Chevrolet is serious about embracing and championing the next generation of low and zero-emissions vehicles. The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV exemplifies this with an ideal combination of the efficiency and convenience new EV drivers desire along with a sporty style and attitude. This hatchback is surprisingly roomy, uncommonly luxurious, and seriously fun to drive. If you’re looking for a new generation electric vehicle that actually has it all, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the one for you. Here are some of the highlights from your trusted team at Highland GM!
Exterior Design
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV has undergone a redesign that asserts a sportier, sleeker, and more futuristic aesthetic on the road. Stylish 17-inch silver painted aluminium wheels sit beneath a black-gloss trimmed frame while slender LED trademark lights flank a singular textured grille. The Bolt’s dark trim provides the illusion of a downward angled nose, giving this hatchback a more assertive attitude toward the road.
Pedestrian Safety Signal
We all know electric vehicles tend to run quieter than traditional gas-powered cars. Chevrolet was quick to recognise the potential safety issue with this characteristic and added an automated external sound feature to alert pedestrians of the Bolt’s immediate proximity. This feature is automatically activated at lower speeds using a system of external sensors.
Wheels & Tires
The 2022 Bolt EV comes standard with Michelin® Energy™ Saver all-season tires featuring Selfseal® technology. Specifically designed for electric vehicles, Energy Saver tires maximise range by providing as much low-rolling resistance as possible. The Selfseal feature is exactly what it sounds like. These tires automatically self-seal using an inner layer of sealant if the tire experiences a minor puncture, preventing blowouts and giving you more time to swap the injured tire. The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV is now also available with a set of stylish 17-inch machined-face aluminium wheels featuring carbon flash painted pockets.

Interior Design
Chevrolet has fully embraced the 2022 Bolt’s sportier exterior by reflecting this new style inside the cabin with a flat-bottom steering wheel, chrome interior door handles, and available jet black cloth seat trim. A new, standard 8-inch digital gauge cluster sits perfectly angled for the driver’s convenience while intuitive pull toggles and push buttons form the new shifting system. The new, rounder shape of the cabin and drawn body panels also offer more visibility.
Creature Comforts
Spiffy looks aren’t the only new perk the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV has to offer. Chevrolet has loaded their new EV model with loads of standard comfort features traditionally seen only on more expensive, luxury-oriented vehicles. These include:
- 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar control
- Heated driver and front passenger seats
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Automatic climate control with cabin humidity sensor
Driver Information Centre
The Bolt is all about efficiency, and the redesigned Driver Information Centre dashboard is the central efficiency data node. This standard 8-inch digital, configurable graphic display offers real-time vehicle information stats for tracking battery status, driving patterns, range, and much more.

Performance
The 2022 Bolt EV offers no shortage of power while still remaining one of the most efficient EVs on the market. The front-wheel drive system is highly responsive, providing thrilling acceleration, seamless handling, and effortless manoeuvrability.
Convenient Charging
Never agonise over being able to find a charging station again. The Energy Assist feature (found through the myChevrolet app) will locate all compatible charging stations for you in real time as you travel. The 2022 Bolt EV comes standard with DC Fast Charge capability (for up to 160 km on just a 30 minute charge) and is also available with a 240-volt charging unit that can be installed in your home. The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV now also comes equipped with a dual-level charging cord that can be hooked up to both 120-volt (Level 1) and 240-volt (Level 2) outlets for even faster charging.
Regen On Demand & One-Pedal Driving Mode
The Bolt EV offers the ability to redirect energy from the electric motor into the battery using regenerative braking. The One-Pedal Driving mode amplifies this effect. Using a single paddle, the Regen On Demand feature allows the driver to choose when this whole system activates, increasing energy efficiency and the Bolt’s range by up to five percent.
Technology
Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus
Just when you thought Chevrolet couldn’t be any more generous with the standard luxury amenities and features, the 2022 Bolt EV comes standard with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system and a 10.2-inch HD colour touchscreen. This means built-in Bluetooth audio streaming for two devices, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, smartphone voice command transmission, in-vehicle apps, and more.
Location-Based Charging
Not only can you find charging stations on-the-go with the Energy Assist feature, the 2022 Bolt EV also automatically shifts into Charge Immediately mode when away from home so you can plug in anywhere at a moment’s notice. At the end of the day, your Chevrolet Bolt EV will know when you’re home and automatically shift back to its at-home charge settings. Drivers can program these settings to follow a charging schedule based on off-peak energy use times for the most cost-effective charging possible.
Safety
Chevrolet Safety Assist
Chevy’s acclaimed suite of semi-autonomous safety and driver assist features comes standard on the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The Chevrolet Safety Assist collection is designed to avoid and prevent collisions using a series of sensors to alert the driver of potential collisions and intervene with gentle braking should the driver fail to act in time. The Chevrolet Safety Assist suite includes:
- Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Follow Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam automatic high beams
Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert, & Side Blind Zone Alert
These available safety features serve as the perfect spotter for those brief seconds when your vision is compromised. Get instant audio and/or visual alerts when other vehicles you may not be able to see enter your proximity. These features aid your response time in those moments when every second counts.
What’s New for the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV?
The Bolt EV’s stylish glow-up isn’t the only new perk of the 2022 model. The dual-level charging cord (with the Level 2 charging mode) on this all-electric hatchback adds unbeatable convenience for EV drivers who may not necessarily be in a position to buy and install a home charger.
2022 Chevrolet Equinox Trim Levels
As it stands, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV is available in one trim. However, the addition of the dual-level charging cord and premium enhancements indicate exciting potential for different iterations of this revolutionary new EV from Chevrolet.
