Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bolt EV


  • Snow Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 215/50-17
  • For the tire size of 215/50-17 that you have on your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV the best low clearance chain option we have is the Konig K-Summit set part # TH02230K33. The reason these are the best option is because the chains do not go over the inner shoulder of the tire at all which is the area that would cause interference issues if there was going to be one. We have to recommend you stick with the recommendation of your vehicle manufacturer but sometimes you can show them options like this...

  • How to Carry 4 Montague Paratrooper Bikes on a 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • 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...

  • Recommended Hitch With 2 Inch Receiver for 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • For a hitch with a 2" receiver for your 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359. This has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs. Make sure to check your owner's manual to verify your towing capacity. As long as your bikes and bike rack do not exceed the max tongue weight this hitch will work well for you. It also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible from the back. I...

  • Would SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Have Enough Capacity For Carrying Plywood
  • I attached a link to our returns policy to this page but the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B easily will work with the wood you need to transport. It has a weight capacity of 150 lbs and 210 lbs of vacuum strength per cut so it's not going anywhere. The speed you mentioned travelling would not be an issue either. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV with Flush Mounted Rails
  • 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.

  • Availability Of 4-way Wiring Harness For 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit trailer wiring harness for your 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV at this time. With that said that does not mean you cannot install one. I recommend using the 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # C59496 as it comes with a circuit tester to find the correct wires on your factory harness to connect to, and since it draws power directly from the battery of your Bolt EV to protect the factory wiring from damage.

  • Trailer Hitch Option for a 2017 Chevy Bolt
  • 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...

  • Bike Rack for 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • 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.

  • Low Clearance Snow Chain Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Bolt EV
  • 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...

  • Can Reese 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack Carry 1 Mens Mountain Bike and 1 Trek Road Bike
  • The Thule Camber 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Rack # TH9058 referenced in your question is designed to carry 2 bikes and would work with your 2 bikes. You will load the first bike on the cradle closest to the vehicle. You will then load the second bike onto the cradle so that the handle bars face in the opposite direction from the first bike. This is to provide the necessary clearance for the handlebars so they do not come into contact with each other.

  • Can SportRack Hitch Bike Racks # SR2703 Be Used in Class I Trailer Hitch
  • 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.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2018 Chevy Bolt EV
  • Starting with the hitch for your 2018 Chevy Bolt EV I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 because it has the highest weight capacity and is the only hitch available for your Bolt EV that features a 2 inch receiver. The 2 inch opening is compatible with many more hitch-mounted accessories than the smaller 1-1/4 inch receivers. In addition to its strength and versatility the EcoHitch also features a sleek hidden design where only the 2 inch receiver will be...

  • 2,000 Watt Inverter to Use with Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series Mini RV Converter
  • Best option for a 2,000 watt inverter that's priced decent is the Go Power inverter part # 34278156 which is for 12 volt setups and has low power safety features built in but they are not programmable. We don't have any programmable options. This would work great with the part # PD4045KA.

  • Best and Safest Way to Transport 2018 Chevy Bolt EV behind RV
  • 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.
