2017 Chevy Bolt EV Release Date

The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV was unveiled today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas before a live crowd and a packed Facebook stream. This all-electric vehicle may not hit the lot here at Broadway for some time but it’s forging new ground on the abilities of electric vehicles. While the future may hold a variety of electric trucks and cars, smaller vehicles like the Bolt are probably the first step.
