ONE OF THE FIRST OWNERS IN THE COUNTRY - 2022 CHEVY BOLT EUV - REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an early look at the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV 1LT, highlighting its value proposition as a more affordable entry into electric vehicle ownership. Key positives include the updated aggressive front-end design with split headlights and blacked-out bowtie, the instantaneous acceleration from its 200 horsepower motor, and the modern digital interior featuring an 8-inch digital cluster and a 10.2-inch infotainment screen with standard wireless Apple CarPlay. The reviewer appreciates the practical cargo space, comparable to a Subaru Crosstrek, and the generous rear legroom. However, the 1LT trim lacks premium features like heated seats, leather upholstery, a sunroof, and advanced safety systems found in higher trims. The reviewer also expresses dissatisfaction with the 17-inch silver-painted wheels, considering them plain. A significant drawback discussed is the slow charging time on a standard 120V outlet (two days for a full charge), emphasizing the need for a Level 2 charger. While acknowledging the compact cabin size compared to larger vehicles, the reviewer concludes that the Bolt EUV offers a compelling package of modern tech and EV benefits for its price point, especially for first-time EV buyers.
