We’re Driving The 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV: What Do You Want To Know?

The 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV is the second model year for the small all-electric utility vehicle, following up on the initial 2022 model year with only a handful of changes and updates. Now, GM Authority is climbing behind the wheel for some firsthand experience with the compact five-door, which leads us to ask – what do you want to know about the 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV?

Production of the Chevy Bolt EUV takes place at the GM Lake Orion Assembly plant in Lake Orion, Michigan, the same facility that produces the Chevy Bolt EV. The Chevy Bolt EUV and Chevy Bolt EV both ride on the GM BEV2 platform.

Motivation in the 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV is sourced from a single front-mounted Voltec drive motor, the output of which is rated at 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. A 65 kWh lithium-ion battery provides the juice. The 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV is available exclusively with front-wheel drive. Range-per-charge is estimated at 247 miles.

Our tester vehicle is an example of the range-topping Premier trim level and is covered Silver Flare Metallic paint. The cabin features the Jet Black interior colorway with leather-appointed upholstery.

Standout features inside the cabin include a 10.2-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen, with voice recognition, Bluetooth audio streaming, wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, and wireless device charging. Further cabin highlights include heated seats front and back, ventilated front seats, and an 8-inch multicolor driver information center.

Safety and security features include:

Our tester is also equipped with several optional packages, including the Redline Appearance Package ($495), which adds in red stitching for the interior, red-and-black badging, and a red outside mirror stripe, not to mention a set of new 17-inch Gloss Black painted aluminum wheels with Red accents (RPO code PWW). Further optional equipment includes the Sun and Sound Package ($2,495), which adds in a seven-speaker Bose audio system, a dual-panel sunroof, and Chevy Infotainment 3 Plus with navigation. Finally, our tester is equipped with the Super Cruise Package ($2,200), which adds the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system.

Standard vehicle pricing is listed at $31,700, while the total for the options is $5,190, bringing the total vehicle pricing with options to $36,890. A destination freight charge of $995 brings the final total vehicle price to $37,885.

        3. Here in Quebec the car program I watch every Sunday morning ( it has been on for 25 years) says that GM does not recommend use of a trailer of any kind and they concur. These experts have tested many cars over the years and are very good. rpmweb.ca French only and better than Driving.ca

          1. I’m sure one can theoretically tow with the the Bolts, but given that GM does not recommend it, I wouldn’t go there. If you’re looking to tow, other vehicles are likely better options.

          2. Picked up my Bolt Ev last Friday, averaging 5.2 mi/kwhr. Is that average ? On the technique it has me at +65, have another 450 miles on it so far , no problems except Qmerit people are so unorganized. Not sure so far if it’s best to use one pedal driving in town and turn it off at highway speeds or best to use one pedal all the time

    2. Hoe long will it take to drive from Miami to New York ? What will a new battery cost or will the battery cost more than the car is worth

      Reply
      1. Why is everyone worried about the cost of replacing the battery? You’re never going to have to do it.

        Reply
        1. It’s a valid concern because it’s the weak link in every battery powered device. It’s always the first thing to fail. Some of us don’t buy new vehicles every few years. If you run an ev long enough, the battery will fail.
          My truck is 19 years old, and my daily driver is 39 years old. Not likely to happen with an ev. (Especially because batteries don’t like the cold where I live)

          Reply
          1. Remember to charge the battery to 80% on daily use to preserve the integrity of the battery over time and it’s best to not let it go below 20%. When going long distances, it’s ok to charge to 100%, but best on daily use to not max past 80%.

            Reply
            1. So that would reduce range significantly for commuting if I can only use the middle 60% of the battery. In the cold months that would be a terribly short range. I’ll stick with my ICE vehicles that are all paid for.

              Reply
              1. Then stick with commenting on articles about ICE vehicles and leave EVs out of it.

      3. Depends on how long you want to drive. I use to drive Montreal / Pompano Beach in 12 hour shifts with my Honda Accord. 12 one day and 12 the next. Average speed was 130kph. That was in the 90s. Had to follow someone going faster than me. Many did. I always wished that there was an Autobahn like in Germany, I then could have done it in less time.

  3. What charge times do you experience between 20% and 80% charge on level 2 and level 3 chargers?

    Reply
    1. Just yesterday, this Bolt EUV went from 31 percent to 80 percent in 45 minutes on DCFC.

      Have yet to find a Level 2 outlet. Will let you know the results when I do.

      Reply
    2. My level 2 charger will add 28 miles per hour on a 40-amp circuit.

      Reply
      1. Not bad. That would be just about nine hours from zero to full. Since one would be hard-pressed to start at zero, I suspect that most would need less than nine hours.

        The EV use case is to charge overnight at home, which makes complete sense.

        Reply
  4. My use case is a 220 mile drive with 205 miles of highway driving. In theory the indicated range should be far enough. However, in the real world, I suspect it won’t make it in the summer due to air conditioning and in the winter due to heating. How many highway miles at 75 mph can the Bolt go before needing a charge? Assuming a route with with easy access to superchargers along the way, how long would I need to stop to charge to complete the 220 mile journey?

    Reply
    1. Believe it or not, me experience shows AC no real battery consumption. Winter heating is a power hog.

      Reply
    2. Never driven a Bolt but have an EV and can tell you this isn’t going to work for you. The range listed is not close to what you get. Unless you have charging at what I would assume would be your work this isn’t going to work.

      My experience shows you are going to need a 350-mile range car at least to be safe (probably more but that doesn’t exist unless your spending $100k). If it’s cold, you’ll need even more. Hope that helps!

  10. I want to know when GM is actually going to re-start production of 2023 Bolt EV? I have a bench work order my dealer sent GM in Aug 2022! GM executive resolution communicator offered that production has not re-started as yet an could take as long as 12 months most communicator observed. I then asked if I would have vehicle by end of year 2023. Communicator verbally said ‘guaranteed!’ (sic) Further, currently GM has not added price protection Nationally as cost of Bolt EV increased $900 Jan 2, 2023. Why not?? Thank you for your concern.

    Reply
    1. Production never stopped for the EV.

      Reply
    2. Arnold, you have been screwed over by your dealer. If ordered in August you would have your Bolt by now. If your seriously looking for a Chevy EV, go to a certified Chevy EV dealer. Not all dealers are certified. I have many dealers in my area and none are certified. I drove over an hour away to find one and got my Bolt in 3 months.

      1. we ordered a Bolt EUV Aug. 2022 at a GM dealer. the wait: 8 – 10 months until they called in panic. Had we cancelled the order? No, but it appears a VIN # had been issued. After 7months. Wait now 90 days. Or start over somewhere else

        1. I just received a call on bench ordered Aug 2023 that production of Bolt 1LT will start in May 2023. At least I receive regular monthly stays calls monthly from executive resolutions line.

    3. I ordered a EUV in January. It arrived just shy of 3 months. I kept a pretty close eye on Chicago area inventory. I’d estimate 50-100 per month within 250 miles for the lots. They are like unicorns here. On the way home from the dealership, a guy behind me was taking a picture of it.

    4. I understand that production did stop spring of 2022. Battery issues…Our order went in , June 22 when things were a bit backlogged.
      That’s what the dealer told us.

  11. Will production continue for 2024 model year?

    Reply
    1. Will the Bolt/Bolt EUV switch over to the Ultium system? GM says the Ultium battery is more robust, more flexible, can accept DC charging to 100%, designed to accept future upgrades and is significantly cheaper than the current battery technology. Seems a no brainer to convert to Ultium. The 6 module, 53 kWh Ultium battery should give about the same range but with the Ultium inverter the DC charge rate should be twice as fast. It is also possible to vary the size of the Ultium battery, so a 4 module 35 kWh urban runabout, or a 8 module 71 kWh long range variants may be possible. The Ultium family also has a 90 HP AWD assist motor which can be bolted on to give the Bolts much needed AWD capability, and a 45% increase in power.

      Reply
      1. I can already tell you the Bolt will not switch over to the Ultium system. We will likely see the Bolt phase out around 2025 when GM has more Ultium EVs available. (Maybe the EUV will kick around for a little longer). But there won’t be a switch.

        1. Funny thing is that the ultimate system is already an obsolete battery system

          Reply
        2. Gm hasn’t got the ultium system in any car yet and its already obsolete , they need to change to LFP batteries, they are cheaper to produce and you can charge them to 100% all the time

          Reply
          1. @Ian Yes, I expect to see a 2024 model year Bolt EUV. Not sure beyond that.

            @Jimm I see you’re set on pushing your notion. It’s one thing to armchair quarterback things. It’s a whole different matter to bring a portfolio of vehicles to market that will see cumulative production in the millions of units. So while you argue the ideology of Ultium allegedly being “outdated”, GM is building models with the tech TODAY, and I’m certain it’s exploring whatever technology will be most beneficial to its products, customers and its business. Don’t let ideology get in the way or reality.

  12. Is there a bolt on hitch to support a bike carrier for the 2023 bolt euv.
    Thanks

    Reply
    1. There should be. I put a hitch on my 2020 Bolt to attach a bike rack. Was an easy install.

      Reply
      1. David – yes, there are a few hitch-mounted options, but all are third party and obviously require the install of an aftermarket hitch.

        Personally, I prefer to use a roof-mounted bike carrier instead. The Bolt EUV already has the longitudinal roof rails, so all that’s needed are a set of bike carrier rails, which are plentiful in availability from various OEMs.

  14. Cold weather (<30F) highway range at 70mph? Charging time 10-100%? Battery cost? Warranty? Government rebates?

    Reply
    1. Cold weather: we performed our testing in Florida, where it’s currently not anywhere close to below 30F. For what it’s worth, I did average 3.6 miles per kWh while driving a steady 70 mph on cruise control for 15 miles. This was in warm Florida temperature (85F) with AC on the first fan speed and the driver’s seat ventilating at the second level.

      Charging: was able to go from 20 percent charge level to 80 percent in 50 minutes on an Electrify America DCFC, which was running at 31 kW. This would be done in around 38 minutes if the charging station was able to output the maximum 50 kW that the Bolt are capable of accepting.

      Battery cost: TBD.

      Warranty:
      3 years / 36,000 miles of bumper to bumper warranty.
      8 years / 100,000 miles of battery and electric components coverage.

  15. Why didn’t they put sensors on the front of the car so when pulling into a garage you have a warning that you will hit the wall or objects in front? Also, is there a way to shut the cameras of immediately when you first put the car in gear? Very annoying as it “ hijacks” the control center. Can’t turn the radio on, or open a map. Thanks.

    Will they ever increase the size of batery to 300+ range?
    Will they ever increase the DC charging to at least 100+ kwh rate?
    Until then its only usefull as a 2nd car around town and not as ones MAIN stream primary car IMHO.

      1. @imanjunk

        “Will they ever” – yes, but not be for this generation. And that point, the product might not be called Bolt EUV.

        “Until then…” I have no way of knowing what would qualify a vehicle to be your “primary car” is. For me, the Bolt EUV would serve well as my primary car only if I have a Level 2 charger at home and can charge over night.

        @Jimm Allow me to offer another point of view: GM is bringing to market perfectly capable EVs at accelerated speeds, and are doing so faster than all established automakers (not Tesla or any of the EV startups, but let’s see if they will even be around in a decade). Ford is a close second, but still roughly a product cycle behind GM in the EV space. Who can’t “keep up” is everyone else, like Nissan, Mercedes, Stellantis, Toyota, etc.

  19. I would have like to know what the range is like if left outside in a -40 day. When I’m working on a project in my garage, the vehicles go outside. It’s below freezing overnight for 6-8 months of the year. I’d love to know how far range drops when the battery is left out in the cold…or how much energy is required to keep it warm enough to charge in -40.
    Kinda late in the season to test that.

    1. Here’s a question, if it’s-40 where you live , then why the hell are you looking at an EV

      Reply
      1. I’d love to know the answer to the -40 °F question. A bit extreme, but a good question nonetheless. Similarly, I’d like to know if it’d start (and run) in 0° F temperatures as our whether can often be in the 0’s during winter. And how badly is range affected in cold weather?

        Reply
        1. When it was 0, I got a reduced power message for the first few minutes of driving. Wasn’t noticeable other than the message, but I didn’t try to floor it. No issues charging outside in my driveway. It may have taken longer, but I charge overnight so I didn’t notice. 80% range started at around 180.

      1. Generally speaking, electric motors are not affected by cold. You don’t have a starter,fuel systems, or ignition system to fail.
        Yes, the range will suffer with the heater on, heated seats and steering wheel, etc. Our intent is to use our Bolt as a comuter car, not our long-distance cruiser. We have other options for that. Charging during off peak hours works well for us. Starting the car with the app 10 min before unplugging gets the car and seats warm.

          2. Carol I can’t give you a time frame for receiving your EUV. At best it is months away. One way to maybe get one sooner would be to go on Cars.com and put it your location and search new BoltEVU’s. Realistically most of the ones you’ll see are already sold, however some will not be. There will will be a few that have been cancelled by customers that have gotten tired of waiting and bought something else. It’s a long shot, but some have done it, me for example.

  21. Does it handle as well as my ’17 Bolt? Is its turning radius as compact as my Bolt’s is?

    Nice to see Chevy finally offers black wheels as an option. When I bought my Bolt back in ’17, I had its wheels powder coated gloss black which toned down their impact on the visual busyness of the car’s styling.

    1. The EUV drives a bit “bigger” than the EV, but it still handles well.

      Turning circle for EUV is 38.3 ft vs. 34.8 for EV.

      Agreed on the black wheels. They give the car a more modern, less frumpy demeanor.

    1. I agree. The Bolt EUV has a more traditional shape as opposed to the more stubby shape of the Bolt EV.

      I’ve consistently been told by designers that the smaller the vehicle, the harder it is to make it look “good”. The size difference between the two current Bolt models illustrates that statement.

      Reply
      1. The Bolt EV stands out because of its shape. The EUV looks like many other smaller SUV’s. The Chevy Trax and Ford Eco Sport for example. I get a lot of compliments on mine.

  25. Try using the Bolt for a week without a private parking location and charger like in an urban setting.

    Reply
    1. Done. Put just a few miles shy of 400 miles on the car in a week.

      I have no charger at home. Charged thrice at an Electrify America station at a local WalMart. Never got below 15 percent charge. It would work well as a daily for me.

      Reply
      1. Hi Alex,
        We ordered our stage 2 charger from the GM parts desk and picked it up the same day as the car. We had a local electrician install it in our Garage using a 60 Amp breaker. There is no way I was going to wait for GM to arrange my charger installation ( we were told could take Months) we took the credit value instead.

        Reply
  26. Is there a way to tell the charger or the Bolt only to charge to 80% from your home charger? I’ve had a Volt and a Cadillac ELR and I see no way of telling the charger to stop charging at 80%

    How much does range reduce in cold weather. If you live in Michigan or Illinois, what would the realistic winter range be?

    Does the battery deteriorate primarily over calendar time or more over mileage/number of recharges. I put 100,000 miles in 7 years on a Vollt and its range deteriorated just a little. My ELR has about 45,000 miles but over 7 years and so far little deterioration of range?
    Last question, new GM products usually come with free roadside assistance during the warranty period. Does that apply to the Bolt (or other GM BEV products), and does that assistance include towing to a charging station or recharging from a storage battery on the service vehicle to allow a depleted Volt to make it to the closest recharge station?

    Reply
    1. Hi Steven, Dan’s right it’s not easy to find.
      In your charging menu there is a sliding scale you move with your touch screen to the level of charge your desire.
      I found out you also need to enable (away) Charging if you use a public charger during the day when away from your home charger.
      We charge off peak( over night) and start the car with the app before disconnecting the charger to warm the car (seats and steering wheel too). We live in Central Ontario so it is cold now so we charge to 90% to allow for all the warm comforts the car provides.
      Lately we have been doing 3 hr round trips
      And returning home with about 45% battery from 90% I don’t pay attention to the mileage aspect during the winter months.
      In summer I may charge to 80% and see how it goes. It’s nice passing the gas station.
      At a current 1.47 a liter better when it’s 2.00.
      During the summer months.

  27. I’ve had one just like this for about six months and 6,000 miles. It’s a really great car. I hate that reviewers now feel the urge to focus on “cheapest EV”, “starter car”, “good value for cheap price”. I was trying to buy this car when it was $44k and was cross shopping against Audi, VW and Hyundai and it was the best of the lot.

    My only question is will GM actually stop production in 2023? It seems to me that it fills a niche for smaller cars that even the Equinox is too big for. Plus unless this Ultium thing pans out, I don’t see Equinox pricing being as cheap as GM is saying, by the time it hits the market.

  28. I ordered one 7 plus months from a local dealer in the Phoenix area. Any idea when they are going to start fulfilling orders?

    1. Can anyone recommend winter tires for the Bolt EUV. Based on experience driving icy, snowy roads etc.

      Reply
      1. Your dealer should know. Also a very good tire dealer. Check Costco also if you are a member.

        1. Jimm – I’ve used the following four winter tires on other vehicles and have been very much pleased with them:

          1. Bridgestone Blizzak
          2. Michelin X-Ice
          3. Continental VikingContact
          4. Pirelli SottoZero

          From what I recall, all four are available in the 215/R17 size that the Bolt EUV rides on.

  30. In one-pedal drive mode, if you’re stopped at a red light and get hit, will the car move? Should we be using the brake pedal when stopped even though we don’t have to? Thanks!

  31. Definitely use brake pedal at red light stop. It’s safe and good maintenance for brake parts.

    1. I’ve been getting great range so far , one pedal in town , then turn it off for highway speeds, do the prius glide when at highway speeds

  32. i’m wondering why GM is building these cars , then sending them to a lot in Columbia SC and not sending them to dealers, and not telling dealers why they aren’t sending them to the dealers who have buyers waiting ???

    1. I’d have to see pictures to believe this. I live in PA and cars are being delivered. So many are being ordered that the factory can’t keep up.

      1. One of them is mine , been sitting in Columbia fir over a week, dealer tried to call and they wouldn’t tell him anything

  33. I would like to know what/where Consumer Reports “CR” is getting all of the negative “facts” regarding the the Bolt and the EUV. I haven’t seen owners saying bad about these vehicles. I understand there was a battery problem, but I understand that has been resolved. “CR” says they both have extremely bad reliability. I remember “CR” for several years after the Bolt came out, saying they were very good, What changed? I’ve seen “CR” do this before, they find a fault, and never forget the problem, and it keeps showing up in their reporting for years after the problem has been resolved. I don’t own a Bolt or an EUV, but I was seriously looking to purchase one. Thanks for your reply.

    Reply
    1. I agree to the point that I did not renew my subscription to CR last month. The Bolt was rated a top 10 used car up until the battery issue. Now it seems they can’t get over it. I see only minor issues on the Bolt owner’s forum. The opinion of the Bolt in their view makes me question all their other reviews. They claim to be non-biased, but their opinions appear otherwise.

  34. We ordered our Bolt EUV Premier in June 2022
    And took possession in JAN 2023. It went from being approved for build in Dec 22 to at the dealer in mid Jan. The Highland Chev dealer in Aurora Ontario did a great job getting it ready for us and the all weather floor mats are really good. We have just over 1,000 km on it and it is quite nice to drive. We are happy with our purchase. We will need Winter tires next fall/ winter that goes without saying up here.

  36. We ordered our Bolt EUV June 2022 . We inquired Nov and in Dec 2022 heard it was approved for build. Mid Jan we got a call stating it was in.
    Initially we were told 7 to 8 months.

  37. once a vin number has been issued when can the car be delivered?

    Reply
    1. The VIN will be assigned to the car once it starts production. You could still be a few months away from receiving it.

  38. How well do 2 car seats and a bigger stroller (that folds up of course) fit in the EUV? No towing, what about a hitch that will hold hitch accessories like bikes etc?

    Reply
    1. Hi Mike.
      The Bolt EUV back seat is roomier than my 92 Honda civic hatchback . Two car seats should be fine. Same with a fold up stroller if you stand it up on its side.

  39. I was looking for a Bolt for months, all I found was dealers marking them up, and adding crap to the sticker, so I just said the hell with it, told them all that no car on the planet is worth one dollar over sticker,,,, so then last week a local dealer called, said a buyer canceled his order and asked me if I wanted it, at sticker, no add ons, so long story short , I’m picking it up today

  42. Not bad??? I’d say it’s great. You’re getting 325 miles of range for a vehicle rated for 259. I’m getting about 4.5 since the cold weather is over. No complaints on this truly exceptional vehicle.

  43. I appreciate your comments. I do have a non-refundable deposit on my Bolt euv…so I guess I just have to be more patient. I did drive the Premier several months ago at another dealer and I loved it! So just excited to get my new car!
    Thanks!!!

  44. I had just given up on finding a Bolt back in Jan. then this dealer called me a week ago and said he had one coming in any day now and the guy who ordered it backed out, and asked if I wanted it, long story short I bought it, its a Bolt EV 2LT, got it for sticker and no addons, I’ve heard that Tesla just replaced they cameras on their new cars, I have never seen theirs but , I don’t see how they could be any better then the cameras on this Bolt, they are incredible, I can count the damn pebbles in the asphalt lol

    1. Hey Jimm
      120volts not cutting it lol.
      In Ontario GM will install a 240 volt charger as part of the sales agreement (I’m sure lots of small print) we took the cash value and bought our own charger and had local electrician wire it.
      Who needs the stress…

      1. Managed to get our Bolt EUV in for service
        Both the service parking brake and service the transmission messages came up while driving to the dealer. Dealer diagnostic came up rear brake actuator. Parts should be in tomorrow.

    2. Jimm, I had my level 2 charger installed in 3 weeks. Qmerit can be a little difficult to deal with, but they got everything approved. Hang in there!

  47. In the US we don’t get a cash equivalent. Qmerit or $500 worth of fast charging.

  48. Qmerit is a terrible run company
