- Comments Off on New Bolt EUV & Re-Designed Bolt EV Revealed
The all-new 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV recently made its debut alongside the re-designed 2022 Bolt EV – both of which are part of GM’s goal to launch 30 new EVs globally by 2025.
“We want to put everyone in an EV and the new Bolt EUV and redesigned Bolt EV are crucial to doing so,” said GM President Mark Reuss, in a press release. “Together, they enable mainstream customers to be part of our vison of zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion.”
To do so, they have lowered the base price of the Bolt EV by more than $5,000 from the 2021 model and have simplified the charging process. The 2022 Chevy Bolt EV 1LT starting MSRP is $31,995.
A new Dual Level Charge Cord will, for some customers, eliminate the need to purchase a separate charger for their home. It has a changeable plug that allows the customer to plug into a standard 120-volt three-prong outlet for Level 1 charging and a 240-volt outlet for Level 2 charging up to 7.2 kilowatts.
Plus, Chevy will cover the cost of standard installation of Level 2 charging capability for eligible customers who purchase or lease a 2022 Bolt EUV or Bolt EV.
An advanced 65 kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery pack helps the Bolt EV deliver up to a GM-estimated 259 miles of range on a full charge. For the slightly larger Bolt EUV, the GM-estimated range on a full charge is 250 miles.
On the myChevrolet app, owners have location access to more than 80,000 chargers in North America so they can manage their routes more efficiently, locate available charging stations along their route, receive real-time alerts about range and easily pay for public charging through the click-to-charge feature.
The EUV is the first Chevy-branded vehicle to come equipped with GM’s Super Cruise driver-assistance system. Super Cruise allows for hands-free driving on pre-mapped highways, and it monitors your attention with a camera to ensure your eyes stay on the road.
“The new Bolt EUV is the best of the Bolt EV packaged in an SUV-like vehicle with more technology and features, giving customers more choices and reasons to switch to electric,” said Steve Hill, vice president of Chevrolet, in a press release.
The two vehicles share an architecture, but their designs are unique. No exterior sheet metal parts are shared between the two vehicles and the EUV is approximately 6 inches longer. The starting MSRP of the Bolt EUV LT trim is $33,995.
The Bolt EUV has three inches of additional leg room as well as available heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear outboard seats, along with a panoramic power sunroof.
Additional propulsion system highlights include:
- Single-motor drive unit that delivers 200 horsepower (150 kw) and 266 lb-ft of near-instant torque
- Regen on Demand that allows the driver to convert kinetic energy stored within the battery for future use by simply pulling on a steering wheel-mounted paddle.
- One Pedal Driving lets the driver speed up, slow down and even come to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal.
Both vehicles feature new instrument panels, vehicle controls and seats, and a 10.2-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen.
