For your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, I recommend the Thule Evo WingBar System which is composed of part # TH711420, part # TH480R, and part # THKIT1857. This system has aero crossbars which will work to reduce wind noise and drag. It also has t-slots which will allow for the use of most aftermarket t-slot accessories. view full answer...
We have a universal style of trailer wiring harness that is a fit for your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV that doesn't require any splicing. What you would want is the # 119250KIT which instead of requiring hardwiring uses sensors that grab the wires without piercing them. view full answer...
Yes, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT47GR is a great option for carrying a bike rack with your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV - you just have to make sure the bike rack is rated for use on a Class I hitch receiver, and you don't load more than 2 on the rack. Class I receivers are weaker which is why those limitations are set in place by all of the hitch manufacturers.
If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR because... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Thule and was able to confirm that the Thule Roof Rack Fit Kit # TH45KE referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV as long as it has the flush mounted rails.
To complete the roof rack system, you will just add the Thule Feet # TH710601 and the two 47 inch WingBar Load Bars # TH711220. This will give you an extremely quiet roof rack with a weight capacity of 165 pounds. view full answer...
This is a really good question. Essentially in the US you'd be limited to using the # RRRGBH4 with a 5 gallon tank since Rhino Rack says you can't use it with a larger tank than 9 gallon which basically reduces it to being only able to be used with 5 gallon tanks. view full answer...
For your 2017 Chevy Bolt the Draw Tite hitch part # 24956 is a confirmed fit and would be the correct hitch for carrying a bike rack. The Saris Freedom part # SA4412B will work great in this hitch and has a 60 lb capacity.
Now if your tires are wider than 4-1/2 inches you'd need the fat tire adapter part # SA4419 otherwise it'd be good as-is without the adapter. view full answer...
Thanks for the picture! The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7359 is confirmed to fit the 2023 Bolt EV. I checked with EcoHitch, the cut in your Bolt's trim will be made below the rear light in your bumper.
I have attached a couple of pictures below that will show you where the cut is made along with an installation video. view full answer...
I have a couple of possible solutions for your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV.
First, though, the Draw-Tite Sports Frame, part # 24956, is a Class I hitch. It is not possible to carry more than 2 bikes on a rack for Class I hitches.
The first solution involves utilizing that 2-bike feature and carrying the other 2 in some other way. For the 2-bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Chinook, part # S64683. It can handle 2 bikes at 45 pounds each and fits into 1-1/4" hitches like yours. I've linked... view full answer...
EcoHitch has a hitch that fits your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV with the part # 306-X7359 but the # TL84CR actually fits the EUV models instead. view full answer...
The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is a great way to carry three bikes on your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. This is a trunk mount design that secures to the hatch of your Bolt and can easily be removed and stored in the vehicle when not in use. I like this rack because it comes with a lock to secure your bikes but it is also one of the most secure and stable trunk mount bike racks I have used. view full answer...
The Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 takes up 28-1/2" of crossbar space so you need crossbars at least 57" long so we need to go with a Yakima roof rack so we can upgrade to longer bars. For your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV I recommend using the JetStream crossbars so you'll need the following parts:
60" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00426
SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR
Landing Pad 19 - # Y00245
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)
This does have a 165 lb weight rating and the Hullavator Pro weighs in at 39.7... view full answer...
Yes, the portion of the 2019 Chevy Bolt where the EcoHitch part # 306-X7359 installs is strong enough to support the weight of a bike rack. It actually installs where the bumper beam attaches which is reinforced quite a bit.
For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F.
This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you... view full answer...
The hitch you mentioned # 24956 is a Class I hitch which means it has a very low weight capacity. That means it can only carry up to two bikes at a time due to the increased weight and leverage of bikes beyond the 2 bike portion of the rack. Also, Yakima does not have any bike racks compatible with Class I hitches.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite,... view full answer...
The wiring I recommend adding to the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for your 2020 Chevy Bolt EV is either the standard Kit # C59496 or the ZCI Kit # 119250KIT. The standard kit uses quick splices to connect to the wiring on your vehicle while the ZCI kit uses a clamping system that senses when the different light functions are used on your Bolt EV so you won't be cutting the factory wiring on your vehicle.
If the end goal is towing a small trailer then I also recommend... view full answer...
The hitch you purchased from us last year for your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24956. Class I hitches are a light-duty type that can handle the load of only 2-bikes, so most likely the rack you have is not a Class I-rated model but is instead a Class II and that is why it will not fit properly in the hitch.
In this hitch you must use a Class I-compatible rack of no more than 2-bike capacity like those shown on the linked page. The combined weight of the rack... view full answer...
The Sportrack Bike Rack part # SR2703 that you referenced can fit in Class I hitches like what you have installed on your 2017 Chevy Bolt, but you should note that you would be limited to carrying only 2 bikes with this rack since your hitch is a Class I. Due to the added weight and leverage of a third bike out at the rear of a bike rack Class I hitches should never be used to carry more than 2 bikes at a time. view full answer...
I would be happy to help you. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 306-X7359 is custom fit and bolts directly to your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV with included hardware. It does not require any drilling or welding. I have linked an installation video below. This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs. You will want to verify with your owners manual what your Bolts towing capacity is.

From what I could find it looks like the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV comes with flush rails mounted to the roof so for your application I recommend checking out the Inno Aero roof rack system which includes the following:
45" Aero Crossbars - # INXB115-2
Through Feet - # INXS350
Fit Kit - # IN88FR
These mount to the flush rails on your roof and give you a 140 lb weight rating which is pretty standard. I really like this system because the rubber channels in the top of the crossbars don't have... view full answer...
