The Bolt EV and EUV are versatile electric vehicles with flexible cargo space, high-tech features, and practical range. They're also two of the most affordable battery-powered models on the market, making them appealing options for drivers seeking an accessible entry point into electric automobility. But which one is right for you? To help you determine the right fit for your Pell City or Gadsen commute, here's a quick overview of their similar and distinguishing attributes.
Design and Interior
While the Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV have similar names and aesthetic details, there are a few notable differences. The Bolt EV is a hatchback, while the Bolt EUV is a crossover, trading a bit of range for the more traditional, boxier design of an SUV. The Bolt EUV is also six inches longer. Cargo space for both models is equal, measuring 17 – 57 cubic feet behind the second and first rows, respectively. However, the Bolt EUV leverages its larger dimensions to provide roomier passenger accommodations, particularly for rear passengers who get an extra three inches of legroom and nearly two more inches of headroom.
Performance, Range, and Charging
The Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV utilize the same single-motor powertrain, driving the front wheels with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. A 65-kWh gives the Bolt EUV crossover an EPA-estimated range of 247 miles. The Bolt EV's sleeker hatchback sleeker design provides improved aerodynamics, increasing its EPA-rated range to 259 miles.
Level 2 charging from a 240V appliance outlet allows you to add 24–26 miles of range per hour, reaching a full charge in about ten hours. With 11.5kW Level 2 equipment, the rate increases to 37–39 miles of range per hour, replenishing the battery in under seven hours.
Features
The Bolt EV (1LT, 2LT) and Bolt EUV (LT, Premier) both have two trim levels and similar standard features, including a digital instrument panel, a 10.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Chevy Safety Assist driver aids. Each model also offers available equipment like leather upholstery, a 360-degree camera, Bose audio, heated front seats, and adaptive cruise control.
However, the Bolt EUV's Premier trim includes several amenities that aren't available to its hatchback sibling. Notable examples include:
- Ventilated front seats
- Heated rear seats
- Panoramic sunroof
- Digital rearview mirror
- Super Cruise: semi-autonomous driving system with hands-free capability
