2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV Review Pricing and Specs The 2022 Chevy Bolt EV not only looks more exciting inside and out, the redesigned electric hatchback also has enhanced features and a much cheaper asking price. While the most noticeable changes are its futuristic sheet metal and freshly refinished cabin, it still employs a front drive only powertrain that delivers near-instant acceleration. Chevy estimates the 2022 Bolt EV can travel up to 259 miles on a full charge. That gives it a slight advantage over the excellent Hyundai Kona Electric, but it still falls far short of the Tesla Model 3. However, the new Bolt's accessible price, roomy interior, and satisfying driving dynamics should be strong selling points. Those who want a more SUV-like model with additional back-seat space and available Super Cruise hands-free driving will be drawn to the all-new 2022 Bolt EUV. What's New for 2022? The 2022 Bolt EV undergoes a comprehensive redesign that includes updated exterior and interior styling. While its electrical and mechanical components remain the same as before, the hatchback adds a newly available dual-level charging cord as well as an increased Level 2 (240-volt) maximum charging capability. Perhaps most notably, maybe amazingly, the new and improved Bolt EV has a starting price that's $5500 lower than the previous model's which opened at $37,495. Pricing and Which One to Buy Chevy has announced that the 2022 Bolt EV's base price is significantly lower than last year, but so far it hasn't revealed pricing for individual options or higher trim levels. We expect full pricing details will be released before it goes on sale this summer, at which time we'll be able to recommend which one to buy. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Although we have not driven the 2022 Bolt EV electric car, its powertrain and chassis are identical to older models that we have piloted. Its electric motor still sends 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque exclusively to the front wheels. This setup provides instantaneous response to accelerator inputs and ample low-end torque that lets you shoot off the line when the light turns green. Responses are less immediate at highway speeds, but the new electric Chevy should still make passing and merging on the highway a cinch.

There's also a one pedal driving mode activated via a button on the center console—that increases regenerative braking to the point where you rarely need to use the brakes to slow down. Range, Charging, and Battery Life Chevy estimates the 2022 model has a driving range of 259 miles on a full charge. That matches the EPA rating for the previous model year, and it's competitive with other similarly priced EVs such as the Hyundai Kona Electric. While the Tesla Model 3 Long Range can travel up to 353 miles on one charge, it costs considerably more. For 2022, the Bolt EV is now available with a dual-level charging cord that plugs into both Level 1 (120-volt) and Level 2 (240-volt) outlets, which Chevy says will eliminate the need for many owners to buy a separate home charger. The Bolt's maximum Level 2 charging speed also increase to 11 kW, allowing the battery to fully charge in seven hours. The electrified hatchback is still available with DC fast charging that can add about 100 miles of range every 30 minutes with a Level 3 connection. 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV Battery Power Charging System Screen Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG Although the 2022 Bolt EV has the same battery pack and electric motor as the previous model year, Chevy hasn't announced its official MPGe rating, and we also haven't had the chance to test one on our 75-mph highway route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen. However, the last Bolt EV we evaluated achieved 102 MPGe in our real-world test, which translates to a highway range of 180 miles. View Inventory Get Pre-Approved Value Your Trade You can expect to see significantly better range if you stick to lower speeds around town. In fact, during an unorthodox range test in California's Death Valley, we were able to exceed the EPA's 259-mile estimated driving range in the real world.

Chevrolet Bolt EV Cargo Trunk Space Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Chevy spruces up the Bolt EV's cabin with a more upscale design that the company says includes better materials than before and more soft-touch surfaces. The steering wheel now features a flat-bottom, the driver faces a new 8.0-inch fully digital gauge cluster, and the old electronic shifter is replaced by a set of pull toggles and push buttons. There is even a section on the console that wirelessly charges your phones. Although the updated Bolt EV has the same passenger space as before, including a back seat that's roomy enough for two adults, it does have redesigned front seats that are said to be more comfortable. The hatchback's rear cargo space still measures 17 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 57 cubes with those rear seatbacks folded flat. View of navigation system inside the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV. Infotainment and Connectivity Every Bolt EV features a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with popular standard features, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A subscription based Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless smartphone charging are also available. Complementing the touch controls are physical knobs for volume and tuning as well as a shortcut button for the home screen. The Chevy's infotainment system allows over-the-air updates and includes built-in apps that are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Spotify music streaming services. Safety and Driver Assistance Features The 2022 Bolt EV boasts a roster of standard and optional driver assistance technology. Along with standard automatic high-beams and front pedestrian detection, the hatchback can be equipped with a 360-degree camera system and rear cross-traffic alert. For more information about the Bolt EV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard forward collision warning and automated emergency braking Standard lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist Available adaptive cruise control Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Chevrolet provides standard coverage limits for the Bolt's electric powertrain components. It also includes the first maintenance visit, but overall coverage doesn't come close to that of Hyundai. Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers eight years or 100,00 miles Complimentary maintenance covers one scheduled visit View Inventory Get Pre-Approved Value Your Trade
