Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bolt EV


  • 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,...

  • 4-Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness Options For a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • As no manufacturer has a wiring kit that has been identified to work with your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt, the only product I would recommend for you is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This product uses sensors to detect when power travels through the wiring in the harness on your Bolt. The wiring in current vehicles is much more delicate and the computers can interpret additional voltage draw as a fault and cause the vehicle to not operate properly so I do not recommend...

  • Correct Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV

  • Best Hitch to Use with a Thule Helium Pro on a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I have a great hitch for you! It's the Draw-Tite Class I, part # 24956. This has a 1-1/4" receiver with a maximum towing capacity of 2000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. I've linked to a video installation of this hitch, and you will see in the video that it has a hitch pin hole recessed far enough to accommodate the Helium Pro. The Helium Pro, part # TH9042PRO, fits a 1-1/4" receiver like the Draw-Tite by design. The piece used to adapt it to 2" receivers is a separate...

  • 2017 Chevy Bolt Roof Recommendation for Bare Roof
  • For your 2017 Chevy Bolt you'll need to switch over to the Yakima roof rack system as Thule doesn't have a fit kit for your vehicle. I really like the Yakima JetStream crossbars since they have the aero-style design and a rubber strip in the top channel that you don't have to trim to install track-mount accessories. For your application you'll need the following parts: 50" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425 BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR BaseClips - # Y06123 and # Y06181 Lock Core Kit - # Y07204...

  • 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. The # TH9042PRO does tilt but requires the bikes to be removed from the rack, and does allow most rear hatches to open though we have not had a chance to try...

  • Can 2023 Chevy Bolt EV Draw-Tite Hitch Be Used for a Bike Rack
  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Chevy Bolt and Thule EasyFold Bike Rack
  • Yes, you can use either Draw-Tite hitch # 24956 or Curt trailer hitch # C11457 with the Thule EasyFold bike rack, # TH903202, on your 2017 Chevy Bolt. If it were me I would go with the Draw-Tite hitch # 24956 for 2 reasons. First, Draw-Tite does not require the use of a stabilization strap for non-trailer loads like Curt does. If you went with the Curt hitch you would also need to use stabilization strap # 18050. And second customers have reported that the receiver on the Curt hitch hangs...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • The only trailer hitch we currently have confirmation of fit for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11457 which I confirmed by reaching out to Curt directly. The Curt Trailer Hitch is an excellent option for the Chevrolet Bolt EV as it offers a bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. It has a hidden design so only the receiver tube is shown which makes for a very clear install look as you can see in the attached photo. The Curt Trailer Hitch is...

  • Thule Roof Rack for a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV with Naked Roof
  • 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.

  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 provides a 2" receiver and is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV. With a 2" receiver, you have a wider selection of bike carriers for your fendered ebike.
