This year 2022 Chevrolet has taken a step forward to expand its EV lineup by launching its all new Bolt EUV. In short, the very humble and small EV Bolt has now got a taller sibling that boasts up its butch-looks
As per the announcement we heard from Chevrolet, it has dressed up the base LT trim model and the Launch Edition trim with some extra features like a leather upholstered cabin, heated front and rear seats, an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and many more. In all this, what is common is the good value for money that each of the trims will offer its buyers. Being the first Electric Utility Vehicle, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt promises to bring a huge difference in car usage and in the process of restoring the environmental balance, by eliminating the emission of harmful gases, unlike the regular gasoline vehicles, without asking the car users to compromise in their utility demands, stated the sales team leader of the Lexington area Chevrolet dealership.
All-Electric Powertrain Performance
The Bolt series that got introduced for the year 2022 as the first EUV model from Chevrolet, does complete justice to its segment name; which is Electric Utility Vehicle. It does so by choosing an all-electric engine that raises 200 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque from its electric motor. Based on a single motor setup that goes with a front-wheel drivetrain configuration the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV appears to be a simple vehicle that aims to meet all the needs of practicality for its users by ditching the usage of costly fuel by the electric powered powertrain.
As an electric car, you do not get a gearbox to drive the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt which is not meant to drive across quarter miles and engage in a heart-racing performance on the road. So, what is the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV up to? Let’s have a look.
Mileage Range
The 2022 Bolt EUV comes with a battery pack of 65 kWh, which is the same as its regular Bolt version, which doesn’t look sufficient to drag the EUV that faster, as it does for its regular counterpart. The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV being slightly longer and heavier by 80 pounds might suffer quite a loss of range with this power pack. But as told by the sales executives from the …. Chevrolet dealer, this longer design has rather helped the Bolt to have a coefficient drag and hence the electric range loss will be very minimal and is expected to cross 247 miles, with a fully charged battery, which will be then just 12 miles lesser in range than its hatchback sibling.
Above this, to compete with the newly emerging electric vehicles, Chevrolet equips its 2022 Bolt EUV series with a fast charging feature, which we have already seen in the EV version, but in this EUV model, the peak power has been maintained at 55 kW. So, within 30 minutes of fast charging, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV can cross 95 miles of all-electric range, which is a figure quite good for a newly introduced EUV which has enormous scope to grow stronger and powerful in the coming years, assured the floor manager of the most renowned Chevrolet dealer near Lexington .
