The Chevrolet Bolt’s smart and functional shape follows the proven formula of small strollers: tall with lots of glass to make the interior airy, but reasonably short and narrow to create an easy-to-maneuver package. Bolt stood out for having these characteristics, along with an attractive price, in its debut in 2016, but competitors are recovering quickly. Still, its 200 horsepower makes moving around the city fast and effortless.
