2022 Chevy Bolt EUV EPA Range Confirmed At 247 Miles

The Environmental Protection Agency has released its official range estimate for the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV electric crossover.

The 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV will achieve an EPA-estimated 247 miles of range on a full charge. The EPA also estimates the electric crossover will achieve 125 MPGe city, 104 MPGe highway and 115 MPGe combined. This is equivalent to energy usage of 29 kWh for every 100 miles driven.

EPA data indicates the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV will cost owners around $500 per year in energy costs, based on estimates of 45% highway driving, 55% city driving and 15,000 total annual miles. This would mean it costs 96 cents to drive 25 miles in the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV based on current energy costs. The government agency says the Bolt EUV can save drivers around $5,500 per year in fuel costs over five years compared to the average new internal combustion engine-powered vehicle.

The Bolt EUV is powered by a single, front-mounted electric motor producing 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, which draws power from a 288-cell 65 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Standard DC fast charging capability enables the electric crossover to add up to 95 miles of range to the vehicle in about 30 minutes.

The vehicle also comes standard with Chevy’s new Dual Level Charge Cord, which features a changeable plug that makes it compatible with both a 120-volt three-prong Level 1 outlet or a 240-volt Level 2 outlet. Plugged into a 120-volt outlet, the Bolt EUV will gain 4 miles of range per hour, while a 240-volt outlet will provide a full charge in roughly 7 hours.

The Bolt EUV utilizes the GM BEV2 platform, which it shares with the existing Chevy Bolt EV. The crossover will enter production at the GM Lake Orion Assembly plant this summer, with prices starting at $33,995, including destination. The vehicle will be built and sold alongside the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV hatchback.

  1. I wish they’d have put a slightly larger battery in this, or even better, offered different range options.
    Maybe a less expensive 200 mile and a more expensive 300 mile version would make it a lot more competitive.

    1. Dear Nate, My sentiments exactly! Offer the current 65kW version with 247 miles of range and offer an 80 kW battery with 300 miles of range. Also, the max DC charging rate has not changed since the 2017 Bolt EV, which is ridiculous 4 years later in today’s world were people can only afford 1 EV car and they also need to take long trips. They must have their EV SUV (EUV) be able to do everything. They should have a max DC charging rate of 150kW not 55kW, if they really want people start buying EVs in large numbers to non-EV owners. I talked to my brother and he would not even consider this Bolt EUV since it only gains 90 miles with 30 minutes of DC fast charging and it takes about 60 minutes to get to 80% (from 4%) or about 180 miles of range in one hour. That means stopping evey 3 hours for an entire hour is ridiculous, he said. He said nobody has time for that on a long road trip. To go 600 miles in a day means making 3 stops for a total of 2-1/2 hours idle time is ridiculous. Normally he would have about 1 hour of time for lunch and gas-up and a couple of quick rest stops on the way, so about 1-1/2 hours total stop time. Having 150kW charging speed and a range of 300 miles would cut down the waiting time to 1-1/2 hours which is more reasonable for a daily trip of 600 miles when on a long road trip vacation. Was it really too much to ask for an 80 kW battery (only 14kW more than the previous Bolt) and a 150kW charging speed? It’s been 4 years since the first Bolt for goodness sakes.

      1. This reminds me of the Mach E recharging I was reading about. For highway travel you would basically be stopping every 2 hours to charge for almost 1 hour. And that was the extended range version.
        Tesla is really ahead of everyone with both their network and their charging speeds.

  2. 29 kWh for every 100 miles is a foolish way to measure efficiency. Just invert the equation and we get 3.3 miles per kWh, which is easier to understand and is silimilar to miles per gallon in gassers, because both are terms of miles per energy value.

    1. A lot of countries use liters per 100km, so maybe they are thinking of it that way.
      It’s not really useful for actual driving, but if everything is rated that way, then you could compare them.

    2. They are doing their best to hide the reality comparison AND they aren’t including the hidden taxes which are in the pipe for EV’s as in per mile driven. Gasoline is taxed at the pump which also includes a penalty for buying the engine you want (Gas Guzzler Theft Fine) although it is also already taxed when you buy gas. In other words, another leftwing fleecing of your American right to drive whatever the “F” you want. Leftist will attack freedom at every single level if and when they can. Commies.

      1. That’s interesting, because the original push for EVs, many years ago, was about getting us off of foreign oil and making us self sufficient.
        Obviously we produce plenty of our own oil now, but still, if you could put up enough solar panels you could offset what it costs to charge an EV and be more self sufficient as an individual.

  3. That’s pretty good I guess.

    Reply
    1. If by pretty good, you mean worse than the original Bolt then yes. Yes, it is pretty good. I don’t really understand how people think Mary Barra is currently doing a good job… this vehicle is less attractive in almost everyway than the original Bolt. Lowercase gm is literally moving backwards.

      1. I honestly think this looks better than the original Bolt. Not way better, but better anyway.

        Reply
        1. Yeah but doesn’t it have less range? Isn’t that a step backwards?

          Reply
          1. this is for the bolt euv. not bolt ev. the bolt euv is a little bigger.

            Reply
            1. Yes, Steve, but it is close to an SUV which should have more range to take long road trips. Was it really too much to ask for a little more range and faster charging rate than the old Bolt?

              Reply
              1. i think if you are taking long trips, you shouldn’t be driving an ev.

                who wants to take their family on a trip and worry about where to charge and what to do with the kids while it is charging?

                the constraints that ev’s put on a long trip is ridiculous.

                if anything, i think most ev’s have too much range. i’d bet that most drivers don’t drive more than 150 miles/day 99% of the time.

                1. Dear Steve, I partially disagree. With a little more range of 300 miles and a charging speed of 150kW the Bolt EUV would be a viable family vacation car, especially now with all the new 150kW and 300kW Charge America charging stations and other brands too that have gone up the past few years. And most of them are near resturants. But many more need to go up. I drive the 2017 Bolt EV and we can take longer road trips now than when we first bought it in 2017. But going from say Las Vegas to Chicago whould still be difficult, but doable in 3 days with very careful planning using the Plug Share App. Coordinating meals (breakfest and lunch) with charging and selecting hotels that have overnight charging, so you’re ready to go first thing in in the morning, But it would make it much much easier with 300 miles of range and 150kW charging speed.

            2. They are really basically the same car… It’s a disappointing “evolution” of the platform.

              Reply
        2. Hi Nate, I prefer the old Bolt’s front and the new Bolt’s rear.

  4. Chevy will introduce the Ultium Batteries in an Equinox sized EV in the future which will probably have a longer range with more range choices. Hopefully the Camaro and Corvett will also have EV’s in the not too distant future. The Bolt/EUV is just a stop gap until then.

    Reply
    1. Dear Ernest, Where did you hear this from? I hope it’s true. I think an all-electric Equinox EV would easily become their best seller. They really should have done that first or at least come out with a slightly smaller Equinox EV that has a much lower drag coefficient. With a slightly smaller Equinox EV, low drag coefficient of .23, and an efficient heat pump for both heating and cooling the cabin with the 100kW Ultium battery could easiely give it a 350 mile range and charging speed of 250kW. Now that would be SWEET! Of course Tesla already has that lower end SUV in the Model Y, which means GM is way behind Tesla. GM, you have some spinting to do to catch up. How long will it take GM to actually deliver this new Equinox EV is a critical question along with will it have enough range (350 miles) and adequate charging speed of today’s latest tech of 250kW? I’m glad to see that GM is building 2 Ultium battery factories to hopefully meet the future demand for EVs.

      1. Thank you Jeff for the info. Since the Bolt/EUV is using old battery technology, its just a matter of time that it will not be competetive anymore. Its bearly competetive now. Do you have any informaion on the new Equinox EUV? The new Bolt?EUV has innovative technology but as you stated the battery range/charging is not competetive. It seems Hyundai/KIA is making more progress than any company right now.
