LAS VEGAS – Chevrolet is introducing the 2017 Bolt EV at the Consumer Electronics Show, fulfilling its promise to offer a long-range, affordable electric vehicle for the masses.

The Bolt EV, which will go into production by the end of 2016, will offer more than 200 miles of range on a full charge. It also features advanced connectivity technologies designed to enhance and personalize the driving experience.

“It was less than a year ago that we revealed the Bolt EV concept and promised to deliver a long-range electric vehicle attainable by the masses,” GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra said. “The Bolt EV is capable of using the latest mobile app technology to enable car sharing, advanced GPS routing and gamification, all designed to enhance the ownership experience now and into the future.”

Connectivity Simplifies Ownership Experience

The Bolt EV benefits directly from the suggestions and ideas of Volt owners and features technologies that make owning a long-range electric vehicle easy.

The Bolt EV’s connectivity innovations will provide smart, personalized solutions for managing the driving experience. For example, in the future an accurate driving range projection will be based on the time of day, typography, weather and the owner’s driving habits.

Bluetooth low-energy – designed specifically for the Bolt EV to minimize energy draw – seamlessly connects a smart phone to the car while the owner approaches the vehicle.

Many of the Bolt EV’s driver-focused technologies are supported by OnStar 4G LTE, which turns the Bolt EV into a Wi-Fi hotspot, giving owners easier access to apps and services via a high-speed wireless connection.

Other connectivity and infotainment features include:

10.2’’ MyLink color touch-screen display
Customizable, widget-based “flip-board style” operation
Rear Camera Mirror
Rear-facing camera provides a wide-angle view of the environment behind the vehicle.
Surround Vision
Provides a bird’s-eye view of what’s around the Bolt EV for improved safety during low-speed driving and when parking.
All-New MyChevrolet Mobile App: Combines important owner and vehicle information and functions, such as:
Vehicle charge status
OnStar Map service
Remote start
Cabin pre-conditioning
Owner’s manual information
Dealer service scheduling
EV Navigation Mapping
EV-specific navigation capability that designs routes to maximize range and provide locations of nearby charging station locations if needed.
Gamification
In the future, Bolt EV owners will be able to “compete” by comparing driving styles to determine who is driving most efficiently.

The Bolt EV will be built at GM’s Orion (Mich.) Assembly facility, near Detroit.

Any word on MSRP?

GM keeps saying $30k after tax credits so I'd expect the full MSRP around $38k.

I hope they do like Nissan where they take the $7500 from the price at the dealer and do the filing for you. Therefore, you drive off at $30k and not have to worry about filing for it at the beginning of tax filing season. Did this for my Leaf and made it easier. Bought my Volt and filed on my own as GM wanted to keep part of that $7500 tax credit to themselves.
