As we’ve covered previously, Chevy has released a series of videos covering various features and owner tips for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8. Now, the Bow Tie brand has done the same thing for the Chevrolet Bolt EV, providing insight into what it’s like to own and operate the battery-driven hatchback.
Chevrolet Bolt EV
The new series is called the Chevrolet Bolt EV Academy, and it includes 15 well-produced videos designed to inform both current and future Bolt EV owners.
According to the automaker, the videos cover things like “unique features, driving tips and how-tos,” which are obviously great for Chevrolet Bolt EV owners looking to get the most from their vehicle. What’s more, the videos paint a picture of what EV ownership is really like, which could be helpful for prospective buyers as well.
More specifically, some of the topics covered include how to charge at home, how to charge on a road trip, using the regenerative battery function for “one pedal driving,” operation of the infotainment system, operation of the safety features, and driving in cold weather.
The videos are currently posted at Chevy’s YouTube channel, as well as on Chevrolet.com, the MyChevy app, and the Chevrolet owner center.
The videos are interesting and informative, and include excellent narration and commentary from the engineers and vehicle experts who created the Chevrolet Bolt EV. The imagery and camera work is also top-notch, and does well to illustrate the topics on hand, some of which are relatively complicated. Nevertheless, the videos boil each topic down into easily digestible chunks, with run times varying between a minute and two minutes.
Indeed, with arrival of even more GM EV vehicles just over the horizon, these videos can provide a better understanding of what to expect in terms of features and driving experience.

There are some respectable deals out there on Bolts right now. Seems like at some dealers their are 2020s available for ~26k. Which is where they should be priced in the GM lineup imo. About the same price as a Malibu premier, or mid trim trailblazer, but substantially under the price of a CT4 base. After driving both a bolt and the new trailblazer I would personally choose the bolt 100% of the time.
Very smart. Not sure why it took GM so long to think of this.
There were higher rebates Jan-Mar. I bought my loaded 2020 LT out the door for $27400 out the door 4 months ago today. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.
All these promotional videos are well and good. But…where we live in Columbus, OH there are not enough DC Fast chargers within a 200-300 mile radius to make a trip practical. A normal one-day trip in an IC vehicle could turn into a 2-3 day trip, with the added expense of overnight stays. I already got burnt for $7,500 on a 2018 Nissan LEAF lease. I tried to take a day trip with a full charge (129 miles) and only got 63 miles from home. The vehicle stranded me on a 20 degree day and had to be towed back to Columbus. The Nissan dealer blamed me for “improper use of the vehicle”. I now have a 2014 Chevrolet Volt and am very pleased. I don’t have to worry about being stranded far from home as long as gasoline is available.
you didn’t realize range can take a huge hit in cold weather like that? And especially with that battery pack?
