canadian car. Another thing that's really good about this car is the range, so you get almost 400 kilometers of range, which given which only has a 65 kilowatt hour battery, is incredibly good. it just drinks electricity while you're driving down the road great job

bolt uv on the one hand this car makes me incredibly excited about the future of cars because even though it's not the most exciting compared to other crossovers this thing is incredibly dramatic. like go here oh compared to a slushbox or a CVT this transmission and drivetrain is so much better and makes driving a car like this so much more fun than it currently would be if it were like a Chevy Trax or what Let it be at the same time for 50,000 Canadian dollars, this one here I think is the best car for thirty-five thousand dollars for fifty thousand dollars.

I really like it, as far as a simple commuter that takes you wherever you want to go, it's very comfortable. It's nice and quiet, it's cheerful enough that you can have a little fun from time to time, like you don't feel like you're just afraid to drive it, the problem is that for the same amount of money you can get the high base in the ironic five and The initial version of this thing here, which is the 40 Grand Canadian, doesn't come with adaptive cruise, which in my opinion is a no-go option for a car that's so expensive, you can get a Civic for like fifteen. a thousand dollars less than adaptive cruise.

I guess the real point is how much you care if your car is cool or not. You know those like the Andy dads, yeah, they almost pride themselves on the practicality of their decisions. This is one of those cars that you can very practically rationalize that it's quiet, it's very comfortable, well, it doesn't use gas, so if you have cheap electricity and very expensive gas, like we have here in British Columbia, it could be very, very practical, but at the same time, as I told you. We're so close and the price of the ionic 5. It's pretty hard to give this thing a recommendation, what it does do is make me incredibly excited to try out the letter that's coming soon and as long as Chevy can keep it together. of the bolt and turn it into, you know, a nice, full EV experience.

I think it's going to be great, so like, subscribe and let me know what you think of the Chevy bolt. It's too boring, great. I think a lot of people. I would really like this, like my dad. You'd probably really like this car, but at the same time, like God, it's boring.
