Model years to avoid

Chevrolet Bolt EV

What it says about you

Opinion

You did the arithmetic before it was fashionable and were right, which nobody has yet congratulated you for. You know the location of every charger within forty miles and mention them unprompted.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

3 model years on record, 392 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 2. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2017 (return center). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2027 1 recall 3 complaints
  2. 2018 5 recalls 73 complaints
  3. 2017 return center 316 complaints
