Carvia Insights

A 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV can be a reasonable purchase if the battery has been replaced under the recall and is still under warranty. However, potential steering issues and general wear and tear for an 8-year-old vehicle warrant a thorough inspection. If these concerns are addressed, the Bolt EV can be an affordable EV option.

Key Risk Factors:

  • • Potential battery issues, as 2017 Bolt EVs were subject to a recall for battery fires [1, 6]. Verify the battery has been replaced under the recall and that the new battery has a valid warranty [3].
  • • Steering issues have been reported in some 2017 Bolts, including binding or failure to return to center [1]. This could lead to costly repairs.

Recommendations:

  • • Obtain a pre-purchase inspection from a qualified mechanic experienced with EVs, focusing on the battery, steering, and braking systems [4].
  • • Inquire about the vehicle's maintenance history, especially regarding the battery and any related software updates [3].
