The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV and Volt: On the Way to a Greener Future

“Green” cars are still at their infancy stage and seem so far to be reserved to pioneers of the green revolution. These types of vehicles are separated in two categories: hybrid cars and (completely) electrical cars. The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV and Volt belong to the latter and represent the best option for people that want to drive in the most eco-friendly way possible. You’ll find these two promising vehicles at Christin Automobiles, your Chevrolet car dealer of Montreal, near Laval and Repentigny.

No More Excuses

It’s important not to confuse electrical cars with hybrid cars: the latter are vehicles powered by both a gas and one or several electrical engines plus a battery, while purely electric cars have no fossil fuel source. As a general rule, the synergy between the gasoline engine and the electric motor (s) of hybrid cars gives them a greater autonomy than electric cars. This last argument is one of the main reasons for which electrical cars (those that rely entirely on an electrical engine and a battery) are still shunned by consumers, but it can’t be used as an excuse anymore. The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV offers an impressive 380 kilometers of autonomy on a single charge! On the other hand, the 2018 Chevrolet Volt offers a range of 85 kilometers (probably more than you travel in a day or between two charges), which is offset by its relatively fast charging time (less than 5 hours). Plus, it has a small and highly efficient gas engine that allows you to keep driving for hundreds more kilometers until the next charge! All things being equal, these electric cars are therefore very competitive options compared to hybrid vehicles offered by the competition and are even more environmentally friendly.

No Compromises Needed

The Chevrolet Bolt EV and Volt 2018 are not only green cars: they are attractive on many other fronts, starting with their smart and urban design. In addition, you won’t have to make any compromises in terms of entertainment or driver assistance and security features: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 4G LTE network are available on both models, which are also compatible with the myChevrolet app. This will allow you, among other things, to turn on / off your engine, open / close your doors, as well as view critical information about your vehicle from your phone. The future is not just green, it is also incredibly connected!

The future is here and it’s up to you embrace it by choosing either the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV or Volt. It’s not going to be an easy choice, but you can start by trying them out at Christin Automobiles, your Chevrolet car dealer of Montreal, near Laval and Repentigny.
