I bought my Orange Blast Metallic Bolt EV Premier on April 1, 2017. I thought I might be tempting fate - buying a first model year car, full of cutting edge technology, built by General Motors, on April Fools Day. I was expecting many trips to the dealer to fix a litany of hardware and software issues. Nope. Didn’t happen. To my surprise, it’s the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Yes, there have been a couple of recalls, including The Big One to replace the battery pack. My old battery pack was still giving me great range and no problems, but GM offered a new one with more range and a brand-new 80K warranty and I took it.
My first trip in Vinny, to Las Vegas back in 2017, was an adventure. Following an app that purported to help find charging stations sometimes led us to a single unattended 110 v outlet outside an abandoned store. But we made it. The most recent trip, to northern Arizona, was a breeze. Charging infrastructure has improved SO MUCH since 2017.
My Bolt has been my only car since 2017 and after 60,000 miles I can say it’s been a great car. I won’t go back to an ICE car when my Bolt’s days are done. I have seen the future. I have lived the future. It rocks.![IMG_2748.jpeg IMG_2748.jpeg](https://cdn.imagearchive.com/mychevybolt/data/attachments/0/536-832e2691cafcc68d351dc81e3cc00224.jpg)
