I put a trailer hitch with a 2" receiver on our Chevy Bolt EV, and the wiring harness was designed for a Volt; and it works for taillights and brake lights. I also got a 5'x8' mesh trailer from Lowes (they had it on sale for $730).

Altogether, it is good for 1 ton gross (1,650 load), with a maximum 200 pound tongue weight. I have used it twice (to carry our chicken coop, and then the chicken run) and I need to see it it fits my PEBL. It will be close. Unfortunately, the tailgate ramp is not removable.

The Bolt is an excellent tow vehicle. Smooth controllable torque, and a relatively short wheelbase means that it is easy to drive, and easier than most to back up.
