There is much excitement and anticipation for car enthusiasts as to what General Motors (GM) is working on to follow up on their popular 2017 Chevrolet Bolt. As it turns out, Chevrolet is one step ahead of everybody. The year 2017 is just barely three months old and already, Chevrolet is looking ahead for next year. Plans are already in place for a new 2018 Chevrolet Bolt.

The new 2018 Chevrolet Bolt is the latest electric vehicle (EV) model of Chevrolet and is expected to come sometime next year in 2018, according to a report from Auto World News. With the surging popularity of compact electric cars, the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt is the latest addition on the compact electric cars market. Chevrolet hopes the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt would be able to stand toe to toe against its competitors like the all new Nissan leaf and the Tesla 3 model.

According to Chevrolet, 2018 Chevrolet Bolt is a more affordable electric vehicle than the Tesla Model 3. The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt does have a higher price compared to the Nissan Leaf, but the current range of the Nissan Leaf is well below the 200-mile range of the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt and the Tesla Model 3

Despite being a small car on the outside, the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt is spacious on the inside. Compared to the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt is packed with plenty of all new tech features.

The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt comes with a mobile app that's Bluetooth connected and wireless charging. The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt also has automatic climate control and a navigation system that is primarily tailored for the EV requirements.

Under the hood of the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt is a compact electric motor with direct-drive gearbox. The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt will have a much bigger lithium-ion battery.

While the new 2018 Chevrolet Bolt looks exciting, the public would probably have to wait a little longer before they could get their hands on the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt. General Motors announced last week that they won't be selling any units to the general public and instead they would target private companies and ride-hailing companies like Lyft, via a report from Cars Technica.
