When we timed it, the Bolt went from 0 to 60 mph in only 6.9 seconds, which is respectable for an electric vehicle in this price range. You'll be able to merge onto highways or overtake if necessary easily. Suppose you choose not to utilize the single-pedal mode for most of your slowing from regenerative braking. In that case, the Bolt's brakes are steady and simple to handle. We like the latter since it is easier to use and has a greater range. For those looking to optimize energy recovery, there's even an extra regen brake paddle on the steering wheel.
