It was a significant vehicle as it brought a long-range electric vehicle to the mass market at a relatively affordable price.**Key Characteristics of the 2017 Bolt EV LT:*** **All-Electric Powertrain:** The heart of the Bolt EV was its electric motor and large battery pack. This provided instant torque, smooth acceleration, and a quiet driving experience.* **Impressive Range:** The 2017 Bolt EV boasted an EPA-estimated range of **238 miles** on a single charge, which was exceptional for its time and made it a practical option for many drivers.* **Practical and Spacious Interior:** Despite its relatively small exterior footprint, the Bolt EV offered a surprisingly spacious and versatile interior.

The LT trim came standard with a large touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a digital instrument cluster.* **Urban-Friendly Size:** Its compact size made it easy to maneuver in city traffic and find parking.* **Regenerative Braking:** Like most EVs, the Bolt EV featured regenerative braking, which helped recapture energy during deceleration and extend the range.* **Charging Flexibility:** The Bolt EV could be charged using a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), a 240V home charger (Level 2), or a DC fast charger (though DC fast charging was often an optional extra on the LT trim).**Standard Features on the 2017 Bolt EV LT (may vary slightly):*** 10.2-inch Diagonal Color Touchscreen Infotainment System* Apple CarPlay and Android Auto* Rear Vision Camera* Keyless Open and Start* Automatic Climate Control* Cruise Control* Teen Driver Technology* LED Daytime Running Lamps* 17-inch Painted Aluminum Wheels**What the LT Trim Generally Lacked Compared to the Premier Trim:**The LT trim was the base model, so it didn't include some of the more premium features found on the higher Premier trim, such as:* Leather-appointed seats* Heated front and rear seats* Heated steering wheel* Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert* Lane Keep Assist* Forward Collision Alert* Bose premium audio system* Roof rails**In Summary:**The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV LT was a groundbreaking and practical electric vehicle that offered a compelling combination of long range, usable interior space, and modern technology at a relatively accessible price point.
