Chevrolet's electric hatchback debuted as a concept in 2015. Developed by General Motors, the vehicle was widely considered a direct competitor to the BMW i3. The name "Bolt" evokes electrical associations, drawing inspiration from a lightning bolt. In this technical reference, we will provide a detailed overview of the fuse box diagrams for the first-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV, covering the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 model years.
Below you will find the locations and photographs of the power distribution boxes. We have specifically highlighted the fuses designated for the 12-volt accessory power receptacles (cigarette lighters).
Engine Compartment
The power distribution box is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment.
To access the fuses, release the rear and side latches and lift the cover upward.
