The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV will have a maximum real-world range of 277 miles, General Motors confirmed in a recent teaser video for the future electric crossover.
The teaser clip was released to show off the steering wheel for the hands-free Super Cruise driving system that will be available on the Chevrolet Bolt EUV. However, the video also includes a clip of the digital driver’s display, which shows a current battery charge capacity of 235 miles out of a potential maximum of 277 miles. This appears to suggest 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 hatchback.
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV will be revealed in February and will appear alongside the facelifted 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV hatchback. Both vehicles will ride on the same second-generation Battery Electric Vehicle architecture, otherwise known as the GM BEVII platform, and are expected to utilize the same electric drive motor. The current Bolt EV is powered by a 66-kWh lithium-ion battery, which connects to an electric motor producing 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, and delivers an estimated 259 miles of range on a full charge.
Similar to the Bolt EV, the Bolt EUV will be a five-door hatchback/crossover. It will be a class larger than the Bolt EV, however, and will have more space for both passengers and their cargo thanks to its eight-inch longer overall length. The Bolt EUV will also feature slightly raised suspension and black plastic wheel arch cladding for some additional ground clearance and capability. We got a very clear glimpse of the future electric crossover via spy shots last month, which showed the vehicle without any camouflage as it sat in a shipping container.
Production of the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is set to begin at the GM Lake Orion Assembly plant in Michigan this summer following its debut next month. In the meantime, check out the teaser video below to see its new Super Cruise-equipped steering wheel and digital dash display.

the problem is how expensive the car is. A Bolt EV right now STARTS at $45,000 CAD, and usually sells around $50k. The Bolt EUV will probably cost even more. Thats a very expensive car… You could buy MANY premium sport or luxury cars for that price range.
Over the summer I saw a predicted range of 303 miles and a max range over 340 miles with my 2019 Bolt. I do almost exclusively stop and go driving which explains the higher than EPA values. With temps in the 20’s the predicted range is ~200 miles. I also think the EPA rating will be~235 miles.
Are you sure about that 277 mile range Sam?
My take on that image is that based on current charge level, an estimated range of 235 miles is expected. That could be stretched to 277 if you hypermiled or as little as 197 if you went for performance.
However, battery isn’t full. Looks to have a bit more than 75% charge remaining giving you an estimated 235 miles left.
Based on this, I’d guess range of 300 is likely.
The Bolt better start at 25K and the Bolt EUV better start at 29K in my opinion. Chevy needs a Mach-E competitor ASAP.
These Bolts will still utilize the Old Battery Tech and motors. GM better Pray that rumors of the 25K Tesla being ready much sooner than Elon Musk originally stated are false.
Go to Chevy.com right now. The old Bolt EV sells for $45-$50,000. You think a newer and a better Bolt will sell for $20,000 less??? Not a chance.
no bolt sells for $45K-$50K. that is gm’s delusional msrp.
So how much can you buy a brand new Bolt EV for right now? Because base MSRP is $45,000. Same price as a V8 SS Camaro. Or a Cadillac CT4-V.
Going to look at and possibly buy one this morning. MSRP is $44060 with the dealer discount, employee pricing, $8500 rebate, and the $3000 bonus on my GM Card I’m getting a total of $22964 off of MSRP.
If the seating is comfortable I’ll be signing a purchase contract.
What???????? That’s stupid why would they price the car at $50,000 then sell it at $30,000 with $20,000 in discounts??!?!??
Makes ZERO sense to me. But eh, that’s the EV market for you. All politics and bullshyt.
So the dealer discount was about $7,500? I was thinking of buying one but didn’t think there would be a dealer discount when getting the gm employee price.
You have no clue Chevyguy regarding this topic in your post. You should cease commenting and learn from those informed, experienced comments.
I was WRONG the total discount off MSRP was actually $23099! Purchase price of $20961
OTD price with all taxes, license, title, doc fees $23742.85
Lmaoooo!!! So your discounts are greater than your purchase price?????? Why do they do that???? That’s so damned stupid, they should just sell the car at $30k and drop all that bullshyt discount.
Exactly. The Bolt should start at 25K
Customers just took at the MSRP and they most likely move on then.
GM better do something soon because Tesla will not give up. They will have the 25K car sooner rather than later.
I just checked autotrader.com a brand new Bolt EV starts at $45,000.

$45,000 Canadian or $36,500 US
Auto trader is not a dealership where you can actually buy a bolt. Bolt is priced or discounted differently in each state…50 different potential prices with many have discounts due to state govt regs to sell/lease a certain number of bevs from automakers that build gas guzzlers too…like gm and all other large automakers except Tesla.
The “guess-o-meter” displayed in that video tells me that the Bolt EUV in the video has been driven at city speeds in good weather… it gives ZERO indication of what the EPA range will be. The new Bolt will have 259 miles of EPA range and the Bolt EUV will be slightly less than that due to being slightly larger and heavier.
The Bolt and the Bolt EUV will both utilize the old Battery and Motor tech.
If GM doesn’t completely undercut the competition by a wide margin these two vehicles might be DOA.
A bunch of competition coming in that segment and GM is trying to win with Old Tech and high prices. Makes Zero sense if that is the case. If rumors are to believed that Chevy is getting a Mach-E segment CUV than the Price of the updated Bolt and Bolt EUV pricing has to be considerably less.
Not to mention that a year later, Ultium vehicles will be out. If it was out this year as planned, it may have had some early purchasers because they weren’t willing to wait 2 years. But waiting 1 year is much more palatable for what will be the next generation platform, vs an end-of-life platform.
With the improved body style, hopefully, this will improve the public image, for the old-style wasn’t very stylish.
This is equivalent to a gasoline powered vehicle getting 11 mpg. Why even waste money on this debacle?
Dan you need to buy a clue
Show me where I am wrong
Ok, let’s say that the ‘current’ miles to empty at 235 is at the 80% charge level. Charging to full would therefore be 294 miles. On a larger vehicle with the 66 kwh (when new) battery is just fantastic – unless they have been driving the thing on a flat road with no HVAC in moderate weather at a constant 20 mph.
I was under the impression that the new Bolt EUV was going to have the ‘old’ 66 kwh (when new) battery that the Bolt ev currently has, and that, at least optionally at extra cost, it was to have an 11.5 kw charging facility.
GM is so tight-lipped lately with specifics that all we can do is guess.
I have owned my 2017 Bolt for 3 years now, it is common for people driving in city conditions in mild weather to get 5 miles per kWh or better, so the range displayed on the guess-o-meter are not unusual in any way for a Bolt with the 66 kWh battery. The new version of the Bolt and the Bolt EUV are being built on the BEV 2 platform with the same capacity old tech battery and (even worse) old tech charging rate that maxes out at 55 KW on CCS charging. If they drop the MSRP to match reality (new bolts sell for under $25,000 USD) it will have marginally OK sales against the vastly superior competition, (talking about new competition from VW, Ford, and others… not Tesla). If they keep the $45,000+ MSRP it will be a total flop.
Not sure why you Keith and other bolt haters continually misrepresent bolt pricing. LT trims start at about $36K retail for bolt which is the most purchased trim by far. Some states you can get big discounts from gm n dealer, let alone state financial incentives, to bring that purchase price under $30K easy n some times down to the mid $20s.
I am very disappointed with this article, for a site that claims to be an authority on GM.
We all know that the display is 5% increments, which means that you can’t get a real reading of the state of charge. The GoM also wildly varies depending on driving conditions. Claiming that *GM confirmed a specific number* this because of the GoM in a video indicates that the author knows next to nothing about the vehicle. Even if it was accurate, that would be a FAR stretch to say that *GM* confirmed it just because it’s in a video. Even if that, you can’t conclude a specific number from this.
Very hard to say. On one hand a displayed range can be very misleading and could be very difficult to read into as a lot of factors go into that number. On the other hand these types of photos often get a great deal of scrutiny and a part of me thinks that the number displayed could be strategic.
Basically I’ll wait till the launch in February to confirm the numbers.
we just purchased a 2020 Bolt this past Monday. took it for a test drive on the highway at 70mph, with heater, seats and radio running. outside temp was 27 degrees. car drove 175 miles at highway speed and at destination said it had 49 miles left.
compared to our old 2012 Nissan Leaf, this is a major distance upgrade due to the larger battery. it was priced at 23,700 U.S.
after rebates. if this is “old tech”, we still think it is a nice car for that money. we charge at home and have solar available in sunnier weather. ours has the DC charging, and the few times we will actually use it, the system works fine. our leaf had Chaedmo, which we only used three times.. after watching highway mile markers, I have found the estimates so far to be fairly accurate. I DO think the Leaf was a more comfortable car…
Thomas, you probably give the best insight, comment on this webpage…keep putting forward truth sir. More of the ignorant masses will come our to bev side when they simply just get in a bolt or good bev and drive it instead of spewing false notions with no knowledge.
