Chevrolet 2022 Bolt Power Flow Screen pre-production. Click to Enlarge.
Chevrolet today shared a peek of the 2022 Bolt EV Power Flow Screen, which will give owners information about their electric vehicle, including regen braking1 use and battery charge level. The Bolt EUV (electric utility vehicle) will be the first electric vehicle from Chevrolet to offer Super Cruise2, the industry’s first true hands-free driver assistance system for divided and compatible highways. The refreshed Bolt EV and the Bolt EUV will go into production in summer 2021.
Starting with model year 2020, the Bolt EV has an EPA-estimated 417 km of range on a full charge, a 10% increase (34 km) compared to previous model years. Be aware – as always – actual range will vary based on temperature, terrain, battery age and how a driver uses and maintains the Bolt.
Two trim levels available: LT and Premier are offered. Bolt is pricey starting just under $38,000. Bolt EV’s drive system uses a single, high-capacity electric motor for propulsion capable of producing up to 266 lb.-ft. (360 Nm) of torque and 200 hp (150 kW) of power, enabling 0-96 km/h in 6.5 seconds. Power delivery is controlled by Electronic Precision Shift system. The Bolt EV’s 66 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack is made up of 288 individual cells. The Standard DC Fast Charging system enables the battery to be charged up to 160km of range in 30 minutes.

While driving in Low mode at any speed, “One Pedal Driving” lets you speed up and slow down using only the accelerator pedal. When you want to speed up, press your foot down like you normally would. And when you want to slow down, just lift your foot off the accelerator. One Pedal Driving helps you capture some of the energy from the moving vehicle and turns it back into electrical energy which is stored in the battery. Of course, you should always use your brake pedal if you need to stop quickly.
Currently original purchasers of new Bolt EVs have access to Chevrolet’s exclusive Energy Assist feature through the myChevrolet (sic) mobile app that requires active OnStar service and a compatible device. Of course, data rates apply. Energy Assist allows customers to view and search for scarce charging stations, plan a trip with multiple waypoints and charging stops, monitor their route, and receive alerts if their destination becomes unreachable.
Last year, the myChevrolet (sic) mobile app was updated to enable smartphone projection of the Energy Assist feature to the vehicle’s infotainment system via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for drivers with model year 2017 or newer Bolt EVs.
