2022 CHEVY BOLT Q&A - IS IT WORTH BUYING?

EV Channels Review

This Q&A video addresses numerous viewer questions about the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, offering practical insights beyond the initial one-year review. The reviewer confirms the vehicle does not come with a spare tire and discusses potential range impacts in extreme climates, suggesting cooled/heated seats as a practical alternative to heavy HVAC use. Real-world range is estimated to be around 200-220 miles, necessitating charging for longer trips. The video strongly advises against using extension cords for charging due to slow speeds and safety concerns, recommending a Level 2 charger or public charging. While roof rails are functional for accessories, a tow hitch requires significant modification. The reviewer highlights the substantial price drop for 2023 models, deeming them an excellent value, though the tax credit is no longer applicable. The owner's personal purchase details, including trade-in value and monthly costs (around $300 total including electricity), are transparently shared. The Level 2 charger installation process, while taking about two weeks, is praised as a significant convenience. The reviewer confirms the absence of interior ambient lighting and expresses strong satisfaction with the Bolt EUV, stating a definitive inability to return to internal combustion engine vehicles. The EUV is preferred over the EV for its rear legroom, styling, and standard dual-level charging cable.
