The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV has been EPA-rated at 247 miles of range.
Published On 12 May 2021 06:34 PMThe Bolt EUV has a taller, more upright profile than the Bolt EV, which is less aerodynamic but allows Chevy to market the EUV as a crossover.
Efficiency ratings for the Bolt EUV are 115 MPGe combined (125 MPGe city, 104 MPGe highway), which is less than the 2022 Bolt EV's 120 MPGe combined (131 MPGe city, 109 MPGe highway). That, in turn, is better than the 2021 Bolt EV's 118 MPGe combined (127 MPGe city, 108 MPGe highway).
The Bolt EUV does at least offer substantially more range than the Nissan Leaf Plus, which is rated at 226 miles in base S trim; higher-level SV and SL models are rated at 215 miles. The Leaf also lags in efficiency, at 108 MPGe combined for the S trim level, and 104 MPGe combined for the SV and SL trim levels.
Chevy has lowered the price of the base Bolt EV and priced the EUV accordingly—recalibrating Bolt EV pricing, which has depended heavily on incentives and deals. With the Bolt EV positioned as the entry-level model, the Bolt EUV is priced higher, with more standard equipment than the Bolt EV. It also gets GM's Super Cruise driver-assist system, which isn't available on the Bolt EV.
GM is no longer eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit available—which makes rival models like the Ford Mustang Mach-E closer than you might think in terms of price. The base rear-wheel drive Mach-E only offers 230 miles of range, but Ford offers a larger battery pack that can boost range into 300-mile territory, plus an all-wheel drive option.
