What is the range of the Chevy Bolt EUV?

The official EPA-estimated range for the Chevy Bolt EUV is 247 miles per charge on most 2022–2024 models. This article explains what that means in real-world driving, what factors can affect it, and how it stacks up against its peers.

Official EPA rating and what it means

The Bolt EUV pairs a 65 kWh battery with front-wheel drive to deliver a single, official figure used by buyers and garages to estimate daily usage. For model years 2022 through 2024, Chevrolet has cited an EPA-estimated range of 247 miles per charge for both LT and Premier trims.

To help readers quickly reference the official numbers, the following list summarizes the key EPA-range figures and notes for recent Bolt EUV models.

EPA-estimated range: 247 miles per charge for 2022–2024 Bolt EUV (LT and Premier, FWD).

All trims share the same EPA rating; there is no separate range figure for AWD or different battery configurations in these model years.

Battery capacity: 65 kWh pack powering the vehicle through front-wheel drive; real-world range will vary with conditions.

In practice, the EPA number serves as a baseline, but drivers should expect variability based on weather, terrain, speed, and other factors.

Real-world range and influencing factors

In everyday driving, many owners report ranges that typically fall in the ballpark of 200–230 miles per charge under typical weather and highway usage. Cold weather, high speeds, aggressive acceleration, and running climate control can reduce range more noticeably. Conversely, mild temperatures, steady cruising, and efficient driving habits can push the range closer to the EPA estimate.

Tips to maximize range

To help stretch the Bolt EUV’s daily range, consider these practical steps:

Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure to minimize rolling resistance.

Use eco modes and regenerative braking to maximize energy recapture during deceleration.

Charge regularly and avoid letting the battery run down to very low levels, especially in cold weather.

These practices won’t change the official EPA rating, but they can help you approach the EPA figure in favorable conditions and with mindful driving.

Bottom line and context

The Bolt EUV offers a competitive EPA-estimated range of 247 miles per charge, suitable for city commuting and modest highway trips. Real-world range will vary with weather, driving style, and climate-control usage, so it’s wise to plan around conservative estimates in challenging conditions.

Summary

Summary: The Chevy Bolt EUV’s range is officially rated at 247 miles per charge for 2022–2024 models. In day-to-day driving, most riders can expect around 200–230 miles per charge depending on temperature and driving habits, with better ranges achievable in mild conditions and efficient driving. Regular charging and mindful energy use can help you maximize the practical range.

Why is Chevy discontinuing the Bolt EV?

Chevy discontinued the Bolt to make way for more profitable, advanced EVs on its new Ultium battery platform. The Orion plant where the Bolt was made is being retooled for electric pickups, and the Bolt's older battery technology was outdated compared to newer models, including the upcoming Equinox EV. While the Bolt was popular, GM needed to focus on its next-generation vehicles for higher profitability.
Reasons for discontinuation

Transition to Ultium platform: The Bolt used an older battery architecture that was not compatible with GM's new, more advanced Ultium platform. GM is shifting resources to this new platform for its future EVs.
Production capacity: The Orion Township, Michigan plant that built the Bolt is being retooled to produce electric versions of the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado pickups.
Profitability: While the Bolt was a top seller, it was reportedly not a very profitable vehicle. GM is prioritizing higher-end EVs, like the upcoming pickups, which are expected to be more profitable.
Outdated technology: The Bolt's battery technology was becoming obsolete, with slower charging speeds compared to newer competitors.
Brand shift: The discontinuation also marks a strategic shift for GM to focus on larger, more expensive EVs, though they still plan to offer a budget-friendly option with the future Equinox EV.

Can a Chevy Bolt charge at a Tesla station?

Yes, a Chevy Bolt can use a Tesla Supercharger with an adapter, but it depends on the type of charger. For DC fast charging, you need a special adapter (NACS to CCS) and must use the Tesla app to start the session. For AC Level 2 "destination" chargers, you may need a different adapter (NACS to J1772).

For Tesla DC Superchargers

You will need an adapter: A NACS to CCS adapter is required for the Bolt, which has a CCS port.
Use the Tesla app: You must use the Tesla app to find a compatible station, initiate and monitor the charging session, and pay for the charge.
Find compatible stations: The Tesla app will show you compatible stations. Check the station's information page to verify your vehicle's compatibility.
Not all stations are compatible: Only certain stations have been enabled for non-Tesla vehicles. Tesla also has a limited number of stations with a built-in "Magic Dock" that can charge a non-Tesla car directly.

For Tesla AC Level 2 (Destination) Chargers

You will need an adapter: A NACS to J1772 adapter is needed for these chargers.
Plug and charge: Once the adapter is connected, you can typically plug and charge without using an app.
Not all destination chargers work: Some destination chargers may not be compatible with the adapter.

Other things to know

Check your car's compatibility: Not all Chevy Bolt models are compatible with all Tesla charging networks.
Charging speed: The Chevy Bolt can charge at a maximum speed of around 50 kW at a Supercharger, which is the car's max rate.
Use the official adapter: Some third-party adapters may not be compatible with all Tesla stations. If possible, use an adapter from a trusted brand or the official adapter from GM.
