2022 CHEVY BOLT EUV – LIVE DRIVE ARCHIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is presented as an affordable electric crossover, with the reviewed model being the top-tier Premier trim. The reviewer highlights its practical aspects, such as increased second-row space compared to the standard Bolt, and a usable range of approximately 247 miles (230 on the highway). However, the vehicle's aggressive styling is a point of contention, with the reviewer finding it overly so. A significant drawback identified is the slow DC fast charging capability, capped at 50 kW, which makes long road trips impractical, requiring around 50 minutes for a charge that would take 10-15 minutes in competitors. While the Premier trim offers a nicer interior than the base LT, the reviewer suggests the LT might be a better value proposition given the Bolt's core appeal as an affordable EV, especially as higher trims approach the price of more premium alternatives like the Kia EV6. The Super Cruise system is also discussed, with the reviewer noting a less capable version on the Bolt EUV compared to other GM vehicles, lacking automatic lane changes.
