Chevrolet has officially unveiled two new electric vehicles for the 2022 model year: the all-new Bolt EUV (Electric Utility Vehicle) crossover and the refreshed Bolt EV hatchback. These introductions mark Chevrolet’s latest efforts to expand its electric vehicle lineup and make electric mobility more accessible to a broader audience. Both vehicles offer updated styling, advanced technology, and an emphasis on comfort and convenience, catering to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the mainstream market.
2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV: Expanding the Electric Family
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is an all-new addition to the Bolt family, designed to appeal to consumers looking for the practicality of a crossover with the benefits of electric power. The Bolt EUV offers a slightly larger and more spacious alternative to the Bolt EV, making it an attractive option for families and those who prioritize interior space.
With an estimated range of 247 miles on a full charge, the Bolt EUV provides ample driving distance for most daily commutes and longer trips. The vehicle is powered by a 65 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and its electric motor delivers 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, ensuring a responsive and smooth driving experience.
One of the most significant features of the Bolt EUV is the availability of Chevrolet’s Super Cruise, a hands-free driver assistance system that allows for hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles of compatible highways in the U.S. and Canada. This marks the first time Super Cruise is available on a Chevrolet vehicle, making the Bolt EUV a pioneer in the brand’s adoption of advanced driver assistance technologies.
2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV: A Fresh Update
The 2022 Bolt EV hatchback has received a significant refresh, both inside and out, to keep it competitive in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market. The updated Bolt EV features a sleeker exterior design, with a more modern front fascia, new lighting elements, and a range of new color options.
Inside, the Bolt EV’s cabin has been upgraded with higher-quality materials, a redesigned dashboard, and a new 10.2-inch infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The vehicle also offers more comfortable seating and increased rear legroom, making it more practical for everyday use.
Like the Bolt EUV, the 2022 Bolt EV is equipped with a 65 kWh battery pack, providing an estimated range of 259 miles on a full charge. This range, combined with the hatchback’s compact size and nimble handling, makes the Bolt EV an ideal choice for urban drivers who need a practical and efficient vehicle for city driving.
Affordability and Accessibility
Chevrolet has positioned both the Bolt EUV and the updated Bolt EV as affordable electric vehicles, with starting prices designed to attract a wide range of buyers. The 2022 Bolt EV starts at $31,995, while the Bolt EUV starts at $33,995—both of which are lower than previous model years. Additionally, Chevrolet is offering incentives and flexible financing options to make it easier for consumers to make the switch to electric.
Chevrolet is also providing customers with options to simplify home charging. Buyers of either the Bolt EUV or Bolt EV will have access to a dual-level charge cord that supports both Level 1 and Level 2 charging. For those who prefer a dedicated home charging station, Chevrolet has partnered with Qmerit to offer home installation services, making it more convenient for customers to set up their own charging infrastructure.
Conclusion
The introduction of the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV and the refreshed Bolt EV demonstrates Chevrolet’s commitment to expanding its electric vehicle offerings and making electric mobility more accessible to mainstream consumers. With their blend of range, technology, and affordability, both vehicles are well-positioned to appeal to a wide audience, from urban drivers to families seeking a versatile crossover. As the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, the Bolt EUV and Bolt EV will play a crucial role in Chevrolet’s strategy to lead the way in the electrification of transportation.
