2017 Chevy Bolt EV shows up in AutoBook configurator

This morning, as I was getting my day at work started, I opened the General Motors “AutoBook” application, which I use to configure vehicles for customer order. Much to my delight, the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is now in the configuration software!

This does NOT mean I can order one quite yet…but it’s a good first step.

Here is the configuration option screen for the lower-level Bolt EV (LT):

Here is the configuration option screen for the upper-level Bolt EV (Premier):What I’ve noticed is the following:

• Paint options are almost the same. The Premier gets an extra color: Silver Ice Metallic.
• The LT has only one seating option: Dark Galvanized/Sky Cool Gray cloth. The Premier has three leather options (but no cloth): Dark Galvanized/Sky Cool Gray, Dark Galvanized Gray and Light Ash Gray/Ceramic White.
• The LT offers a Comfort and Convenience Package, which adds heated seats, heated steering wheel and auto-dimming rearview mirror (standard features on the Premier).
• Unlike the Chevy Volt, the entry-level Bolt EV has an optional Driver Confidence Package, which adds Side Blind Zone Alert w/ Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Rear Parking Assist, which are standard on the Premier. The Driver Confidence Package requires the Comfort and Convenience Package, as a prerequisite.
• The Premier also has a few options not available on the LT (of course), like:
  • Infotainment Package: Adds Bose speakers, wireless device charging and two USB charging-only ports for the back seat passengers.
  • Driver Confidence II Package: Adds Low Speed Automatic Braking, Lane Keep Assist w/Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking and Intellibeam Headlamps. The Driver Confidence II Package requires the Comfort and Convenience Package, as a prerequisite.
• Other options, available on both trim levels, include:
  • Aluminum sill plates
  • All weather floor mats
  • All weather cargo mat
  • black or dark silver grille (paint color restrictions apply)
  • universal tablet holders
  • CCS fast charging capability
  • Wheel locks

Have fun checking the options out. I have no pricing information, other than entry-level pricing starts at $37,495+TT&L, has been released yet.
