Can a ticket be thrown out if the car is not correct?
I was pulled over for speeding in my Chevy Bolt EV, and the Officer didn’t ask for my registration, just my license. He wrote me a speeding ticket but in a Chevy Aveo A car I’ve never driven before and I was just wondering if I could fight the ticket on those grounds, regardless of the validity of the speed?

I'm afraid that for a minor clerical error such as this, your ticket will not be thrown out. Rather, the judge can order that it be corrected. The fact s that these mistakes happen all the time and cases are not dismissed due such technicalities. Bottom line, you were speeding.
