YouTuber finally brought home his Bugatti Bolide and revealed how often it needs to be charged

This YouTuber took delivery of his Bugatti Bolide and was able to take it for its first drive.

By ‘drive’ we mean he sat behind the wheel while the car was pushed into his garage.

It’s the second Bolide ever bought in the US, and will predominantly live parked amongst his supercars.

The hypercar was designed to only be used on the track and has a very specific charging schedule.

The delivery of the Bugatti Bolide

YouTuber Manny Khoshbin is a real estate mogul and supercar collector who recently took delivery of the second Bugatti Bolide in America.

The first one arrived in December 2024 and has already been spotted at the Circuit of the Americas.

The $4 million hypercar was delivered to his home alongside several huge Bugatti-branded boxes.

Four contained the car’s tires while the others held the car’s charger, car cover and owner’s manual.

He was repeatedly encouraged to read the manual by the dealership representatives, namely due to the sensitive nature of this car.

As soon as it was off-loaded, they changed the delivery wheels to Michelin slicks.

“You can’t roll around with those unless you’re on a circuit,” the dealership rep said.

“They’re so sticky and they pick up so much so they’re prone to punctures.”

Next, it was time to park the Bolide in Khoshbin’s garage, however, this was far from straightforward.

Because the car has no fans to cool the engine, it will overheat within two minutes of being turned on when not being used for racing.

So Khoshbin’s first ‘drive’ involved him steering as a team of men pushed it carefully indoors.

He’ll only be able to drive it on the track, but luckily he’s got the money to rent out an entire race course to test out his new purchase.

The car also only takes 102 unleaded and has to be filled up with a race canister, not a regular gas pump.

Just how often does this hypercar need to be charged?

The Bugatti Bolide is not like a regular EV that needs to be charged regularly at home or at a Supercharger.

The battery is just for powering the car’s electrical functions, while the car itself is powered by the awe-inspiring W16 engine which has to be heard to be believed.

Because it’s a track-only car, it only needs to be charged when preparing for a racing session.

Khoshbin was advised to check on the battery once every three to four weeks.

While everything about this car is ultra sleek and impeccably designed, the charger cable is surprisingly simple: just a long and somewhat clumsy cord.

“All of that technology and the charger still hangs out the door looking nasty,” one commenter said.

The plug is just next to the driver’s seat, one for the trickle charger and another to charge the car’s computer.

Khoshbin was also warned to not let the self-opening dihedral doors slam shut on the cable as it won’t be able to withstand the damage.

“The car that makes an Aston Martin Valkyrie look like a practical daily driver,” one commenter said.

“That is a perfect example of a garage queen! That car is never leaving that garage,” another commenter said.
