The 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV Is an Electric Hatchback With Good Tech 

Doug is 6’3” or 6’4”, depending on the humidity and if congress is in session or not. Kind of quirky.

Only Doug can make me excited about a small chevy hatchback

It seems like Doug just enjoys saying “Bolt EUV” over and over again

“EE yOOu vee”

Last time I was this early, Doug was still bouncing in a Maybach.

every time I watch Doug's video I checked if I accidently set the video speed to higher than normal and realized that it's in normal speed.

"You only have one setting, on or off." (Bob Newhart voice) That... that's two settings.

The reason the lights have the Chevy logo is so that aftermarket companies can’t knock them off for insurance repairs.

If a loaf of bread went to high school with a bunch of blueberries, this is how it would dress to fit in.

Hey Doug, here are a few things you should consider when reviewing evs: -Does it have a heat pump? This can really make the difference in cold weather range and performance -Level 3 charge ability/speed. Most new evs will have level 3 ability but the speed at which they charge can vary greatly. For example, the Bolts can do about 50kwh max while the Kona can do around 70kwh, and the rates seem to be increasing with newer models all the time. This can have a big impact on how long you need to charge on a road trip. -Battery cooling. Regulating battery temperature is one of the most important things in maintaining battery health. Almost all evs use liquid cooling...except the Leaf. Do not buy a Leaf. I just bought a 2020 Bolt and had to look into all these things before deciding to buy it. I really like it so far even though there are better things on the market now. Anyway I'm sure you won't read ths ridiculously long comment but love the videos!

I think it’s really cool that this is becoming the “baseline” as far as being a decent “car” - you get all the benefits of an EV at a very reasonable price. Really great!

2017 Bolt is the best car I've ever owned. I bought it used and just passed 100k miles and I'm about to get a new battery through the recall with another 100k mile warranty.

I took a shot every time you said EUV. So now I cannot function and on the floor. I will never forget the Chevy Bolt EUV.

The outer design is the kind of "yeah, that's good enough. Now I am off to the pub" look.

As a current Bolt EV owner I think Doug really hits the nail on the head w this review. Very accurate review of the car.

I love how it doesn't have a giant overly expensive touchscreen in the middle of interior

I just want to say, I hate the stupid bumper taillight trend, there's been more than one occasion where I didn't notice someone stopping or signalling because their taillights aren't really the taillights, they're in the bumper.

Doug is the type of the guy to say "look mom no hands" while using super cruise

This car is so much cooler than I thought it would be

EUV... EUV... EUV... EUV... EUV.

the brake light situation is the stupidest design. just put them where they normally go so other drivers can actually seen them!

Its super cool that Chevy is pushing actually affordable EVs. We are definitely at the tipping point for EVs.

Great review Doug. I own a 2017 Bolt EV which has been a great car. I actually think this EUV is better looking than the EV model, but that is a matter of preference. Seems like a great value and believe this will be a terrific vehicle for Chevrolet. The two things Chevrolet needs to add is all wheel drive option, and a faster charging system. I do think you scored it a little low for fun factor however as I find it very fun to drive and it has better acceleration than most gas cars. Thanks again!

I rented a Bolt EV and absolutely loved it.

Everybody gangsta until Doug says 'And today I am going to steal it'

That grille looks like one of those hot wheels that you could "wreck" by flipping the door around - anyone else remember those?

Doug in 2017 said the Bolt was “actually really quick” and “hauls” now he says its “it feels fine, not quick”. have you been hanging around teslas too much? dude 0-60 is still mid 6 secs and idk about you but thats pretty damn quick for a family commuter. are you trying to drag race Vin Diesel?

Dough is type of guy who charges himself for CarsandBids mention at the beginning

CANT WAIT FOR THE CADILLAC COUPE VERSION OF THIS -said no one

If you’re excited about the bolt, the 2021 and 2020 models were extensively discounted. I purchased one for less than $20k out the door

My husband just purchased a new bolt. He is absolutely in love with the car. No issues with wanting for range. Great practicality. He loves his bolt. I got a blazer on the same day. The blazer will be used for cargo and very long distance trips. The bolt is the daily driver.

Your car review videos are so well done. Not a second was wasted. Thank you.

Chevrolet: puts brake lights where they can't be seen in bumper-to-bumper traffic. "That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them"

When to expect GEO Metro video. We’re all waiting for it.

Thanks Doug! I drove up to pick up my son at school with my new bolt EUV and presented it to him how you did! I screamed out to him, “this is the Chevrolet Bolt EUV! We had a good laugh! I just picked up my Bolt EUV premier in Mosiac Black with a Black/Blue interior pleather, it was 38,500 MSRP, Rotolo Chevrolet in Fontana, California sold it to me for MSRP. Surprisingly, they didn’t nag me about any all of the unneeded extras such as ceramic coating, extended warranties, or any other crap add-ons. So far, I have 12K in rebates/GM discounts and I am still looking for more cash back. I ended up getting my car for net 26,500 + tax/fees, I’m happy. It can be done for a good price, it took me about a month and a half to wait for the car, etc., and I think it’s going to be worth it in the long run. I hated the idea of spending upwards of $60,000 on an way overpriced Tesla (so Elon can, “Occupy Mars”, I think that’s so foolish when we have so many more pressing issues down on earth, but I digress) that was still just going to get me from A to B, it seems like such a waste of money to be so “high-tech”.

I own a 2020 EV premiere. Most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Recall aside it’s a wonderful value. Cost me $14.60 to drive 623 miles over 8 days of commuting. Charging at home.

The features offered at the price point is mind boggling. Damn that's some competitive tech!

Drinking game: drink whenever Doug says "EUV" ... Drunk after 3 minutes

dougs the type of guy who you want to first punch when you hear his voice but then ending up watching all his videos and subscribe. xDDD

That regen paddle is neat. I use the paddles in my car mainly to downshift when coasting to a light which functions basically the same way.

Just here to say that even though I am completely uninterested in this car, it's always great when you review 'normal' cars for us plebeians.

The best thing about this vehicle is that it looks like a regular vehicle. It doesn't have crazy styling that screams "IM DIFFERENT IM ELECTRIC".

For April Fools Day next year, you should do a silent B&W review of the “new” 1922 Model T with intertitles for your dialogue

I get my Bolt EUV today and this video was so helpful! Thank you :)

AI think it's spooky how this car will watch me and know how often I pick my nose when I think no one is looking.

I like how they Incorporated new and conventional controls, like buttons for everything you use a lot, and still a great infotainment system. I may be in the minority, but I like the fact that it does not have a power tailgate, because it means I can close it quickly and get out of the rain. As a car enthusiast having physical controls for things like the tailgate and having a large traction control off button, makes me feel like I am controlling the car to do what I want, not riding in the car and doing what it wants.

Doug failed to mention the 55kW DC fast charging speed, same as the original Bolt EV in 2017, which I own. Many in the Bolt community were hoping this refresh would get faster recharging.

first gen Bolt was pretty good, and it seems as though GM has done a good job updating it. glad to see other companies are stepping in and making EVs

"It felt a little slower" "The acceleration is good"

Nurse: Doug, would you like to see your newborn baby? Doug: Sure, but first let me tell you about my new site, cars and bids.

It’s remarkable how rapidly cars keep getting fancier and more feature-rich, including the cheap and cheerful models

Good review. I have a 2020 Bolt and have ordered the '23 EUV Premier Redline. Going to see if I can be as efficient in the EUV as I am in the regular Bolt (I regularly see over 300 miles of actual range at 65 mph on road trips, and love having fun with the go pedal around town). You're right it's not exciting, but it is a reasonably fun little hatchback that does it's job for not a lot of money. Speaking of which, the base price for the '23 EUVs is now $27k, with my top of the line loaded example coming in at 35k. Definitely a good value in this market.

I don't know why they had to tie it into the Bolt, they could have called it the frickin Jolt or something.

Another quality video from daddy Dougie fresh.

For anyone interested, the super cruise is a $2,200 upgrade and only available on the premier and above trim levels (which start at $38,500).

I really appreciate that the numbers are displayed in the metric system!

The chevy bolt has been the single most underrated vehicle periodt

Doug's a true Jay Leno fan. Just yesterday, Jay put up a 1916 Owen Magnetic video where he referenced that to be the Chevy Bolt of that century and here we have Doug with this video!

I do like that they have the traction control so readily available to hit. On my Chevy Spark EV, turning traction control off made the car a lot more fun, but it also increased my efficiency substantially

I wish they hadn't discontinued the Volt and made an all-electric version of that car instead of the Bolt. I've always thought the first-gen Volt looked way better then any of these Bolt models.

Marketing: Shiny black plastic becomes “piano black”

Thought ballon over my head while motorized hatch is closing or opening: “why am I watching a motor open and close a hatch, when it used to take .5 seconds to do it “manually?”

This has got to be the most normal and modest review he has done so far.

2:04 doug said sus

“At this price point” It’s still a $44k car if you want the super cruise, sun roof, etc. I guess that’s on the lower end as far as EVs go.. but there’s still a huge price premium here over cars powered by dino juice.

I think that GM is actually kinda getting the EV Market demographics. Well done them! This is definitely a contender. Thanks for the video.

Doug is the coolest car reviewer on RU-vid! All hail Doug Demuro!

Excellent video, ordering the 2023 based on this info. Thanks

If I ever an riding a Bolt EUV I am making sure that my cup goes in the chosen cup holder. 🤣

10:33 mustang on the right side: rolling shutter effect! That's so cool!

Really appreciate Doug flashing the range in kilometers on the screen every time he mentions it

Anybody else feel like Doug is just going through the motions?

if doug was a criminal he'd be like: THISS is a 357 magnum with hollow points

10:34 Mustang driving down the road with locked up wheels. (I know it's the refresh rate of the camera matching the wheel rotation speed).

Very informative video!!! It was humorous to watch you use 4 fingers to press traction control!! 😆

Doug is always so animated lol 😂

My car salesman watched one of Doug's videos and used his review to get me to buy a new car.

The fact that I'm genuinely looking forward to buying a used Chevy EV in the future is just... a weird feeling

We used to pay extra to have plastic bodywork taken off, now we're paying extra to have them put back on

Doug's rapid-talk delivery, fine speech and enunciation has reached an all-time high! I'm guessing he practices in his sleep at night to be this good...

Best thing about this car: It’s got proper buttons, switches and dials, which you can feel and operate while driving without taking your eye or attention off the road, unlike those touchscreens (fun fact: manufacturers install them because they are cheaper than proper switches), which are, quite frankly, downright dangerous to operate on the road.

You stay with cars, keep up the good work, I love it.

it's nice to see metric measurements here in this video which many american car reviewers don't include in their videos. I appreciate that

I was looking forward to Doug driving this. Being 6'4" also, I was so disappointed when the original Bolt came out, as I cannot even fit. Nice to see Doug able to drive this.

Cheap interior plastic > piano black plastic. This is a hill I’m willing to die on

Maybe he'll review the Volt next I've always liked how that car looked

I appreciate this, thank you Doug

Every time he says euv take a shot. Anyway love the energy!!

WHY is this STILL not available in Europe?! Chevy, I'm literally begging you, bring your European division back to life! This is simply a dream commuter for us! I'm tired of importing your amazing stuff myself.

"you'll have to *MANUALLY* change lanes" *Laughs hysterically in 1958 Chevy Impala*

I liked that you covered more of the details, I’ve bought it but have never seen one

New drinking game. Take a shot every time Doug days EUV

Idk what’s going on with American Companies Rn but the cars coming out are actually really nice. From the F-150 Powerboost to this. It’s cool.

As a Tesla owner you’re probably the only car analyst who could get me to sit through an entire 24 minute video on a Chevy Bolt.

Hello Doug, I drive an 05 Saturn Vue (yes, a Saturn), and I was wondering what the visibility and height difference is between the Bolt and the Bolt EUV? The reason I bought the Vue besides the safety and space, was also how well I could see. What are the height differences between these vehicles? Thank you for your work in this video.

The hell? This thing is more loaded than my 17 Accord. Amazing,

Doug, I think you forgot to mention one more time that this is the Bolt EUV, which stands for Electric Utility Vehicle and that it is larger than the regular Bolt hatchback.

2021 Doug to 2016 Doug: “You’re going to do a 24-minute video on a new Chevy crossover EV, and you’ll give it a generally favorable review.” 2016 Doug: *laughs maniacally* and says, “That’ll NEVER happen!!”

Loved this video! More like this, please :)

I am 90% sure I will get this car in the next couple months. Thanks for the review! Has helped me decide! Now to get my butt in one and see how it feels!
