Why You Should Choose a Chevrolet Bolt EV Over a Tesla Model 3

The Chevrolet Bolt EV is a revolutionary EV that comes with tremendous autonomy, powerful torque, high-end amenities and many other characteristics that make it the best choice in the electric car segment. The Tesla Model 3 is one of the Bolt’s rivals, but it falls short in key areas when the two models are compared.

Here’s an overview of why you should choose a Chevrolet Bolt over a Tesla Model 3.

The Chevrolet Bolt offers better price for the range

The Chevrolet Bolt can take you anywhere. On a full charge, it can travel 417 kilometres before it needs to be plugged in. And the best part is that every trim in the Bolt lineup has this range figure, not just the base trims. On the Model 3, you will need to dish out $52,990 for the Standard Plus model to get a similar range. The Bolt EV starts $44,998 before incentives.

The Chevrolet Bolt has better equipment

The Bolt EV has you covered in the technology department. For example, the Bolt lineup features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The Tesla Model 3’s lineup doesn’t. Moreover, you will find the Chevy Bolt easier to drive because it has a crystal-clear 8-inch Driver Information Center as well as the large, 10.2-inch colour touchscreen. The Tesla Model 3 only has one scree which can create confusion.

The Chevrolet Bolt EV is backed by Chevrolet’s dealer network

The Tesla Model 3 is also known for several problems. The chipping paint issue is one of them, especially in our climate, on top of the known manufacturing and assembly issues.

But one important thing Tesla doesn’t have is a solid dealership network. If your Model 3 needs to come in for a recall, you only have a few service centres in the country that can conduct it. On top of that, parts availability is scarce and customer service is notoriously mediocre.
