I haven't even seen a Bolt in person, so I'm only relaying other things I've read.
One thing I heard mentioned is that the Bolt uses resistance heating instead of a heat pump. If so, that is disappointing.
The AC is a heat pump, so reversing it to provide heat should be a fairly straightforward task. Nissan figured it out for the Leaf 4 years ago.

I have never liked the "auto " climate setting on any car I've ridden in, manual seems the way to go.
The only time a "heatpump" is in a usable temperature range here in mid Wisconsin is during November and March, all other months are too hot or too cold for it to operate (aka above 40 or below 15)
Heat pumps are less efficient than AC in cooling and I op below 15f
That said I have no use for resistance heating, rather have a diesel heater.
