In electrical matter, We have been very pending on any news about Chevrolet Bolt EUVnot only because of the “novelty” that its arrival has implied, but also because of knowing how far it can really go in terms of autonomy and functionality.

Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2022: Designed to flow

After the previous meetings and contacts with this model, there is not much to add, but it must be emphasized that, In terms of design, each line and/or element in the bodywork has been designed to help the aerodynamic coefficient.

The above is not new to zero emission vehicles either, but when we look at Bolt UEV, suddenly we are already looking at a small SUV, so that is where we understand its last name: Electric Utility Vehicle (EUV) that with only 4.3 meters long and 1.7 m wide, is allowed to accommodate five passengers, although if what you really want is to travel comfortably, 4 would be ideal; this largely due to the absence of the transmission tunnel that allows a flat floor throughout the cabin (another constant of EVs) and a very healthy 2.6 meters of wheelbase, courtesy of the GM BEV2 (Battery Electric Vehicle) architecture on which Chevrolet EUV is built.

The rest of the cabin proposes a set of ideal solutions arranged to help us on each journey; looks “very SUV”, but it really shows that its mission is to make available elements that contribute to “the electric experience”, that is to say: storage of objects, bins, induction charger for smartphones, glove compartment, console, cup holders, compact but comfortable and well-padded seats, as well as materials with good finishes; it is not for less, well In the end, it results in a vehicle that is dangerously close to a million pesos and, in that price range, any client is entitled to demand that and more.

Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2022: Behind the wheel

Driving an electric car can be as bewildering as it is fascinating. Disconcerting because there are so many models who, seriously, you have to get used to itand this is not a reproach or a bad term, but currently, regardless of the segment, the amount of information that an EV can present to you can become overwhelming for those who like “more basic” handling or sensations.

As well, Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2022 is located in an ideal middle ground for the user to take full advantage of all the services both comfort and efficiency. A single digital display reports everything that happens in terms of charging, autonomy, consumption, energy regeneration, as well as the status of its two main aids in terms of efficiency:

One Pedal Driving: It allows accelerating, braking and recharging energy only with the right pedal. Its activation is through a button placed on the console and literally, you only have to accelerate at will and release to brake. You have to get used to it and be careful, but once the measure is taken, the energy regeneration work is impeccable, especially in traffic or long road slopes.

Regen on Demand: It is activated by a paddle placed on the left side of the steering wheel and the best way to optimize its operation is in sections where the speed is constant. Like One Pedal Drivign, you have to get used to it because its function also exerts an action on braking, because at the end of the day, let’s remember that these systems are designed to transform energy.

Chevolet designed an infotainment system that helps the user not drive “blind”, what do I mean? In addition to all the graphic representations and indicators of the digital display, a 10.2″ touch screen, in addition to being the nerve center of the Bolt EUV’s connectivity, presents us in a more “illustrative” way the state of charge of the batteryconsumption ranges, recharges, etc.

2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV: For whatever

We had several encounters with this electric model and in each of them we were able to gradually discover its benefits, that is, we learned several things:

There is no reason to be limited in its use, we can ask you for any transport or loading taskthe latter optimized by the folding rear seatbacks.

You can circulate in any driving condition without limitations: heat, rain, dirt, mud, you can travel, you can take your pet, go to the movies, to eat or to the supermarket while it recharges.

We learned to make it efficient both in the city and on the highway and with it get very close to 400 kilometers autonomy it offers.

The totality of its recharges -like everything electric- depends entirely on the time and type of charge to be supplied, the ideal? 240 volts @ 48 amps for 100% with 7 hrs. of load.

The total responsibility regarding the autonomy it offers does not rest solely with the car or in the lack of infrastructure to recharge; It depends largely on the driving habits and discipline of each user.
