The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt is an EV that has recently set a new standard by its impressive mileage range, but also through its performance that almost makes you forget, that you are running solely on electric power.  At the showroom of the Smithfield Chevrolet dealership, we got to know about many more amazing factors of this 2020 Chevrolet Bolt that automatically made us recommend this car to our families and friends, whoever we found planning to buy a car this year.

All the Right Moves

It is the hard work of the automaker Chevrolet that has set the 2020 Bolt models as one of the best examples in the sphere of EVs. The upgrades given to the 2020 year lineup of Bolt series proves that the automaker is moving at the right direction with all the right moves. By adding a few more miles to its earlier range, Chevrolet has transcended this EV to a class leading one that is counted among the most charming urban cars, leave alone electric cars.

Boost in the Battery Capacity

The year 2020 brings to the Chevrolet Bolt EVsa boost in its battery capacity that increased the mileage to a significant level. But the most amazing fact about this is that Chevrolet did this without making any physical change to the pack or evenin the integral part that takes effect in the vehicle structure. So apparently you drive the same looking Bolt, but actually you are driving much ahead with the same single charge.

The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV hence with a 10-percent boost in its battery capacity, can now travel up to 259 miles as rated by the EPA which it obtains with the help of a 200-hp motor, working together with the new battery with the front-wheels configured as the drivetrain.

Other Changes this Year

Now you can paint your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt in either of the two new paint colors, which are given the names as Cayenne Orange Metallic and Oasis Blue. The trims however continue to be the same LT and Premier like we saw in the previous 2019 versions.

No Less Than a Compact Car

The 2020 Bolt EV can fit into its cabin four to five adult people while leaving a 17 cubic feet of cargo room for gear lying behind the second row. To increase the space one can tumble down the second row and that is no less than what’s provided in any compact car, or a compact crossover SUV model.

From the Smithfield Chevrolet dealer we came to know that this year Chevrolet incorporated an Energy Assist feature in the 2020 Bolt models tomake it easy for the owners to search for the nearest charging stations.

It will help them to plan a trip with their bolt or receive important advices about the charging options that are going to be available along the route they are driving. This feature is integrated with the infotainment system of the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt that comes with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility.
