OKEMOS, Mich. –– It was only in June when the first 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV sighting occurred and auto news outlets disseminated a few spy shots to the public. Shortly after, Chevy released a test-drive video of the electrified vehicle, followed by news that the Bolt EV would incorporate unique technology produced by LG Corp.

Now, Chevrolet has officially debuted the 2017 Bolt EV at the Consumer Electronics Show. It was an apropos environment to show off the electrified vehicle and promote its long-range capability and affordability.

Stemming from the suggestions and opinions of Chevy Volt drivers, the 2017 Bolt EV was created for EV-driving consumers with specific technologies in mind that make owning and driving a Chevy EV long distances more feasible than ever.

Making the driving experience more manageable through personalized solutions was a key factor in developing the Bolt EV. Thanks to innovative technology, drivers will be able to estimate driving range according to "the time of day, typography, weather, and the owner's driving habits," according to Chevy.

Other key features that come with the 2017 Bolt EV include Bluetooth low-energy, which connects an owner's smartphone to the car as they walk towards it, and many technologies supported by OnStar 4G LTE, making the Bolt EV a Wi-Fi hotspot.

With Chevrolet's official debut of the 2017 Bolt EV, other features, which you can learn more about here, were revealed, including:

  • 10.2-inch MyLink color touch-screen display
  • Rear Camera Mirror
  • Surround Vision
  • All-new MyChevrolet Mobile App
  • EV Navigation Mapping
  • Gamification

The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV will be manufactured at General Motors' Orion Assembly facility in Michigan. Although a date hasn't been set for when we can expect the Bolt EV to arrive in Chevy dealership showrooms, we're anticipating the vehicle's release sometime later in 2016.
