This is a cumulative achievement. As long as you break as many crates, destroy enough enemies, and run over any weeds poking out of the ground, you shouldn't have any trouble getting this early on. This is only a low level version of the other trophies associated with gathering bolts:
Personally, I got this partially through the Great Clock, Sector Two. The time puzzles give a decent prize for solving them, and adding that with clearing all boxes and almost all enemies I came across, and that should give you a decent estimate as to when to expect it.
