USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

The Chevrolet Bolt EV was one of the first genuinely affordable long-range electric cars, and the US market absorbed the vast majority of them.

Model profile
The Bolt EV arrived as a 2017 model, developed with LG and assembled at GM's Orion Assembly plant in Michigan. It stayed a single generation through 2023, but it changed meaningfully over that run. The 2017–2019 cars carried a 60 kWh battery rated at 238 miles EPA. For 2020 GM lifted usable capacity to roughly 66 kWh and the rating to 259 miles.
Powertrain and equipment
Every Bolt EV uses a single front-mounted permanent-magnet motor producing 200 hp (150 kW) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm), driving the front wheels through a single-speed reduction gear. There is no all-wheel-drive version and no multi-motor option.
The Bolt EV is a five-door front-wheel-drive hatchback, offered in LT and Premier trims. Premier adds leather, a surround-view camera, blind-spot monitoring and heated rear seats.
Vehicle selection
Supply is the Bolt's strongest argument. Fleet and lease returns mean plenty of low-to-medium-mileage cars, typically 2017–2022 examples with 30,000 to 90,000 miles.
A used Bolt EV import makes sense for a buyer who wants a real electric car for daily driving, school runs and regional trips, values low running costs, and does not need frequent 300-km motorway stints at fast-charge speed.

Pre-purchase review
For the Chevrolet Bolt EV, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on battery condition, charging interface, warning messages, software status and accessible high-voltage and cooling-system components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US Bolts use CCS1 charging, miles-based instrumentation, amber-only rear turn signals in some cases, and no rear fog lamp — all of which matter for European registration.
Typical work includes fitting or coding a rear fog lamp, adapting the lighting to European requirements, converting the instrument display where required, and confirming the odometer and documentation.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes, if you want an affordable long-range commuter EV; US supply is deep and prices reflect a market with many lease returns.
Yes, with a CCS1-to-CCS2 adapter or a suitable wallbox; the US car ships with a CCS1 port.
No — a car with a documented replacement pack is often the better buy. Insist on the records.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
238 miles EPA on 2017–2019 cars and 259 miles on 2020 and later, with real-world figures lower in cold weather.
Mechanically very simple and dependable once the battery question is resolved; watch the 12-volt battery and infotainment.
Yes. As an independent broker we source the car and coordinate escrow, freight, customs, TÜV and registration.
