MAXIMIZE YOUR DRIVE. With smooth

handling and plenty of passing power,
Bolt EV is an electric vehicle that’s fun to
drive. It’s also engineered to maximize
energy and efficiency with features like
Regen on Demand™ and One Pedal Driving.

EFFICIENT, EVERYWHERE. One Pedal

Driving helps you get anywhere you want
to go more efficiently. While driving in
Low mode at any speed, One Pedal Driving
lets you speed up and slow down by using
only the accelerator pedal.
want to speed up, press your foot down
like you normally would.

When you

And when you want to slow down, just lift
your foot off the accelerator. This means
you rarely have to touch the brake pedal.
So instead of wasting energy when slowing
down, One Pedal Driving helps you capture
energy and sends it back to the battery.
Of course, you should always use your
brake pedal if you need to stop quickly.

EXPLORE YOUR RANGE. Regen on

Demand allows you to convert energy into
electricity and transfers it back to the
battery. A simple pull and hold of the
Regen on Demand paddle on your steering
wheel will decelerate your vehicle.

POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL.

The Electronic Precision Shift offers
smooth and responsive shifting — and the
latest in technology. Bolt EV is the first
Chevrolet vehicle to have a shifter that
sends electronic signals to the drive unit
to select Reverse, Neutral, Park, Drive
and Low. The sleek joystick shifter offers
a seamless and effortless experience.
And because it eliminates the need for
bulky hardware, the center console area
is freed up to provide additional room
and a greater sense of personal space.
