This is Chevy's affordable entry into the EV game, with a starting price of less than $37,000 -- though it's not saying how much.

And, with a range of 238 miles on a charge, it's legitimately practical.

The car is a five-seater, five-door hatchback with plenty of room for...whatever. Up to and including big dogs.

And, indeed, the car is fun to drive. It's quick, with a 0-60 speed of less than 7 seconds.

And with the battery pack down in the floor, it has great handling, too.

Though with tires as hard as a rock, don't expect to set any slalom speed records.

The Chevy Bolt is entering production soon and should be available in dealerships before long!
