The all-new 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV made its debut in February, expanding the Bolt lineup with a focus on greater practicality. Now, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released its official “fuel economy” figures for new Bolt EUV.
According to the EPA, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is rated at 125 MPGe in the city, 104 MPGe on the highway, and 115 MPGe combined.
| Driving Condition | EPA Estimate (MPGe) |
|---|---|
| City | 125 |
| Highway | 104 |
| Combined | 115 |
For those readers who may be unfamiliar with electric vehicle “fuel economy” estimates, MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent, and is similar to traditional MPG ratings, at least in principle. However, rather than providing an estimate of the number of miles a vehicle will travel per gallon of gasoline, MPGe (as applied to EVs) provides an estimate of the number of miles a vehicle will travel on the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline (roughly 33.7 kWh of electricity).
MPGe estimates are also used for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).
In addition to MPGe estimates, the EPA also lists the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV total driving range as 247 miles. This more or less lines up with General Motor’s total driving range estimates of 250 miles.
Providing motivation in the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is a 288-cell lithium-ion battery pack rated at 65 kWh, which sends juice to a front-mounted electric motor. Output is rated at 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Plugged into a 120-volt source, the Bolt EUV will gain 4 miles of range per hour, while a 240-volt source will provide a full charge in about 7 hours. Plugged into a DC Fast Charge source, the Bolt EUV nets 95 miles in 30 minutes.
Under the skin, the Bolt EUV runs on the GM BEV2 platform. The Chevy Bolt EUV shares its powertrain and platform with the Chevy Bolt EV.
Pricing starts at $33,995.

look at all those chicken little people waiting to fill up on gas. i guess the petroleum infrastructure couldn’t handle the demand!!!
It will be a lot worse if someone hacks the electrical grid. There is plenty of gas just idiots stocking up. You can’t stock up on electricity.
You can stock up on electricity — solar panels + batteries is a recent combination that some homeowners are taking.
I’m really concerned with the gas shortages as it seems more extensive than hoarding. There were articles a week or two ago warning about gas shortages in the summer due to a lack of truck drivers. It looks like this problem may linger.
Have you not heard of a powerwall?
You can cut a decent amount off your power bill in a lot of areas by literally hoarding electricity during off peak times and using it during peak hours.
i bet people are making more electricity at home than gasoline.
Certainly not with the recent Commie takeover.
Biden doing a great job – the next Jimmy Carter 2.0. What a buffoon. Should be in the nursing home –
What? I genuinely can’t tell what you are talking about in regards to the article.
biden : gasoline shortage.
trump : casket/urn/crematorium shortage.
You also think there was a stolen election too?
I guess half the people have to be stupider than stupid.
of course it was stolen!!!
what do you call it when the person who gets more electoral votes and more of the popular vote is declared the winner??? this is robbery!!!
and then they expect us to provide evidence of fraud??? this is just insane!!! the proof is obvious.
MPGe is a lie. As these things will have to plug into a gas turbine to recharge, (5% of our grid is “renewable”) these things are getting 55miles per gallon actually burned…. Same as a Geo metro. Big whoop.
Hi Jake, That you say is actually incorrect. Take a look at the Union of Concerned Scientists article titled “Cleaner Cars from Cradle to Grave How Electric Cars Beat Gasoline Cars on Lifetime Global Warming Emissions”
Published Oct 29, 2015. Take a look at the map in that article and you’ll see the true MPG equivalent for each part of the electrical grid structure for electric cars. The actual country average MPG for electric cars is 68 MPG as shown at the bottom right hand area of the map. Also, even in those areas where the MPG is lower, electric cars are more efficient at using electricity which is about 90% efficient at transferring electricity into motion compared to gasoline cars which is only about 20% transferred into motion.
“Union of CONcerned scientists” follow the money and you’ll see where the CONcern comes from.
It’s a sound argument for sure, but what about the total carbon footprint of a BEV. Including mining the battery and the end of life recycling. I feel like that is substantially more carbon intensive with a BEV than with an economical ICE car.
Jake I believe you are getting your power grid generation resource mix from an outdated source. In the most recent eGRID report the nation wide resource mix was as follows:
Coal: 23.3%
Oil: 0.6%
Gas: 38.4%
Other Fossil 0.3%
Nuclear: 19.6%
Hydro: 6.8%
Biomass: 1.6%
Wind: 7.1%
Solar:1.7%
Geo-thermal: 0.4%
Other unknown / purchased fuel: 0.1%
That means that renewables makes up 17.6% of the grids power generation. If you then include nuclear then the grid has 37.2% of its power generated by non-fossil fuel sources.
Hydro is a renewable, but it think dams are quite damaging to local ecosystems. I think its crucial to think long and hard before expanding hydro anymore than necessary.
