Yahoo Autos Chevrolet Will Only Sell The Updated Bolt As An EUV
Earlier this year Chevrolet announced that the strong-selling Bolt EV and EUV were going to get the ax. GM is on track to sell 70,000 of these this year, which is a pretty strong number for the tiny electric runabout. According to a report from InsideEVs, the Bolt will get a stay of execution with a major mechanical overhaul for the 2025 model year, but only the plastic-cladding-and-taller-suspension EUV model (introduced for the 2022 model year) will live on. The standard Bolt EV, introduced in 2016, will shuffle off next year.
GM CEO Mary Barra said the next-gen Bolt “will deliver an even better driving, charging, and ownership experience with a vehicle we know customers love.” The update will include a faster-charging NACS (Tesla) port, advanced Ultium battery chemistry, and updated software. This should add up to a car with better range, much quicker charging capability, and improved efficiency. The existing Bolt EUV offers 247 miles of range, but its DC fast charger can only accept electrons at a rate of 55 kW. Current NACS chargers can deliver at least 250 kW, which would be a massive step forward. The current Bolt charges from 0-80 percent in about an hour, while the next-gen car should get that number down to at least half that.
