As spring looms pleasantly around the corner for all of us here at West Chevy of Knoxville, we are paying close attention to how different automakers worldwide are pledging in their own ways to aid the state of the environment. During the annual CERAWeek energy conference in Houston, GM Ceo Mary Barry announced that with the increase in global demand, Chevy Bolt EV Production is slated to be ramped up drastically. This production will take place at the Orion Assembly plant north of Detroit, and the ultimate goal is to build around 30,000 units per year.
Heavily in the spotlight as of late has been the grave importance regarding the need to remove barriers that exist in consumers accepting the presence of electronic vehicles. Our sales and service staff here at West Chevy believes that the energy industry, as well as various other stakeholders, should partner with auto manufacturers to develop a healthy infrastructure for charging, that drives consumers' confidence to be able to use their EV's in all types of locations. Last year, Chevy proudly announced a drastic expansion of electric car plans, and among them are 2 new electric vehicles based on the EV Bolt Platform within the next 18 months.
There will also be 18 more within the next 5 years, a period of very rapid growth.
The base LT trim for the Bolt leaves you equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, HID headlights, a rearview camera, single-zone automatic climate control, keyless start/entry, an 8.0-inch re-configurable display, and Chevy's MyLink infotainment system, accompanied by a 10.2-inch touchscreen. We can show you all of the details about the Premiere Trim level as well: here you gain leather upholstery, a 360-degree view camera system, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, heated front and rear seats, blind spot warning, rear parking sensors, and rear-cross traffic alert.
During the all-important IIHS testing stages, last year's Bolt EV received a score of “good” on every single crash test except for the headlight category, as well as the “Superior”rating on the front crash prevention test. This was due to the avoidance of a 12 as well as 25 – MPH collision, and the Bolt then received Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS for the entire year. Behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats you'll find 16.9 cubic feet of cargo space, and when they are folded all the way down, offer up 56.6 cubic feet. U.S. News claimed in its car blog this month that the 2018 Bolt has “zippy performance and a spacious interior”, and commended it for its long range, quick charging time, and abundant power.
We can show you here at West Chevy how the Bolt boasts the claim to one of the longest ranges available for electric cars. At 238 total miles, it's easy to rejuvenate the battery power overnight with the use of a 240-volt charger. You'll potentially save hundreds of dollars with the alleviation of a fuel budget, and we are all very excited about the soon-to-be-heightened level of production for the country's most smart and sophisticated option for a versatile electric car!
