A big red flag for us with the 2022 Bolt EV & EUV is the poor design of the back lighting system. The big lights up at eye level are merely running lights, which draws drivers' eyes to them and away from the functioning critical alert lights. The backup light is small & at the very bottom of the bumper! People pull up way too close and won't be able see it way down there! The brake lights are down in the bumper, as well. Are the turn signals & hazard flashers down below eye level, too!?! Those safety hazards are a deal breaker for us.
I just ordered a cherry red EUV premiere. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Watching your videos to learn all about it. Thanks for putting out great content!!
Will be upgrading to the EUV from my 2017 Bolt...the ride is improved; less pitch and bounce. The seats are much improved w/leather. EUV looks better IMHO than the regular model, but neither has done a good job of the rear lighting.
Your videos have been very helpful. I have a 2015 Volt right now but I think I’m ready to go full electric. I plan on picking up a 2LT EV this weekend. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Please when you have time post a review of your new car. I have a 2018 Chevy Volt Premier with both driver packages and I am still in love with it. My big fear of going all-electric would be the range anxiety. Right now running around town I ride strictly on electric. The Longest trip I did was 135 miles round trip and I used the gas generator only both ways saving my electric charged miles and I had to really squeeze 2 gallons into the tank.
Thanks for the great review. I have a 2022 Bolt EUV on order to replace my 2017 Bolt EV which GM is buying back due to the issue with the LG battery pack. I'm going from the LT trim (all I could get at the time) to a Premier Trim with Super Cruise and Sun & Sound. I love my Bolt after 4 years and am jazzed about the EUV.
Great video!! I love how you explain things easily! I have a 2019 Bolt Premier so I’m waiting to get an Ultium based car the size of the Bolt EV or bigger! I really would like 10-80% charge in 30 minutes like the Lyriq!
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville Yes! Hopefully all the current mess will behind us because I won’t be paying sticker or more than sticker for any car. You maybe right about the Equinox EV! GM has the best looking designs currently!
Great review. Thank you. One comment- I have tested both the bolt ev and euv and I think you can tell the 3 inches difference in the wheelbase. The euv is a bit better ride? Love them both however.
I owned the original Prius when it first came out. And I still owe my 2012 Volt which has been a great car. The Bolt EUV looks like it has a lot of nice features for a decent price. But the biggest thing keeping me away is the lack of the 7500 federal tax rebate. The Ford F150 lightning has a pretty good price point once you factor in that rebate. Seems like a superior vehicle if the price it’s just within a few thousand dollars. Better range on the truck as well. I would appreciate any comparison comments you might have. The Kia EV6 also looks really nice for $45,000. More range and I think faster charging as well. Any thoughts on that comparison?
Learning about all the Problems that Hyundai and Kia are currently having with a major recall that could bankrupt the Korean Car Company I would be hesitant to purchase for dear they wouldn't be around. Having friends that had their engines seized and fought with the company to get engine replacements and cover expenses, like car rentals, etc. - I would hold off. The VW I-4 impresses me.
Just leased a Black bolt EUV premier. Excited I wish they would have added power lift gate. My wife minor complain are the dome lights. Other then that very excited.
Congrats on the new Bolt, CJ! I agree with you and your wife… not having LED dome lights is such a minor thing but it makes the car feel more premium when it has them!
Like all your Bolt EUV reviews, only complaint, wish they had included power foot swing to open rear hatch. Have a 2018 Traverse High Country, thinking the Bolt Premier is my next car. Thanks for your reviews.
Not for 2023, they will still be producing the Bolt for that year. We will see after that. They have made comments about having a small-than-equinox EV so that may stay as the Bolt or they may use one of their existing nameplates for that. Also the Equinox is noticeably larger than the EUV so I doubt it’s a 1-to-1 replacement ever.
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville precisely my point. It’s ethically questionable at best for TH-camrs to promote the vehicle while its future is in serious doubts. I’m taking the buyback from Chevy but I’m among the fortunate few. The elephant in the room are those tens of thousands of replacement batteries that don’t yet exist. LG and GM still got some explaining t
I have a 2018 VOLT Premier. I average 53 - 58 EV miles before my Gas Engine Generator comes on. My biggest fear of buying a BOLT EVU is range ANXIETY. To find a charging station while en route that won’t take more than 40 - 60 minutes so we can continue our trip.. Love the car but I am afraid I would use it just around town or somewhere that would allow me to get to point B and return on one full charge. What say you ?
That’s like saying you drive a gas car until you have no gas less and you’re worried about finding a gas station. Charge the car like you charge your phone. When it gets low, recharge it. If you don’t have a place to charge it every night, like you do your phone, don’t buy one.
@@herbyoung2767 No I drive ( Chevy Volt Premier ) an Electric Car that charges in 4 hours or less on my 240v J1772 car charger. A full charge would be 55- 58 electric miles. After that, the ONBOARD Gas engine is a GENERATOR and feeds the drive batteries power. with a combined range of 438 miles. Unlike the BOLT where you have to search for a charging station if you can't make it home to charge up, I have no Range Anxiety. When the BOLT has proven itself, then and only then will I switch to all-electric.
@@ocalakid55 there are so many DC charging stations that you can get up to 80% in 30-40 min, on a longer road strip - which is a reasonable time to take a break for bathroom or lunch...make a few calls. plus, if you have a home charger, i think you don't have much to worry about. That plus chargers out in the world - including level 2 - are plenty if you plug in on a regular basis. A friend shifted my thinking around the bolt when he described that he regularly has his car "sipping" from charging stations while he is out around town - running errands, working at a cafe, etc. It was a little learning curve to plan around where has stations that are reliable, but a fun learning at that. And this is from someone who has NO home charger apart from level 1. I know people love their VOLT so i imagine why change it if it ain't broke! Esp since getting a new car is not really doing a favor to the environment. I am a fan on re-using...ie. buying Used vehicles. In 2-5 years there will be a lot of used EV's on the market for reasonably less money than MSRP. All the best, Bill.
@@passioncoaching I know that all the apps I have are good to try and locate a charger but I believe it all comes down to SIGNAGE. You're driving along on an Interstate / Highway / Tollway and you see several signs pointing out at the next EXIT there is FOOD-LODGING-GAS. but what there needs to be is a sign that says DC fast charging this exit. I took a drive in my new 2022 Bolt Premier from Ocala to Tampa. We were fine with a 100% charge leaving home. When we arrived we were in a good deal more traffic than expected and so once we started for home we had made plans to stop en route home to top off at an Electrify American located in a Walmart parking lot. We saw a sign stating traffic back up on I-75 Northbound. Somehow a truck had blocked our exit and so we continued northbound. Now with less than 61 miles left in the battery and 59 miles to go, we decided to get out of the traffic and took a detour praying I could at least get to the Chevy Dealership to get a small charge off their 240v Level two. Surprise - They were closed. Now with 39 miles left in the battery and 36 miles to home we decided to chance it. We made it home to the garage with 1 mile left flashing orange on the dash. We have decided that for longer trips until there are more chargers along the highways and SIGNAGE we will take our 2020 Honda Ridgeline on those longer trips and save the BOLT for just around town. I have written to all the major Charging companies suggesting they put signage on those boards along the highways stating the next exit for DC charging. TODAY we did take a SUNDAY Trip to the closes DC charging station and for the very first time, I used a DC charging station ( Electrify America ). I plugged in first but wasn't sure how the APP on my apple phone worked. I ended up using my credit card. 46 cents per kilowatt. 80% in 33 minutes. Total $7.31 with tax 58 - charge $7.89. -- Cheaper to charge at home with lower rates at night. If anyone can tell me how you are supposed to use the app downloaded on the phone please explain.
Trying to decide between the 2022 premier and the 2023 premier. Now almost the same price I don't know if the extra money is worth it . Hopefully people can give me there recommendations if they have one of the two . Thxs
They’re almost indistinguishable. I made a video over on my tech channel showing a few of the differences: th-cam.com/video/642QUEMCOgg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e0Z8lti9St3LkN88
I’ll definitely be posting an update video on my personal channel over the winter. TH-cam.com/MetzTech I’m sure there will be a noticeable drop in battery life since it will have to keep the battery heater going
Just test drove today and ZIPPY is right! I’m a little intimidated by the one pedal/regen paddle but I’m sure i’ll get the hang of it! basically just waiting for it off the delivery truck, can’t wait!
Does the brake light come on every time you release the throttle in one pedal mode? Or does it depend how hard it's actually braking? (going downhill). I'm assuming it will light up if you're using 1 pedal and the regen paddle on the steering wheel. Great video, just waiting on my Premier model, my salesman just told me it's being built today actually.
If you are in one pedal mode and let off the acceleration or use the regen-on-demand paddle it will engage the brake lights. Also new for 2022 the brake lights will stay on even when you come to a complete stop in one pedal mode but aren’t using the brakes! Thanks for watching, Casey! And Congrats on the new Bolt! 🥳
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville That's awesome that they added the feature to have the brake lights stay on at a complete stop. That was always an annoyance in my 2019 Bolt EV.
Cmon chevy, theres a blank button on the steering wheel... put the heated steering wheel button there! Defnitely a few questionable design choices but overall ... im considering trading my '19 silverado
I think Chevy has a lot of experience with these cars over other company’s besides Tesla! I’ve owned 2 Chevy Volts since 2014, and not 1 problem👍sad that the battery on these cars are having problems, because if their anything like the Volts, got to be pretty good!
I own a 2018 Bolt EV in Black that I can't stand, only because I detail vehicles on the side and Black sucks..lol. My Bolt gets washed an average of twice a week, one extremely aggravating issue with it is the rear hatch retaining a lot of water after a wash. It leaks for an hour down the rear bumper causing streaks. My question to you is, does the new EUV have the same issue?
I have not noticed it retaining water in my EUV. But I agree sometimes black is annoying. I’ve only had black vehicles though for the last 6 years or so, so I’m used to it
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville Cool, I am currently in the buyback stages and looking at being put into the EUV. My last 5 cars have been white.. Black is very nice looking, for the 20 minutes after its clean..lol. Thanks for the information keep up the videos..
@@passioncoaching I ended up with Ghost Metallic Grey which was my 3rd choice in colors. I did get the Launch Edition model which I wanted. The cost to me after 2018 Bolt EV was evaluated was $345 bucks. 4 years newer..more options so I am pretty happy.
just sat in a 2022 bolt ev and was a little confused about the child sized front seats… i’m 5’10” and slim, so not a giant … the tilted forward headrest was instantly uncomfortable.. why does no one talk about these things in reviews? 🤦🏻♂️ definitely a deal breaker
A big red flag for us with the 2022 Bolt EV & EUV is the poor design of the back lighting system. The big lights up at eye level are merely running lights, which draws drivers' eyes to them and away from the functioning critical alert lights. The backup light is small & at the very bottom of the bumper! People pull up way too close and won't be able see it way down there! The brake lights are down in the bumper, as well. Are the turn signals & hazard flashers down below eye level, too!?! Those safety hazards are a deal breaker for us.
Weird interior is right. Apparently there's no back seat. And, the lower cargo storage for the charge cable, not worth looking at. Also whether the cargo deck is removable. Huh. Weird.
Like what? An equivalent ID 4 is 45k, Kona is 43k, Model Y in the 50s, Niro 45k, Ioniq 5 ~45k for a base model… you could get a Nissan Leaf for cheaper I guess but like why would you? And you slap the tax incentives on the applicable vehicles and they’re all around the same price for now… until they lose their tax incentive then the Bolt is a good bit cheaper than any of those. It’s just a tired argument.
@@skepticalmechanic The Bolt is a much better vehicle all-around. They're worth their retail price for what you're getting IMO. The ID4's infotainment performance alone, along with many other things moved that one out of the running quickly for me. The Kona is just meh as well.
At 40k your in Tesla territory and they have a better super charging network. Your current Bolt fires and failed resolution has damaged your reputation.
Tesla territory but you are still a ways out. You definitely get a better charging network for now… but that will change. I don’t understand “failed resolution”
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville to date there are statements to not charge overnight, charge outside and there is someone who is out 22k because he didn't sue GM when his bolt burned down. There is a joke on Reddit that they should have named the car the inferno. Plug and pray takes on a whole new meaning. So leaving 60000 owners with a potential fire hazard is really reputation damaging even if the issue is fixed. The software fix didn't work. That's a failed result.
@@ChicagoBob123 GM's replacing the affected Bolt's battery modules. This is not something that can happen overnight, it takes a lot of coordination and supply to pull something of that scale off. It also didn't affect just the Bolt, but the Hyundai Kona EV as well. It just became known sooner with the Kona than the Bolt. If you were at the helm of GM, how would YOU have handled this after it became apparent there was a manufacturing defect in some batteries produced by LG Chem? Keep in mind there are global shortages for just about everything from the pandemic when considering your solution GM should have implemented. ;-)
@@dane9193 that's fantastic news as long as they have actual follow through. There is the guy whose bolt burned down from bad battery which they said voided his warranty so he's paying 12k for a car that's junked. 🤔 GM. Has to know internet is much faster and less kind to conpanies that made Billions last year not honoring their warranty
@@ChicagoBob123 I read that story too but that happened before GM agreed to buy back or repair every vehicle. Most likely the guy's car was included in that agreement but I agree, GM's initial attitude about his case was disgusting.
Proud to be part of the assembly team of this car. We build it like we own it! Lake Orion Assembly Chassis 2 😎

I own a 2018 Bolt EV in Black that I can't stand, only because I detail vehicles on the side and Black sucks..lol. My Bolt gets washed an average of twice a week, one extremely aggravating issue with it is the rear hatch retaining a lot of water after a wash. It leaks for an hour down the rear bumper causing streaks. My question to you is, does the new EUV have the same issue?
I have not noticed it retaining water in my EUV. But I agree sometimes black is annoying. I’ve only had black vehicles though for the last 6 years or so, so I’m used to it
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville Cool, I am currently in the buyback stages and looking at being put into the EUV. My last 5 cars have been white.. Black is very nice looking, for the 20 minutes after its clean..lol. Thanks for the information keep up the videos..
@@chicagomike2111 what did you end up getting,...color, etc..
Mike?
@@passioncoaching I ended up with Ghost Metallic Grey which was my 3rd choice in colors. I did get the Launch Edition model which I wanted. The cost to me after 2018 Bolt EV was evaluated was $345 bucks. 4 years newer..more options so I am pretty happy.
I love my 23 Bolt EUV
If I get a buyback, I want this car. I want Supercruise as well.
I have yet to test it but I’ve heard good things about Super Cruise!
The Bose system is very nice I have Bose in my Buick Verano Sports Touring
Good, but charge rate is measured in KW, not KWH, that is the battery capacity.
just sat in a 2022 bolt ev and was a little confused about the child sized front seats… i’m 5’10” and slim, so not a giant … the tilted forward headrest was instantly uncomfortable.. why does no one talk about these things in reviews? 🤦🏻♂️ definitely a deal breaker
This is supposed to be the cheapest EV but looks like quality car. I must be missing something
I just bought one !
Congrats, Philippe!! 🎉
A big red flag for us with the 2022 Bolt EV & EUV is the poor design of the back lighting system. The big lights up at eye level are merely running lights, which draws drivers' eyes to them and away from the functioning critical alert lights. The backup light is small & at the very bottom of the bumper! People pull up way too close and won't be able see it way down there! The brake lights are down in the bumper, as well. Are the turn signals & hazard flashers down below eye level, too!?! Those safety hazards are a deal breaker for us.
It's sad that all the battery issues has spoiled the excitement
Couldn’t agree more
Weird interior is right. Apparently there's no back seat. And, the lower cargo storage for the charge cable, not worth looking at. Also whether the cargo deck is removable. Huh. Weird.
$41,000 and NO $7,500 federal tax incentive! There crazy!!!
To be fair, the No tax incentive isn’t on GM… that’s on the Federal government. GM shouldn’t be punished for moving inventory
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville true… but like I said No $7,500 which makes the car much more expensive than other EVs out there
Like what? An equivalent ID 4 is 45k, Kona is 43k, Model Y in the 50s, Niro 45k, Ioniq 5 ~45k for a base model… you could get a Nissan Leaf for cheaper I guess but like why would you? And you slap the tax incentives on the applicable vehicles and they’re all around the same price for now… until they lose their tax incentive then the Bolt is a good bit cheaper than any of those.
It’s just a tired argument.
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville Kona and ID 4 all get a $7,500 fed tax incentives and Kona has a $3,000 if you take there financing…
@@skepticalmechanic The Bolt is a much better vehicle all-around. They're worth their retail price for what you're getting IMO. The ID4's infotainment performance alone, along with many other things moved that one out of the running quickly for me. The Kona is just meh as well.
Too expensive for me. Must be all you young people making high bucks to own one. Maybe another Life but great review.
Thank you! You may be happy to know they got a massive price cut! $6500 less, may be in your price range now
wow only 40k for a mom's suv I guess I will look for a vintage camaro 2012 instead
Kilowatt is not the same as kilowatthour
In real life the range is fake , as even Musk says keep charge between 30-80% And the charge is not 5 min. or less so is a NON-STARTER for me.
That back indicator is heavy failure utter rubbish everything so nice until they put this shit back indicator wow GM
You referring to the reverse light at the bottom?
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville read again i said INDICATOR
I saw it, just not sure what you are referring to. Or why you are yelling
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville 😂😂😂
At 40k your in Tesla territory and they have a better super charging network. Your current Bolt fires and failed resolution has damaged your reputation.
Tesla territory but you are still a ways out. You definitely get a better charging network for now… but that will change.
I don’t understand “failed resolution”
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville to date there are statements to not charge overnight, charge outside and there is someone who is out 22k because he didn't sue GM when his bolt burned down. There is a joke on Reddit that they should have named the car the inferno. Plug and pray takes on a whole new meaning. So leaving 60000 owners with a potential fire hazard is really reputation damaging even if the issue is fixed. The software fix didn't work. That's a failed result.
@@ChicagoBob123 GM's replacing the affected Bolt's battery modules. This is not something that can happen overnight, it takes a lot of coordination and supply to pull something of that scale off. It also didn't affect just the Bolt, but the Hyundai Kona EV as well. It just became known sooner with the Kona than the Bolt. If you were at the helm of GM, how would YOU have handled this after it became apparent there was a manufacturing defect in some batteries produced by LG Chem? Keep in mind there are global shortages for just about everything from the pandemic when considering your solution GM should have implemented. ;-)
@@dane9193 that's fantastic news as long as they have actual follow through. There is the guy whose bolt burned down from bad battery which they said voided his warranty so he's paying 12k for a car that's junked. 🤔 GM. Has to know internet is much faster and less kind to conpanies that made Billions last year not honoring their warranty
@@ChicagoBob123 I read that story too but that happened before GM agreed to buy back or repair every vehicle. Most likely the guy's car was included in that agreement but I agree, GM's initial attitude about his case was disgusting.
Chevy, nice job totally ripping off the Jeep Cherokee headlights.
Those are some ugly shoes
Comfortable af though
@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville LOL
But real nice legs! lol
