Where do you put the jack on a Chevy Bolt?

Locating the Jack Points on a Chevy Bolt
The Chevy Bolt does not have marked jacking points on its underside, which can make it challenging to locate the appropriate points for lifting the vehicle. However, there are some suggestions and methods that can be used to identify the jacking points:
1. Consult the Service Manual: It is recommended to consult the Chevy dealer’s service department and obtain a copy of the Bolt EV Service Manual (Document 4538698). This manual provides detailed information about the underside of the Bolt and the specific points for lifting and jacking the vehicle.
2. Use a Regular Floor Jack: Some users have suggested using a regular floor jack with a pad under location #3 for changing the front wheels. This method can be effective for lifting the vehicle safely.
3. Utilize Factory Lift Points: The Bolt has factory lift points with holes in them, which are used during the assembly process. These points can be used as jacking points, and some users have successfully used a Chevy S10 jack that fits perfectly as part of their spare tire emergency kit.
4. Consider Alternative Methods: Some users have used a hockey puck and a floor jack to lift the vehicle, while others have purchased generic scissor jacks with a broad lift face for this purpose.
It’s important to exercise caution and ensure that the vehicle is lifted safely and securely when using any of these methods.
For more specific guidance, it’s advisable to consult the Chevy dealer’s service department or refer to the Bolt EV Service Manual for accurate information on locating the jacking points on a Chevy Bolt.
