The best roof rack for your 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV is going to be the Roof Rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA118B-2

RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 item # RRRCL4

Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points item # RR32SV

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. Since you do not have any rails on your roof it will attach inside your door jams without drilling. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have attached a picture that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Bolt EV.
