Author: Radomskyi Maksym VasyliovychChevrolet Bolt EUV is an extended electric crossover based on the Bolt EV hatchback that GM produced for the 2022–2023 model years: a 65 kWh battery, a 150 kW (200 hp) motor, and a 398 km EPA-rated range. Production ended in December 2023, and in 2026 GM brought the model back as the Chevrolet Bolt 2027 with an LFP battery, charging up to 150 kW, and a 422 km range. We break down the specs, the differences from the Bolt EV, the LG battery recall campaign, and what to check when buying a used EUV.

What the Chevrolet Bolt EUV is
EUV stands for Electric Utility Vehicle. The model was unveiled on February 14, 2021 together with the refreshed Bolt EV, and both cars went on sale in the summer of 2021 as 2022 model-year vehicles. Technically, the EUV is the same EV on the Bolt platform, but with a wheelbase that is 75 mm longer and a body that is 161 mm longer. The biggest gain is in the rear row: legroom there is 78 mm more than in the Bolt EV.
The Bolt EUV became the first Chevrolet to offer Super Cruise, an assistant that allows hands-free driving on compatible roads in the US and Canada. It is an option, not standard equipment, and in Ukraine it does not work without the American road map and subscription.
What specs the Bolt EUV 2022–2023 has
Data from the official Chevrolet specification after EPA certification (May 2021).
| Parameter | Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2022–2023 |

| 240 V charging | full in about 7 hours |
| DC fast charging | up to 153 km (95 miles) of range in 30 minutes |
| Length / width / height | 4306 / 1770 / 1616 mm |

The suspension is simple: McPherson struts up front, torsion beam in the rear. Turning radius is 11.66 m, noticeably larger than the shorter Bolt EV (10.62 m), which you feel in tight parking lots.
How the Bolt EUV differs from the Bolt EV
The powertrain and battery are the same in both; the difference is in the body. Because of the higher weight and worse aerodynamics, the EUV goes a bit less on a single charge.
| Parameter | Bolt EV 2022 | Bolt EUV 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 4145 mm | 4306 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2600 mm | 2675 mm |
| Rear legroom | 915 mm | 993 mm |
| Range (EPA) | 416 km | 398 km |
| Curb weight | from 1628 kg | from 1669 kg |
| Trunk / with the rear row folded | 470 / 1614 l | 462 / 1611 l |
| Turning radius | 10.62 m | 11.66 m |
A practical implication for the owner: the cabin floor in the EV and EUV is different, so floor mats and templates do not carry over from one to the other. When choosing accessories, specify the exact body version, not just “Bolt” and the year.
Why the Bolt EUV was discontinued
In April 2023, GM announced it would end production of the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV by the end of the year: the Orion Assembly plant in Michigan was retooled for electric pickups on the Ultium platform. The last cars rolled off the line in December 2023, so the Bolt EUV exists only for two model years — 2022 and 2023. All Bolt EUVs in Ukraine today are used, mostly imported from the US.
What happened with LG batteries and what to check on a used car
The main question for a used Bolt is the battery. On August 20, 2021, GM expanded a recall campaign to cover all Bolt EV 2020–2022 and Bolt EUV 2022 model-year vehicles (NHTSA campaign 21V-650). The reason was two manufacturing defects in LG cells: a torn anode tab and a folded separator in the same cell. Together, they could cause a battery fire during a full charge. According to the NHTSA report, in the US the campaign included 7,366 Bolt EUVs produced from February 18 to August 12, 2021.
The solution was replacing defective battery modules. For the new modules, GM provided an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty in the US. Until the replacement, owners were advised to limit charging to 90% and not to discharge the battery below about 110 km (70 miles) of remaining range.
What this means when buying a used EUV:
- Check the VIN in the NHTSA recall database or with a Chevrolet dealer: it will show whether the module replacement was completed.
- Ask for repair documents for the campaign — for cars imported from the US, this is often the only proof.
- If the settings show a 90% charge limit, уточніть, чи виконано кампанію: such a limit was recommended until the modules were replaced.
- GM’s warranty applies in North America; in Ukraine, you should not count on it.
What changed in the new Chevrolet Bolt 2027
On October 9, 2025, GM unveiled the Chevrolet Bolt 2027 — the model returned “at the request of buyers.” The body was taken from the Bolt EUV with the same 2675 mm wheelbase, but the EUV name disappeared: now it is simply Bolt. It is built at the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, and it reached US dealers in the first quarter of 2026 with a starting price of $28,995 including delivery to the dealer. GM immediately called it a limited-series model; according to Bloomberg and InsideEVs, production will end around mid-2027.
| Parameter | Bolt EUV 2022 | Bolt 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 65 kWh, lithium-ion, LG cells | 65 kWh, LFP, prismatic cells |
| Power | 200 hp | 210 hp |
| Torque | 360 Nm | 229 Nm (169 lb-ft) |
| Range (EPA) | 398 km | 422 km |
| DC fast charging | 95 miles of range in 30 min | up to 150 kW, 10–80% in 25 min |
| Length / height | 4306 / 1616 mm | 4307 / 1622 mm |
| Curb weight | from 1669 kg | 1713 kg |
| Trunk | 462 / 1611 l | 458 / 1594 l |
The key technical change is the lithium iron phosphate battery: GM’s first use of LFP in North America. The capacity is the same, but the more efficient motor and X76 power electronics (the same as on the Equinox EV) delivered, according to the chief engineer, 15 miles of additional range. Peak charging power increased by more than 2.5 times compared to the previous Bolt, the onboard charger is 11.5 kW, and the NACS connector appears for the first time on a Chevrolet from the factory. For cabin and battery heating, there is a heat pump. GM does not officially name the cell supplier; according to The Wall Street Journal, for the first years it is CATL, until the LFP cell plant in Tennessee comes online.
The interior was completely redesigned: an 11-inch instrument cluster, an 11.3-inch screen with Google built-in, a column-mounted selector, an open console, and a bi-directional V2H mode (powering a home from the car). A sporty RS version appeared, and Super Cruise is available as an option.
Which floor mats fit the Bolt EUV
For the Bolt EUV, the catalog includes floor mats made specifically for the longer EUV floor, not for the Bolt EV: Stingray 3D rubber mats with raised edges, EVA for the cabin and the trunk, and textile mats. Everything for the model is gathered on the Chevrolet Bolt tuning and accessories page; mats separately are in the Chevrolet Bolt floor mats section. If you are interested in other models of the brand, see the Chevrolet catalog, and read about Bolt’s bigger electric brother in the Chevrolet Blazer EV review. We explain the difference between EVA and rubber in the EVA mats section.

How to Check a Used Chevrolet Bolt EUV Before Buying
- Check the VIN against the recall database Enter the VIN in the NHTSA recall search or ask a Chevrolet dealer to check it: campaign 21V-650 should be marked as completed.
- Request module replacement records For US vehicles, keep the dealer’s repair document for the campaign — it confirms which battery modules were replaced and when.
- Review charging settings If there is a 90% charge limit, check whether the campaign has been completed: GM recommended such a limit before the modules were replaced.
- Check fast charging Connect the vehicle to a fast charger and make sure charging starts and power is not limited by system errors.
- Choose accessories specifically for the EUV Floor mats and templates from the Bolt EV do not fit the EUV — when ordering, specify the EUV body version.
