"The Chevrolet Bolt EV is a great little commuter. With used models starting from just under $10,000, it's one of the best deals out there. You get over 200 miles of range and a decently sized car that can go from A to B without breaking the bank. It also has 200 horsepower, which is decent for a daily driver, but it's not exactly race car material."
"According to the EVTuners video embedded above, the American city EV got a custom-made roll cage, a pair of racing seats, a fire extinguishing system and a data logging device that uses a Raspberry Pi to do all the heavy lifting. A weight loss program was also put into place, with a lot of the original interior being ripped out in the name of weight savings."
The Chevrolet Bolt EV serves as an affordable commuter with over 200 miles of range and roughly 200 horsepower, offering strong value at used prices under $10,000. A group converted a 2018 Bolt into a weekend track car for 24 Hours of Lemons-style racing, prioritizing safety and weight reduction. Modifications include a custom roll cage, racing seats, a fire extinguishing system, a Raspberry Pi-based data logger and extensive interior removal. The Bolt's 60-kWh battery limits continuous track running, requiring lengthy off-track charging intervals during endurance events. The project demonstrates that low-cost electric cars can be adapted for amateur motorsport despite range and power limits.
