Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bolt EV


  • Is Trimming Required To Install Trailer Hitch On 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • The trailer hitch options for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV all require minor trimming of an underbody fascia panel. That said, this won't even be visible from outside the vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11457 however does require the least amount of trimming so this is what I recommend. I have attached a photo below.

  • Bracket in The Way Installing Curt Hitch For 2020 Chevy Bolt
  • Thank you for the photos, and I do see that metal piece there interfering with the Curt Hitch # C11457 on your 2020 Chevy Bolt EV. I can tell you that we have not seen this before, and I called Curt who also said it's something they have not had any customers reach out to them about it and have never come across this issue. That is a bracket for a harness which looks to be sticking out more than it should, possibly causing interference. Curt told me the best thing to try and do was use...

  • How To Carry 4 Bikes on a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24956 for your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV does indeed have a 200 lb max tongue weight rating however, the hitch is almost always rated for more weight than the vehicle can handle. In addition to weight capacity, the maximum number of bikes that can be loaded on a Class I hitch is 2 and since they only make a Class I hitch for your vehicle, you will be limited to 2 bikes. The reason for the 2 bike maximum has more to do with leverage than...

  • Weight of EcoHitch & Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For 2020 Chevy Bolt EV
  • The installed weight of the Draw-Tite is 25 lbs, while the EcoHitch weight is 32 lbs. Both of these hitches do fit your 2020 Chevy Bolt EV, but between the two the best option is the EcoHitch, which is the following part number: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 The reason the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 is the best for your Bolt EV is because it has a 2" receiver, compared to the 1-1/4" receiver of the Draw-Tite # 24956; the Draw-Tite is also a Class I hitch. Additionally,...

  • Class I Hitch Compatibility with Bike Racks
  • 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...

  • Can Rear Hatch Of 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV Be Opened W/O Tilting Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack?
  • It is unlikely that the hatch on your 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV will be able to open with the Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum # TH9042PRO installed in the Draw-Tite # 24956 without tilting or removing the bike rack. This will be the same for any of the trailer hitch receivers for your vehicle.

  • Which Hitch For 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Can Carry the Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Cargo Carrier
  • I have a solution for you, but the Yakima Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR will not fit in a Class I hitch like the Draw-Tite # 24956 because it is made for only class III or class IV hitches. Instead, I recommend using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7359, which has a 2" receiver that can carry the Yakima Exo carrier you're looking at. I've linked some reviews and installation videos of these parts for you to check out as well.

  • There is indeed a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, with the best option being one from EcoHitch: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 This is the best option because it is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver, which allows you to carry any class of bike rack or cargo carrier; the other hitches that fit a '22 Bolt EV are 1-1/4 inch, Class I hitches, and those limit you to a Class I-compatible accessory.
