At Jim Schmidt Chevrolet of Delphos, we know that more and more drivers here in Ohio, and beyond, are upgrading their vehicle to the state-of-the-art power of electric these days, and we're proud to carry one of the best EV options around – the Chevy Bolt. If you're considering the newest Bolt models, and the Nissan LEAF is competing for your attention, we want to help. We've researched both cars, and we have the inside scoop on what makes the Chevy Bolt a better investment.
For starters, the Chevy Bolt EV goes further, with a 259-mile EV range, compared to 149 miles for the Nissan hatchback, and it also takes less time to charge. You can get your Chevy Bolt EV from 0 to a fully charged system in around 7.5 hours, while it takes at least 8 hours to get the Nissan LEAF up to speed.
Additionally, the Chevy Bolt is more comfortable and gives St. Marys, OH and Continental, OH drivers more space to stretch out in than the Nissan LEAF. This includes slightly more shoulder room in both rows, and it includes extra inches of legroom in both rows as well, with 3 more inches in the backseat of the Chevy when compared to the Nissan.
Finally, when it comes to getting you to the store in Wapakoneta, OH or to the office in Lima, OH, the Chevy Bolt EV has a greater power output right out of the gate than the Nissan LEAF. Drivers can expect 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque standard with every Bolt hatchback, while the Nissan LEAF produces just 147 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque at its base version.
