Whether you’re driving through downtown Bethlehem or you’re making your way toward the east side, you’re going to be dealing with plenty of traffic due to Bethlehem’s quite large metropolitan area. We know you’re tired of waiting at stoplights, being stuck in traffic, and worrying about the price of gas. That’s why we’re excited to help you find a Chevy Bolt for sale that will ease your driving worries, reduce your costs, and provide a safe, comfortable ride for you and your passengers. We’re talking about the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, Chevy’s newest offerings on the electric vehicle market.
If you’ve never considered an electric vehicle, or have been waiting for prices to go down, now is the perfect time for you to consider purchasing one of Chevy’s latest electric models. Curious about how an electric vehicle can make your life easier? Then let’s see what the Bolts have in store for us.
Chevy Offers a Discount After Rebate Offer Is Discontinued
Now that Chevrolet has produced a multitude of electric vehicles, the federal government has discontinued the rebate offered to new buyers, which of course, made the competition a bit stiffer. To counteract this, however, Chevrolet is now offering a discount on both the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV, with a price cut of over $6,000. This keeps them competitive while also providing customers with easy entry into the electric vehicle market.
We remember when people were afraid to switch to electric, partially because of a lack of charging stations, partially because of the steep price, and partially because the technology just wasn’t up to par. Chevrolet has upped the game for the electric vehicle market, and buyers will only profit from it. You’ll have your pick of vehicles, standard and available safety and technology features, and roominess for all those friends, family members, and whatever luggage, sports equipment, tools, and gear you’ll need.
With such competitive pricing, you won’t have to worry about the steep upfront costs, and you won’t have to cringe every time the price of gas fluctuates. Instead, you’ll be breathing a sigh of relief as you plug your car in, knowing that you’re helping yourself and the environment by driving a Bolt to Westgate Mall, a Christmas celebration, or one of the many music and arts events around Bethlehem.
Quick-Charging, Regenerative Braking, & No Home Charger Necessary
Many individuals interested in electric vehicles know that the upfront cost is what makes the initial switch a hassle. There’s the home charger, finding the charging stations, knowing which ones take your specific charger, and of course, all the accessories that might come along with such things. Fortunately, Chevrolet has made it easier to charge both Bolts, with a dual-level charging cord and DC fast charging capability. With a public DC Fast Charge station, you can add on 100 miles every half hour, and a full charge only requires seven hours on a home 240-volt charger. With this amount of time saved, you can do the fun stuff without the annoyance of finding a charging station and sitting there, bored, for a couple of hours. If you’re at 50 miles, for instance, and you just want to run by the Bethlehem Area Public Library, then you might want to sit for a half hour and add that 100 extra miles on top to ensure you’ll be able to make it there and back again with all of your books, music, and visual media.
The Bolt EUV might require an at-home charger, but it also manages to get almost 100 extra miles when charged for half an hour with the 240-volt plug. If you need a bigger vehicle with a little extra wiggle room, the EUV is probably the best choice for you. If, however, you’re looking for a small commuter, the EV is an excellent choice. No matter which model you go with, you’ll be able to drive confidently, knowing that your car can charge in no time.
Let’s Take a Peek Inside
Doing what you can for the environment is commendable, but we know you also need to feel comfortable, with room to stretch and grow. With either of the Bolts, you’ll be sitting in a spacious cabin with lots of cargo space for all those odds and ends that people need for short trips, day trips, and possibly a family vacation. No matter where you’re going, you’ll love how easy it is to sink back into the seat, turn on some music, and relax, even if you’re taking on the driving duties.
The Bolt EV has space for two rows of passengers, and the back row is even big enough for adults not to feel crowded. The front seats have been redone, and the steering wheel is flat on the bottom, providing more room for shifting legs. The Bolt EUV also boasts a race-like steering wheel, along with a slightly bigger length, which gives those passengers in the back some extra legroom. Depending on which trim level you buy, there are also perks for those who, like us, live in Bethlehem and have to deal with cold winter days; a heated steering wheel and heated seats provide enough warmth to get you through the cold commute to your office, the gym, or school.
Technology & Safety Suites
Many safety aids have become standard for all new vehicles, and technology has remained pretty competitive since digital gauge clusters and infotainment centers came out. There are things that some drivers don’t want and some that everyone comes to expect, so where do the Bolts land?
The Chevy Bolt EV comes standard with a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment center, which is two inches more than a lot of other vehicles’ screens. There are built-in apps in case you want to listen to your playlists or podcasts, and of course, the infotainment center is compatible with your phone. You can purchase a subscription to utilize the Bolt EV’s wireless smartphone charging and mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Both the Bolts come with a digital gauge display, though only the Bolt EUV is capable of contacting the driver via an app that lets you see how far along it is in the charging cycle, which is incredibly helpful if you’re grabbing a bite to eat with friends at New Street Pub or The Bayou while you wait.
As for safety features, the Bolt EV comes standard with things like automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, and more. However, the adaptive cruise control and 360-degrees camera are optional. The Bolt EUV, on the other hand, comes with pedestrian detection, as well as an available Super-Cruise, Chevrolet’s unique system that allows for a no-hands approach to driving under the right conditions.
Moving Towards Electric
When it comes down to it, the world is moving toward electric options for transportation. We won’t always have to rely on fossil fuels to get to work, attend a school function, or meet up at a family reunion. We’re going to have to take the plunge eventually, so why not go ahead and do so with the Chevy Bolt EV or EUV? No one can beat the price, and they’re competitive in all other areas with the rest of the electric vehicle market. You won’t regret picking up one of these beauties.
