Chevy’s 2017 Bolt Electric Car Looks Shockingly Cool

Eleven months ago, Chevrolet promised to beat Tesla to building an affordable, yet long-range electric car, unveiling the Bolt concept car and vowing to build it next year. With a promised range of 200 miles on a charge, and a price tag in the range of $30,000 after government incentives, the Bolt was the most ambitious all-electric car from Detroit since General Motors’ ill-fated EV1.

Since then, Chevrolet has been fairly quiet about the project, but as auto show season heats up, it’s clear the Bolt has moved closer to reality. With the unveil of the production version now scheduled for the Consumer Electronics Show in January, spy team SpiedBilde has caught the Bolt undisguised in the wild—and from here, it looks like Chevy might have a winner.
