2019 CHEVROLET BOLT EV
This model year
What the record shows
The 2019 Chevrolet Bolt Ev is a small station wagon, and the 3rd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2017 to 2027.
The EPA rated one configuration: front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (A1) and running on electricity.
Combined fuel economy is 119 mpg.
NHTSA's best overall crash rating for this model year is 5 out of five stars.
The federal record holds 175 owner complaints, 6 safety recalls and 477 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
