The Chevy Bolt EV was introduced in 2017 and has since sold about 50,000 vehicles. When the Bolt EV was first available, it was the first 200-mile plus electric vehicle that cost under $40,000. With a 238 mile range, and a starting price of $37,495 for the base LT version, the Bolt EV offers a lot of range and utility.
It’s a five-passenger, front wheel drive hatchback, that’s smaller than the Nissan LEAF, and also has a little more pep. Some Bolt EV owners have reported getting 300 miles per charge when driving the car gently, so the Bolt EV is a great long range EV, for a relatively affordable price.
If you want to step up to a more well equipped version, the Bolt Premier is available for a starting MSRP of $41,895. The Bolt Premier comes with upgraded wheels, leather interior, a full suite of electronic safety alerts among other upgrades.
The Bolt EV will accept 32 amps and charge at 7.7 kW, making the JuiceBox Pro 32 or JuiceBox Pro 40 the perfect Chevy Bolt chargers.
The Chevy Volt is a plug in hybrid electric vehicle that can go 53 miles on electricity alone before the gasoline range extender turns on to allow the car to travel another 367 miles before needing to refuel or recharge the batteries. This gives the Chevy Volt a total driving range of 420 miles.
The Chevy Volt is a front wheel drive five-passenger hatchback and has a starting MSRP of $33,520. Unfortunately, Chevrolet decided to discontinue the Volt in April of 2019, despite selling more than 200,000 Volts (including the Volt’s European version the Ampera) worldwide since 2011.
The 2019 Volts were able to charge at 30 amps, (7.2kW) while previous model years could accept a maximum of 15 amps (3.6 kW). Looking for a Chevy Volt charger? The JuiceBox 32 would be an excellent choice for any model year Chevy Volt, as it will deliver 32 amps, which is more than enough power. You may also consider the JuiceBox 40, so you have some extra power, in case your future EV can accept a higher charge rate.
