Every so often, a new revelation is announced in the car industry and changes it forever. Chevy recently revealed two additions to their electric car lineup that will surely have a lasting impact on the industry. Chevy EVs are affordable and practical for busy drivers. This used to only include the Chevy Bolt EV, but that lineup has been enhanced with the redesigned 2022 Chevy Bolt EV and the all-new 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV. These two Chevy vehicles promise big advances in the electric car world.
There’s so much to discuss with these two electric vehicles, so we’ll start with the most important things. What’s the difference between the two? What are the charging and performance capabilities? What kind of features and technology are included? If you want a new EV, then Chevy has something for you.
Comparing the Bolt EV vs Bolt EUV
At first glance, these two cars look almost identical. Both of them were designed to mirror the overall bold and sporty design of the other Chevy SUVs. They both have premium interiors, lead with top technology, and seat five passengers comfortably. However, each vehicle has its own unique features. For starters, the Bolt EUV is about six inches longer than the Bolt EV. This additional space allows for more rear legroom in the Bolt EUV.
You also have the opportunity for more features in the Bolt EUV, like heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof. Because of this, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV starts at an MSRP of $33,995, while the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV has an MSRP of $31,995. However, the most obvious difference between the new Bolt EV and Bolt EUV is Super Cruise – this automated driving system will change how we drive forever.
Bolt EUV Super Cruise
Super Cruise is an exciting feature on the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV because it’s the first real hands-free driver’s assistant technology for enabled roads. So what exactly does it do? The Bolt EUV is equipped with advanced technology that will take the wheel and drive for you on designated roads. This is something you could actually use on a daily basis as there are over 200,000 miles of enabled roads for this technology. Whether you’re commuting to the office or headed on the ultimate road trip, you can use the Super Cruise hands-free driving. Technology like LiDAR mapping makes it possible for the Bolt EUV to navigate the roads without driver input.
The big question with the Super Cruise technology is regarding its safety. Super Cruise is also equipped with a Driver Attention System that uses a small camera to determine if the driver is paying attention to the road in front of them. If it senses the driver is looking away too long, there will be visible and audible alerts for the driver to take the wheel back. Just like other Chevy vehicles, the Bolt EUV also has Chevy Safety Assist standard, which uses a variety of automatic braking and alerts to act as a second layer of safety to your safe driving. You can be confident that the 2022 Bolt EUV has layers of protection to ensure the technology works properly and safely.
Bolt EV Redesign
The Chevy Bolt EUV isn’t the only electric vehicle with exciting features. While the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV isn’t brand new, it did get a redesign. The Bolt EV’s exterior now looks more like an SUV and has an edgy, sporty vibe. It received plenty of updates like new rear and front lighting signatures. On the inside, the 2022 Bolt EV has updated instrument panels and a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system. You can access real-time vehicle information as well as your audio entertainment and other features offered on the Chevy infotainment system. When you interact with the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, it will feel like any other Chevy vehicle and give you some extra premium touches you may not expect, like driver display screens, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto.
Just like the 2022 Bolt EUV, the 2022 Bolt EV also features Chevy Safety Assist as standard. You have access to Chevy’s advanced safety features including, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator, IntelliBeam auto high beam, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian Braking. All of these safety features work seamlessly with Chevy’s electric vehicles. The goal with the Bolt EV redesign was to make it even more practical, flexible, and comfortable for the everyday car owner. Its updated design and extra features make it even easier to make the switch to driving an EV.
Charging And Performance
A big part of adopting an electric car lifestyle is understanding the charging procedure and the vehicle’s performance. The good news is Chevy has gone to great lengths to make it easy and simple for you to charge your Bolt EV or Bolt EUV at home or on the go. You can now charge at home from any standard 120-volt 3-prong outlet. However, Chevy also plans to cover the installation costs of a 240-volt Level 2 charger for eligible customers who take home the new Bolt EV or Bolt EUV. This will allow you to recharge your Chevy EV far faster at no additional cost.
For on-the-go charging, you can easily find one of the 80,000 charging public charging stations on your myChevrolet app. Chevy is constantly adding public charging stations as their goal is to put more people in electric vehicles. Bottom line, you don’t have to change your way of life just to drive an EV.
Once it’s charged up, how far does it go? The 2022 Chevy Bolt EV has an estimated range of 259 miles, while the 2022 Bolt EUV is expected to have a range of 250 miles. There are energy-saving features built into the Bolt EV and EUV as well. Regen on Demand uses the electric motor to recover energy while slowing down the vehicle. This also enables one-pedal driving, allowing you to slow down or stop by lifting off the accelerator pedal. Using all the energy possible will help you spend more time on the road and less time charging.
Join the Electric Revolution
To say there is a lot to love about the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV is an understatement. The key with electric vehicles is to design them in a way that makes it a seamless transition from a gasoline car. Chevy succeeded in producing two electric vehicles that have the size, technology, and safety that drivers demand. Of course, all of the practical charging and performance components make it easy as well.
The most exciting feature is the 2022 Bolt EUV’s Super Cruise, which will bring more convenience and technology to the industry.
