What’s New: The Bolt EUV joined Chevy’s line up in 2022, serving as the bigger
sibling to the car-based Bolt. New for this year is the red line trim and a

Why:
A full charge provides a 247-mile driving range
Requires no gasoline
A lower base price for the base model Bolt EUV, when compared to the 2022 model
Smooth and quick acceleration

Last year, the Chevy Bolt car had a starting price of approximately $32,000. During a short period when the vehicle didn’t qualify for any federal tax aid, GM made a move to lower the price, making the Bolt line up, both the car and the crossover, some of the most affordable EVs in the marketplace.
As of result of that price adjustment, the Bolt EUV, which was launched in 2022, has dropped down to under $29,000. In fact, this even before the Inflation Reduction Act kicks in.
With this being one of the most affordable subcompact crossover EVs available to purchase, GM has packed a lot of must have features into snug vehicle. Our high-end test model, which effortlessly moved around at 200-horsepower, was outfitted with everything from a premium audio system to a dual power sunroof to the automaker’s handsfree steering system. Up until recently, this system was only reserved for Cadillac. So far, less than a handful of automakers have tapped into this stress-free way of navigating today’s busy highways. Its surprising that this technology is available on GM’s least expensive EV.
Furthermore, the Bolt EUV, which is compatible with both a Level 2 and a DC Quick charger, has a driving range nearing 250 miles, when completely charged.
