For your 2019 Chevy Bolt EV I highly recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359, which features a sleek hidden crosstube design that looks great on a new vehicle like yours (see attached images) and also features the only 2" receiver available for your Bolt. This larger receiver just opens the door to many more bike rack options, as the choices can be somewhat limited for the smaller 1-1/4" hitch receivers.

For your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV with flush mounted rails, I recommend the extremely quiet and low profile Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425. To install these on your roof, you also need a set of SkyLine Towers # Y53TR and Custom Fit Landing Pads # Y00245. The JetStream Crossbars are full length (50 inches) and have a capacity of 165 lbs, so the Yakima roof rack actually provides the most space and strength of any other roof rack system available for your Chevy Bolt.
There are a few roof... view full answer...
I have a few really great low clearance tire chains that fit the tire size 215/50-17 you have on your 2019 Chevy Bolt EV. The ultimate in terms of clearance is the Konig K-Summits part # TH02230K33 as no portion of the chain drapes over the inside sidewall of the tire. This basically eliminates any possible clearance issues so it's the safest in that regard and our most often solution for vehicles that have very limited clearances for chains.
The easiest to install set that also is Class... view full answer...
A stabilization strap is not required when utilizing the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11457 on your 2019 Chevy Bolt EV.
For a long time Curt did require the use of additional stabilization straps for their lower rated hitches when using hitch-mounted accessories (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) to maintain the warranty, but somewhat recently they have eliminated this requirement. This is why you may see questions here and there addressing this, as they are simply older pages... view full answer...
I highly recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 for bike rack and cargo carrier usage on your 2019 Chevy Bolt EV because it is the only trailer hitch option that has a 2" receiver. The larger receiver means that you have access to a wider variety of bike racks and cargo carriers. Attached is an installation video for you to check out as well as a few photos of the hitch installed on a '19 Bolt EV so you can get an idea of what it looks like.

Thanks so much for the photos! I can see how you might be confused. I went ahead and confirmed with Yakima that these rails are considered flush rails with fixed mounting points on your 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV.
For a great roof rack system for your setup, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 19 # Y00245

For your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV there are only Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Draw Tite part # 24956 which will limit your choices but there are still great options for your vehicle.
The Saris Freedom part # SA4025F is the best ightweight option. It's easy to remove and only weighs 35 lbs which is very light for a platform bike rack. This rack also only touches the tires of the bikes when loaded so it won't damage or scratch any paint finishes. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24956 is a great option for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV and it will allow you to use a number of different bike racks so you can carry your bikes to and from the trails. It has a hidden design so most of the hitch will be discretely tucked behind the bumper.
The best bike rack will really come down to the type of bikes you have, most of them do fold/tilt. The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4"... view full answer...
No there will only be 1-1/4 inches for the 2017 Chevy Bolt. The issue is that manufacturers match up the vehicle capabilities with the appropriate size hitch. The Bolt just doesn't have the capacity to necessitate a 2 inch trailer hitch because it could easily be overloaded.
Curt hitch # C11457 is your best option. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory... view full answer...
To load the inside bike on the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F you would not necessarily need to lift the bike vertically over the tilted arms. What you can do is lift the bike up high enough to get on the wheel cradles but instead angle the bike in and push it to the side far enough that the back tire clears the other arm of the rack. Then you can bring it back to the other side and center it on the rack and fit the cradles.

I did some checking and the only way to safely transport a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV behind a motorhome is going to be with a tow dolly as you'd damage it if all four wheels were on the ground. The Demco Kar Kaddy 3 part # DM9713046 is a kit that comes with everything needed including a self-contained braking system and a steering axle. view full answer...
Out of the available selection for your 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV I recommend using the Yakima roof rack. This gives you the aero-style bars for a contemporary look while keeping the 165 lb weight capacity that is the typical max rating for roof racks.
This roof rack consists of the 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and the Landing Pad 19 # Y00245. I also recommend installing the Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07204 to deter theft of your roof rack. 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.

The Curt hitch for your 2017 Chevy Volt EV is the # C11457. The # C11378 is for a Nissan Versa and is why the instructions you have are for that vehicle. There would be no way to install that hitch on your vehicle. view full answer...
There is one trailer hitch receiver that stands above the rest for your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV, which is the hitch from EcoHitch; I verified with them the correct part number for your '23 Bolt EV is the following:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359
The reason the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 is easily the best for your 2023 Bolt EV is because it is the only one with a 2 inch hitch receiver, and its 300 lb tongue weight rating is also the highest for hitches that fit. The other hitches... 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...
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...
The best option we can offer to help you reuse an old Karrite Voyager Cargo Box would be a new set of u-bolts which would require drilling a few holes, the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Roof Cargo Box part # CTC-18PARTS is what most people use.
Unfortunately, most cargo boxes don't mount using t-bolts so I do not recommend this. view full answer...
For your 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV with nothing on the roof, I recommend the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV Roof Rack by Yakima which consists of:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06123
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06181
Also, the Yakima Same Key System # Y07204 which will allow you to secure the roof rack to your roof.

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7359 is a great option for a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV as it has the larger receiver tube size which allows for more accessories to be used. If you wish to tow a trailer then you will need to install trailer wiring as well but there are no custom fit or confirmed fit options for this vehicle unfortunately as it's is not rated to tow. That said, you should be able to get the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector... view full answer...
