The Chevrolet Bolt EUV (short for "electric utility vehicle") is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet marque. It was revealed on February 14, 2021.[3] It is a larger version of the similarly named Chevrolet Bolt EV, with which it shares its BEV2 platform and powertrain.[4][5][6]

History

Rear view

The Bolt EUV was introduced in February 2021,[7] and released to the Mexican market on August 17, 2021.[8] As the first EUVs were arriving at dealerships in August 2021, all vehicles were recalled to replace the traction battery;[9] Bolt EV and EUV production was paused from November 2021 to April 2022, and fewer than 400 Bolts (both EV and EUV) were delivered before April.[10]

It is the first Chevrolet vehicle to receive the hands-free Super Cruise driver-assistance package.[11][12]

Unlike early versions of the Bolt EV, the battery for the Bolt EUV is manufactured in the United States at LG plants in Michigan.[13]

Pricing and trims

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has 3 trim levels, beginning with LT, which starts at $33,000. The next pricing rung is Premier, which sits at $37,500. Last there is the Launch Edition at $42,500.[14] For the 2023 model year a Redline Edition was introduced.

Specifications

Range and efficiency

Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) five-cycle test methodology, the Bolt EV fuel economy is rated at:

The Bolt EUV's EPA-rated range for:

  • combined driving is 247 miles (398 km)
  • city driving is 267 miles (430 km)
  • highway driving is 223 miles (359 km)[16]

Charging

The Bolt EUV can charge through the SAE J1772 connector using electric vehicle supply equipment connected to an AC power supply. A portable AC EVSE (made by Webasto) is included that can operate at Level 1 (8 or 12-amps) using the NEMA 5-15 dongle and Level 2 (32 amps) using the NEMA 14-50 dongle.[17] Using a Level 1 AC power supply of 120 V at 8-Amps, it can add 2.8 mi (4.5 km) per hour. At 12-Amps, the maximum for a typical household socket, it adds 4 mi (6.4 km) of charge per hour.[2] That's approximately 88 and 62 hours for a full charge, respectively. If a Level 2 supply is used instead, supplying 240 V at 32-amps (7.7 kW), that adds 25 mi (40 km) per hour. It takes approximately 10 hours for a full charge. The maximum Level 2 rate is 240 V and 48-amps (11.5 kW); the car recharges at 37 mi (60 km) per hour with 7 hours for a full charge.[2]

The EUV is equipped with DC fast charging as standard, using a CCS Combo 1 plug with a maximum rate of 55 kW. At this rate, the range replenishes at 95 mi (153 km) every 30 minutes.[2][17]

Dimensions

Compared to the Bolt EV, the EUV has a wheelbase that is 2.9 in (74 mm) longer and is 6.3 in (160 mm) longer overall at 169.5 in (4,310 mm), which was used mainly to expand rear-seat legroom.[17] The EPA interior volumes are 96.5 and 16.3 cu ft (2,733 and 462 L) for passenger and cargo space, respectively, which is slightly more, combined, than the Bolt EV.[2] Although the cargo volume of the EUV is slightly smaller than the EV,[2] this is due to the methodology of SAE J1100, the recommended practice used to compute volume;[18] manufacturer testing demonstrated the EUV can hold more cargo.[19]

The turning circle of the Bolt EUV is 38.3 ft (11.7 m), measured wall-to-wall.[2]

Interior

The Super Cruise advanced driver-assistance system and a panoramic sunroof are available exclusively for the Bolt EUV; the Bolt EV lacks both options.[20] Front headroom is slightly reduced with the sunroof.[2]

Discontinuation

On April 25, 2023 GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed that the Bolt and Bolt EUV would be discontinued at the end of 2023 to make room for GM's "new generation of electric vehicles."[21]

"One dimension that had me curious was how the listed cargo volume of Bolt EUV was slightly less than that of the Bolt EV - it just didn't make sense. So I asked GM's Vehicle Chief Engineer of Battery Electric Vehicles, Jeremy Short, as he was one of our media-drive escorts.
     I could see Short's eyes roll back when I asked him how the EUV could have less cargo space than the smaller EV and he quickly answered: "it doesn't". He explained that the way the SAE requires manufacturers to measure the rear cargo space is to measure the height of that area directly above the rear axle.
     The Bolt EUV has a long wheelbase (2.9" longer than the Bolt EV) so the rear wheels are pushed back as far as they can be. Additionally, the rear hatch of the Bolt EUV slopes down at a greater angle than the Bolt EV does, so the roof point that is directly above the rear axle on the EUV, is not as high as the point above the axle on the EV.
     That made the official cargo volume calculation slightly less for EUV. However, Short explained that you can actually fit a good deal more cargo in the EUV, as they have tested it in many ways."
