Key numbers

What it costs to fuel

Across its configurations, the 2017 Bolt EV costs about $650 to $650 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $650. Over five years that is about $3,250 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.
