Also offered are adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, a surround-view camera system, and GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system. The Bolt comes with the right standard safety features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, active lane control, and automatic high beams. While that will add 100 miles in 30 minutes, it’s much slower than most newer EVs. However, on a DC fast charger, it maxes out at 50-55 kw. An 11-kw onboard charger allows the Bolt to charge to full in about seven hours on a 240-volt home outlet. It does ride smoothly, though.Ĭhevy offers driving modes that allow for coasting or one-pedal driving almost down to a stop. The motor makes it fairly quick, too, with a 0-60 mph time below seven seconds, but the Bolt isn’t tuned for sporty handling as it feels heavy and its low-rolling resistance tires aren’t the best for traction. The Bolt is efficient, even for an EV, delivering in excess of at least 3.5 miles/kwh. It’s powered by a 65-kwh battery pack that delivers 259 miles of range in the Bolt EV and 247 miles in the Bolt EUV. Heated seats come standard, with cooling available, but the front seats lack the padding and bolstering for best comfort and support.Ĭhevrolet outfits the Bolt with a single motor up front that makes 200 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. Both also come with a 10.2-inch touchscreen for infotainment and an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster. Both offer good space for four passengers, with about 57 cubic feet for cargo. The larger footprint gives the Bolt EUV more rear seat room, but not more cargo space. With a taller ride height, the EUV can be interpreted as a crossover, but no Bolt offers all-wheel drive. Both have a six-sided, blocked off front “grille,” a floating roofline, and a tall and narrow egg-like shape, but they don’t share any sheet metal. The Bolt EV and Bolt EUV are virtual twins, though the latter looks like a puffed up version of the former. Model choices include 1LT and 2LT for the Bolt EV and LT and Premier for the Bolt EUV. It also gets a Redline edition and a new red exterior color. After a 2022 refresh and the addition of the larger Bolt EUV, the Bolt mostly stands pat for 2023 except for a substantial price drop between $5,900 and $6,300.
