New 2023 Chevrolet Bolt 2500HD Custom

When you’re looking to go electric with your next vehicle, you have plenty of options ahead of you. However, two consistently dominate the rest of the competition: the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf. Our team at Feldman Chevrolet of Highland created this Chevy Bolt vs. Nissan Leaf comparison to teach you a bit more about these top-notch electric vehicles. Read on below to see which EV works better for your rides around Highland, Hartford, and Milford, MI! The most appealing part of any electric vehicle is undoubtedly its performance. When anyone gets behind the wheel of an EV, they’re looking for unparalleled fuel economy and the power to turn heads around town. Both the Bolt and Leaf are certainly capable of that. The Bolt is powered by an electric drive unit, while a standard 110 kW AC synchronous electric motor does the work for the Leaf. Each engine is capable of commendable power, but you’ll see noticeably more in the Bolt. While the Leaf sees up to 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque with its standard engine, the Bolt churns out a jaw dropping 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. When it comes to fuel efficiency, the highlight of any EV, the Bolt once again shines a bit brighter. Even in some of its more premium trim levels, the Leaf’s highest possible battery range is 226 miles. There’s just no competing with the 259-mile range of the Bolt. Even in the EPA-estimated MPG equivalents, the Bolt is far ahead of the competition. With a 127 MPG city equivalent and 108 MPG highway equivalent, you’ll be able to stay out on the road longer. With either the Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf, you can look forward to easy and convenient charging options. An available 240-volt charging unit comes available for both the Bolt and Leaf, making at-home charging as simple as possible. With it, you’ll have no issue getting your EV back to full battery overnight. Both the Bolt and Leaf also offer mobile apps for you to easily find charging stations on-the-go. If you need a bit more charge to get you to your destination, the myChevrolet app for the Bolt or the EZ-Charge app for the Leaf will provide access to a massive database of public charging stations you can utilize on the road ahead. As impressive as the hybrid capabilities and effortless charging are, that’s likely not all you’re looking for in the Bolt or Leaf. Luckily, both come standardly equipped with beautifully crafted interior cabins designed for your comfort and convenience. That starts with their spacious seating options. Here, the Bolt once again grabs the advantage, providing those in the second row 36.01 inches of legroom compared to the 33.5 inches in the back of the Leaf. Still, these electric vehicles do share plenty of interior features such as: Automatic climate control, heated front seats, push button start/stop, 60/40 split-folding rear seating. Depending on which trim you choose, in either vehicle, you can also expect some upgrades like a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. When you look at the interior technology for both the Bolt and Leaf, you’ll find that both come with brilliant suites of connective, integrative, and infotainment technology. Unsurprisingly, the two share plenty of commons features in this department as well. Their shared features are highlighted by integrative smartphone technology like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both also come standard with Bluetooth connectivity alongside voice recognition software. Despite all their similar features, however, the Bolt does get a leg up on the Leaf once again. While you can access all your infotainment and connectivity features through the Leaf’s 8-inch touchscreen display, you’ll have a much easier time doing so on the 10.2-inch diagonal color touchscreen of the Bolt. The Bolt will also make staying connected on those longer rides much easier with available wireless device charging. You won’t see the same kind of technology inside the Leaf.
