GM unveils Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV
(Web Desk) - General Motor’s electric vehicle offensive is kicking into high gear as the company has introduced the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV.
Featuring bold designs, affordable prices tags and ranges of at least 250 miles (402 km), the Bolts are part of GM’s plan to launch 30 new electric vehicles by 2025.
The Bolt EUV will become the first Chevy and first electric vehicle with the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. It allows for hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles (321,869 km) of roadway in the United States and Canada.
Both models have a 65 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which powers an electric motor that develops 201 hp (150 kW / 203 PS) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque. This means the Bolts are front-wheel drive and this could limit the EUV’s appeal.
The battery enables the Bolt to travel an estimated 259 miles (416 km) on a single charge. Despite the Bolt EUV’s larger dimensions and increased weight, it’s expected to have a range of 250 miles (402 km).
Both models feature an 11 kW DC fast charging capability and this enables the Bolt to get up to 100 miles (161 km) of range in 30 minutes. Likewise, the Bolt EUV can get up to 95 miles (153 km) of range in the same time period.
