2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV And Bolt EV To Be Revealed On February 14th

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV crossover and the refreshed 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV hatchback will make their long-awaited official debut on February 14th, the automaker has confirmed.

In a statement released Tuesday, Chevrolet revealed that it has teamed up with Walt Disney World to promote the next month’s unveiling of the new electric vehicles, which will go on sale this summer.

“Realizing the dream of an all-electric future will require more than just technology — it’s about having the desire, imagination and ingenuity to build a better tomorrow,” the release said. “As Chevrolet takes the next steps on its journey to a zero-emissions future, the brand is teaming up with Walt Disney World to reveal the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Bolt EV and show how magic can take place when the imagination is electrified.”

Both the 2022 Bolt EUV and refreshed Bolt EV will ride on the latest GM Battery Electric Vehicle architecture, otherwise known as the GM BEVII platform, and are expected to utilize the same electric drive motor. A teaser image GM released of the Bolt EUV’s instrument panel revealed the electric crossover will have a maximum range of 277 miles (or 445 kilometers) which is 18 miles more than the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The current Bolt EV is powered by a single electric motor mounted on the front axle, which produces 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, and a 66 kWh lithium-ion battery.

Chevy has also confirmed the Bolt EUV will be available with the automaker’s hands-free Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving assistant. The technology has so far only been offered on Cadillac vehicles, but GM plans to slowly expand its availability in the coming years, with plans to offer it on 22 different vehicles before the end of 2023.

The 2022 Bolt EUV and refreshed Bolt EV will be built alongside each other at the GM Lake Orion plant in Michigan. General Motors announced a $300 million investment in the plant in 2019 in order to prepare it for increased electric vehicle production.

  3. I think the euv would sell well if Americans actually want to drive ev. Which they don’t . I would not buy an electric . I would lease one if they gave it to me for a great deal . The cars are throw away due to the batteries degrading over time . Unless cheap replacement batteries are available and reliable , can’t see spending that money on a 5 year throwaway in the same way tour smartphone is a 3 year and Ditch item .

    1. The batteries have 10 year warranties and the Volt has proven that they last a long time with the Battery environmental conditioning system GM uses.

      There have been multiple Volts in and above the 300k mile range and now there are Bolts entering the 100k to 200k mile range and they have been reported to see little to no degradation either.

      Yes there is some but it’s in the single percentages.

      GM’s batteries last because they are so conservative with them and how they are protected.

      1. I don’t know why people say these somewhat silly things…. Anyone who has had a cell phone, cordless phone with lithium-ion batteries, or laptop computers know these things degrade much faster than ideal. I’ve had 4 voltec products so far (3 gen 1 products and 1 gen 2 volt). After about 80,000 miles on both the 2012 volt and currently, about 80,000 miles on the 2014 ELR (purchased May 2015) are at about the 70% capacity level as compared to when they were new.

        The 2017 bolt – the one with the ‘troubled’ battery, is not quite so bad at 68,000 miles – down to about 90% of capacity currently. The 2019 volt with only 15,000 miles on it is down a bit but with the winter weather here it is difficult to give an accurate assessment – but seems to be at least as good as the other 2.

        GM (from their point of view) got the ‘right’ life out of the battery – its degradation is just a bit less than forcing a required battery replacement. Since the warranty completely expires on the 2012 volt and 2014 ELR after 8 years/100,000 miles – it is already expired on the volt and only 20,000 more miles to go on the ELR. It is possible that it will be bad enough to force them to put in a used replacement just prior to 100,000 miles.

        Some owners I have heard have ‘lucked out’ in that they couldn’t find used batteries to put in, and they got Brand New batteries to satisfy the warranty..

        I know I won’t be so lucky. If I turn the ELR in at 90,000 miles as having a battery that is degrading too quickly, they’ll find another clunker battery just good enough to make it squeak by the remaining 10,000 miles.

        1. Battery degradation also depends on the number of charge cycles and how deeply depleted the batteries are after each charge.

          Families ELR has seen very little degradation in it’s pack.

        2. And anyone with any knowledge of EV batteries at all knows that a lithium ion battery in a cell phone cannot be compared to a lithium ion battery in a vehicle. One of the things that kills a lithium ion battery is the battery being used outside of its ideal temperature range.

          For a cell phone this is the majority of the phone’s life because there is no thermal management system for phones at all. Hence the battery dies in a couple years of being exposed to the constant heat generated by the phone’s processor.

          In a vehicle, the battery is both heated and cooled using a liquid thermal management system always keeping the battery within a couple degrees of ideal. The only exception to this is a Nissan Leaf, which is why those cars are known for having very short battery lives compared to other manufacturers.

          I question your Bolt degradation numbers. You say it’s one with the “troubled battery”, and 90% is the exact number that GM issued a software update to set the maximum charge rate to for safety until they can determine the root cause of the fires. Was this 90% before or after the recall?

          1. GM released a patch to prevent the battery charging beyond 90% of the total pack capacity. What’s usable for Driving is now 95%.

    2. Chevy is giving a great deal on a 2021 Bolt EV lease right now. $199/mo for 36 months.

    3. Most lithium-ion cells are well made. Chevy Volt owners still run with the original packs after almost ten years. You must be thinking of Tesla cells that last less and tend to overheat and explode, even when parked. Or are you thinking of all the imports that litter our junkyards? Those are the real “throwaways”!

      1. LOL “throwaways”?? You mean like the battery and in fact the entire EV system the volt uses thats made by the Korea based company LG?? I think Ford and even Hyundai use LG also. We will see.

  4. 50k for a Bolt with SuperCruise, what were they thinking? To top it off, it’s ugly and will have a GM Walmart interior.

    1. ROFL Price hasn’t even been announced yet, and we haven’t even seen the whole vehicle yet. You are way to quick off the draw.

  5. GM designers lacked a little inspiration regarding the lanterns.
    Analyzing the photos, it is clear that the design is very similar to the VW Nivus, a crossover derived from the Polo that was designed in Brazil.
