2022 CHEVROLET BOLT EUV – DM REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is presented as a surprisingly pleasant and approachable electric vehicle, particularly for those new to EVs or seeking a practical second car. Reviewers found its interior spacious, airy, and equipped with nice materials, especially in the Premier trim, featuring a large screen with wireless CarPlay and comfortable heated/cooled seats. The one-pedal driving and progressive regenerative braking were highlighted as user-friendly. However, the vehicle is not without significant drawbacks. A major point of contention is its slow 50kW DC fast charging capability, making road trips impractical and significantly longer than comparable EVs. Additionally, a concerning durability issue arose with weather stripping detaching from the car while driving. Despite these flaws, the Bolt EUV is praised for its engaging driving dynamics, including enjoyable torque steer and a responsive throttle, making it a more appealing option than the Nissan Leaf for many. The reviewer's verdict leans positive for city driving and as a daily commuter, but strongly advises against it for long-distance travel due to charging limitations.
