Here is a release direct from the Chevrolet Media Room. It will educate, inform and entertain.

LAS VEGAS – Chevrolet is introducing the 2017 Bolt EV at the Consumer Electronics Show, fulfilling its promise to offer a long-range, affordable electric vehicle for the masses.

The Bolt EV, which will go into production by the end of 2016, will offer more than 200 miles of range on a full charge. It also features advanced connectivity technologies designed to enhance and personalize the driving experience.

“It was less than a year ago that we revealed the Bolt EV concept and promised to deliver a long-range electric vehicle attainable by the masses,” GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra said. “The Bolt EV is capable of using the latest mobile app technology to enable car sharing, advanced GPS routing and gamification, all designed to enhance the ownership experience now and into the future.”

Connectivity Simplifies Ownership Experience

The Bolt EV benefits directly from the suggestions and ideas of Volt owners and features technologies that make owning a long-range electric vehicle easy.

The Bolt EV’s connectivity innovations will provide smart, personalized solutions for managing the driving experience. For example, in the future an accurate driving range projection will be based on the time of day, typography, weather and the owner’s driving habits.

Bluetooth low-energy – designed specifically for the Bolt EV to minimize energy draw – seamlessly connects a smart phone to the car while the owner approaches the vehicle.

Many of the Bolt EV’s driver-focused technologies are supported by OnStar 4G LTE, which turns the Bolt EV into a Wi-Fi hotspot, giving owners easier access to apps and services via a high-speed wireless connection.

Other connectivity and infotainment features include:

10.2’’ MyLink color touch-screen display
- Customizable, widget-based “flip-board style” operation
Rear Camera Mirror
- Rear-facing camera provides a wide-angle view of the environment behind the vehicle.
Surround Vision
- Provides a bird’s-eye view of what’s around the Bolt EV for improved safety during low-speed driving and when parking.
All-New MyChevrolet Mobile App: Combines important owner and vehicle information and functions, such as:
- Vehicle charge status
- OnStar Map service
- Remote start
- Cabin pre-conditioning
- Owner’s manual information
- Dealer service scheduling
EV Navigation Mapping
- EV-specific navigation capability that designs routes to maximize range and provide locations of nearby charging station locations if needed.
Gamification
- In the future, Bolt EV owners will be able to “compete” by comparing driving styles to determine who is driving most efficiently.

The Bolt EV will be built at GM’s Orion (Mich.) Assembly facility, near Detroit.

All electric. All efficient. All aboard.

An all-electric vehicle offering an estimated more than 200 miles of range per charge^† for an affordable price^† is how we define it. But passion and persistence are the principles used to accomplish it. Designed from the inside out, each element obsessed over: from the perfectly sculpted proportions to its distinctive technology, efficiency flows all around. Because when you experience Bolt EV, the difference is in every detail.

All-electric technology, now an everyday reality.

An all-electric vehicle offering an estimated more than 200 miles of range per charge^† for an affordable price^† – unheard of? Not anymore.

Customize and control with ease

By learning your every move, Bolt EV helps keep efficiency at its peak. Want to know how much energy you’ve used? There’s a screen for that. Valuable information like your battery levels, range estimation, charge settings and climate controls is readily available on the standard 10.2-inch diagonal center display screen and 8-inch diagonal driver cluster.

The Battery: Where it all starts.

You have places to go, and the Chevrolet Bolt EV makes it possible with a nickel-rich lithium-ion battery. Here’s how: The battery chemistry enhances heat resistance and a liquid cooling system helps manage its temperature when the outside climate varies. Plus, the battery pack has an energy capacity of 60 kWh – allowing you to travel an estimated more than 200 miles of range on a single charge.^†

And thanks to an innovative battery cell arrangement, Bolt EV offers a low-profile underbody. This maximizes interior space for passengers and cargo. The centrally located battery pack provides optimal center of gravity, for excellent ride and handling

A new outlook on driving

Surround Vision

This available feature uses four strategically placed cameras to create a virtual bird’s-eye view of the vehicle. All camera viewpoints seamlessly merge to transmit a clear side-by-side digital image to the large 10.2-inch diagonal screen, allowing you to see both the area behind and around you. Just by looking at one screen you get twice the view.

Rear Camera Mirror

This available innovative rearview mirror technology projects a wide-angle view of the area behind the vehicle in the inside rearview mirror. The mirror surface doubles as a video screen and provides the driver with a full, high-resolution view, without the obstruction of rear head restraints or rear-seat passengers. So you can make sure there’s nothing behind you but
a clear view.
