So far, there were a lot of rumors about the timing chosen by GM and Chevrolet to launch the upcoming Bolt EV, with few details on specs.

However, some technical details have been travelling around the internet but the EV's visual features are nowhere to be seen.

Sure, we have pictures with the Bolt prototype unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in January, but we all know that the concept's looks have zero chances of being 100 percent implemented on the production model.

As usual, designers are the ones who can shed some light on appearance-related matters, and it goes the same for the Bolt, thanks to a rendering designed by Shoeb Kalania and posted on Steering News.

Even if this is Pixel Land we're talking about here, you can instantly spot the fact that the car received a redesigned front bumper and grille, slightly bigger headlamps, larger outside rear view mirrors and different LED taillights. That's about it, so let's take a trip down memory lane and see what we know so far about the upcoming Chevy Bolt.

For starters, last time we heard about the EV, two analysts monitoring GM's production plans and launch schedule claimed the 2017 Bolt will enter production in October 2016, at the General Motors Orion Assembly plant.

The reason invoked was that Chevy wants to become the first mainstream carmaker with a long-range electric vehicle on the market.

When the Chevrolet Bolt finally hits the market, those interested in having one will have to pay around $30,000 for one, with incentives and tax breaks. Are you ready for more speculation?

For this kind of money, the Bolt will offer a maximum electric range anywhere around 200 miles (321 km) on a single charge, which is double the range provided by one of its possible competitors, the 2016 Nissan Leaf.
