The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.

2026 Chevrolet Bolt EV review
Chevrolet Bolt EV: everyday electric done well enough. Illustrative review
8.2/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Chevrolet Bolt EV is a strong contender in its class. Standard driver-assist suite; easy infotainment with phone mirroring. Road noise on coarse pavement and some features locked to upper trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $30,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.
