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.
