The Chevrolet Bolt EUV (short for "electric utility vehicle") is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand, presented on February 14, 2021. [3]

As a larger version of the similarly named Chevrolet Bolt EV, the EUV shares its BEV2 platform and powertrain. [4] [5] [6]

History

Rear view 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, rear 8.26.23.jpg
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 had 3 trim levels when introduced in 2022, beginning with LT, which started at $33,000. The next pricing rung was Premier at $37,500. [14] Last, there was the "special, limited-production" Launch Edition at $43,495. [15]

For the 2023 model year, only the LT and Premier trims were offered, at $28,795 and $33,295, respectively. For an additional $495, either trim level could get the Redline Edition appearance package, which was also offered on several other Chevrolet models. [16]

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:

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. [19] A Level 1 charger supplying 120V at 8 amps adds around 2.8 mi (4.5 km) of range per hour, taking about 88 hours for a full charge. The maximum Level 1 charging rate at 12 amps, the average amperage of a North American household power outlet, adds around 4 mi (6.4 km) per hour, requiring approximately 62 hours for a complete charge. A Level 2 charger supplying 240V at 32 amps adds around 25 mi (40 km) per hour, taking about 10 hours to fully charge. The maximum Level 2 charging rate of 48 amps (11.5 kW) adds 37 mi (60 km) per hour, fully charging in about 7 hours. [2]

The EUV is equipped with DC fast charging as standard, using a CCS Combo 1 plug with a maximum rate of 55 kW, and can add up to 95 mi (153 km) in the first 30 minutes. [2] [19]

Dimensions

The EUV has a wheelbase 2.9 in (74 mm) longer than the Bolt EV and is 6.3 in (160 mm) longer overall at 169.5 in (4,310 mm), increasing rear-seat legroom. [19] 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; [20] manufacturer testing demonstrated the EUV can hold more cargo. [21]

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. [22] 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." [23] On July 25, 2023, GM announced it would continue production of the Chevy Bolt and will utilize Ultium and Ultifi technologies. It gave no details as to whether multiple body styles, such as the EUV, would return. [24]

Production of the Bolt EUV concluded on December 20, 2023. [25]

An electromod is a vehicle that has been restored and modified by converting its drivetrain to operate as an electric vehicle (EV). The term is a portmanteau of electrification and restomod, itself a portmanteau of restoration and modification, a process which traditionally has been associated with classic cars. Most electromods are one-off custom vehicles performed by specialty repair shops and hobbyists, but starting in the late 2010s, automobile manufacturers have been building their own electromods, sometimes with the assistance of specialty shops, to publicize their shift to battery electric powertrains and to build interest in crate engine EV drivetrain products.

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.
