Default Bolt's regenerative braking is so, good you barely need the brakes



Obviously, RB isn't going to help in a panic stop. But our HP reviewer found a little planning meant he barely needed to use the brakes at all. Since the only electric car I've ever driven in a golf cart, I find that a little weird. But if you're thinking of a Bolt, you should definitely check out the review on the HP.

if you drive smartly, you'll barely even need your brakes at all...
I was taught that when I was a child
by my dad & grampa

I like the Bolt, but the exterior styling...? meh.

I used to ride a fixed-gear around Seattle, and did it without brakes for a few years. So I get what you're saying... I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to panic stop in the last year.
