The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is flat-out fun to drive.  In fact, I was surprised just how fun.

So EUV is the acronym Chevy is going with.  And it stands for an electric utility vehicle.  To me, it's a bigger, faster, and more comfortable Bolt.  But, oh man, it's 'go-kart' fun to drive.

'22 Chevy Bolt EUV LT Trim

2022 Chevrolet Bolt Electric Utility Vehicle Review

Chevy's website touts Bolt EUV's 0 to 60 MPH as 7.0-seconds.  And after driving it, that seems really off.  Because it feels way quicker.

Maybe Bolt EUV's quickness lies in its 0 to 30 MPH time.  But whatever the case, it's fun to drive.  Specifically in acceleration but also handling.

Plus inside is very well laid out and comfortable.  Quality surfaces to the touch as well as the fit.  Consequently, Bolt EUV delivers a solid drive while also feeling solid.

Additionally, Bolt EUV is the first Chevy to offer Super Cruise.  And that is hands-free driver assistance tech on roads that are enabled.

Trim Configurations And Prices

The all-new Chevrolet Bolt EUV is being offered in two trims for 2022.  And I was surprised to realize the trim that I test drove wasn't the top of the line.

2022 Chevy Bolt EUV Trims And MSRPs:

LT $33,995

Premier $38,495

So my test driver, pictured throughout this article, was the LT trim.  All things considered, during my test drive, I thought for certain that I was cruising in the top trim level.  Because even the LT had that many creature comforts.

Electric Drive, Charing And, Range

Regardless of trim, the 2022 Bolt EUV is being offered in two-wheel drive.  Specifically, that's front-wheel drive.

Additionally, the same single motor and gear set with a permanent magnetic drive motor come in both trims.  And that setup delivers 200 horsepower with 266 pound-feet of torque.

Charging Times

Of course, charging times vary.  Because it all depends on what type of charger you're using.

2022 Chevy Bolt EUV Charing Times:

120 Volt - 4-miles of range per charging hour

240 V 32 amps - 25-miles per charging hour

240 V 48 amps - 37-miles per charging hour

DC Fast Charge - Up to 95-miles in 30-minutes

To be clear, the 120 V charger is your typical at-home wall socket.  Then the two different 240 V options are chargers EV owners typically have install at their homes.  Which leaves DC fast charging.  And that's charging available at public facilities.  Like highway fueling/charging stations.

Range And MPGe

MPGe is an acronym that stands for miles per gallon equivalent.  Because 'gallons' of electricity does not exist.  At least not yet anyway. :0)

So the MPGe for the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV varies as well.  And that's because it really depends on how much strain you put on the vehicle's overall systems.  Like the air conditioning system.  Or the ventilated seats.  I used both extensively during my test drive.  (And it didn't seem to impact the vehicle's performance a bit.)

But what all this really breaks down to is the vehicle's range.  Or how far will it go on a full charge?  And the EPA-estimated range for the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is 247 miles on a full charge.

Finally, for the record - and the curious, the MPGe is 125 in the city and 104 on the highway.  For a combined total of 115 MPGe.
