In recent years, the automotive industry has seen a major shift toward electric mobility, driven by growing environmental awareness, rising fuel costs, and advancements in battery technology. Consumers are increasingly looking for vehicles that offer both efficiency and sustainability without sacrificing comfort or performance.
Chevrolet has been one of the early pioneers in the electric vehicle (EV) space with the introduction of the original Bolt EV. The Bolt EUV (Electric Utility Vehicle) blends the practicality of a small SUV with the efficiency of an all-electric powertrain.
Sleek and Functional Design
The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV stands out with a modern, sculpted exterior that strikes a balance between sporty and practical. While it shares much of its DNA with the Bolt EV, the EUV (Electric Utility Vehicle) is slightly longer and taller, giving it a more SUV-like presence on the road. With a bold front grille design, sleek LED headlights, and sharp body lines, the Bolt EUV feels contemporary and clean — a reflection of its forward-thinking electric identity.
Chevrolet has prioritized both aesthetics and functionality. The available two-tone roof option adds an extra dash of personality for drivers who want to stand out. The interior design emphasizes simplicity and usability, with a clean dashboard layout and high-quality materials. Soft-touch surfaces, ambient lighting, and available leather upholstery elevate the cabin’s feel. At the center of the dash is a large 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, paired with physical buttons for frequently used functions — a practical design choice that improves ease of use while driving.
Chevrolet also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, along with multiple USB ports and available wireless charging.
Performance and Driving Experience
The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV may be compact, but it delivers a surprisingly spirited and refined driving experience. Powered by a single electric motor that produces 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, the Bolt EUV offers instant acceleration and smooth, quiet operation — a signature advantage of electric drivetrains.
From a standstill, the Bolt EUV feels peppy and responsive, making it ideal for urban driving and quick merges on the highway. Thanks to its low center of gravity, courtesy of the underfloor battery pack, it handles corners with confidence and remains composed even on twisty roads. The steering is light and easy, which adds to its city-friendly nature, while regenerative braking — especially in One-Pedal Driving mode — allows for a more controlled and efficient ride. This feature lets drivers slow down and even come to a complete stop just by lifting off the accelerator, reducing the need to use the brake pedal and helping to extend battery life.
This makes it more than capable for daily commutes, weekend getaways, or even moderate road trips without range anxiety. While it’s not an all-wheel-drive SUV, the Bolt EUV is engineered for front-wheel-drive stability and performs well in most driving conditions — though those in snowy climates may want to pair it with quality winter tires.

Charging and Efficiency
One of the key considerations when choosing an electric vehicle is how convenient and flexible it is to keep charged — and the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV makes this process as user-friendly as possible.
This cord supports both Level 1 (120V) and Level 2 (240V) charging, meaning you can plug into a standard household outlet or a faster home charging station without needing to buy additional equipment.
- Level 2 (240V): At home or at public stations, you can expect around 25-37 miles of range per hour, with a full charge taking about 7 hours — perfect for overnight charging.
- This is ideal for road trips or quick top-ups while shopping or grabbing a meal.
When it comes to efficiency, the Bolt EUV shines. Its MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) rating comes in at 115 combined MPGe (125 city / 104 highway), placing it among the more efficient EVs in its class.
Advanced Technology and Safety
Designed for modern drivers, it offers a smart suite of features that enhance both convenience and peace of mind.
Infotainment and Connectivity
It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, allowing drivers to connect their smartphones without a cord. The Bolt EUV also offers available wireless phone charging, built-in Amazon Alexa, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, turning the car into a connected mobile hub. Voice controls are responsive and useful for minimizing distraction while driving. For audiophiles, an optional premium Bose sound system is available, delivering a rich and immersive listening experience.
Super Cruise: Hands-Free Driving
Super Cruise makes long highway drives far more relaxing and represents a major step forward in everyday driving technology.
Standard and Available Safety Features
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- IntelliBeam® Automatic High Beams
For added safety and convenience, higher trims and packages offer advanced options like:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- HD Surround Vision (360-degree camera)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Rear Park Assist
With these features, the Bolt EUV provides comprehensive protection for drivers and passengers, as well as extra confidence in busy traffic, tight parking lots, and long road trips.

Price and Incentives
With the increasing popularity of electric cars, the Bolt EUV provides a compelling option for those looking for an eco-friendly ride that doesn’t break the bank.
Pricing Overview
The 2023 Bolt EUV is available in two trims: LT and Premier, each offering different features suited to varying preferences and needs.
For this higher price, the Premier trim adds a variety of upgrades such as leather-appointed seating, HD Surround Vision, and advanced technologies like the available Super Cruise, which allows for hands-free driving on compatible highways.
Federal Tax Credit Eligibility
federal EV incentives program. This change coincides with the model's discontinuation and the depletion of available new inventory.
Additional Incentives
While the federal tax credit is no longer available for new Bolt EUV models, Chevrolet and participating dealerships continue to offer various regional and dealer-specific incentives to make the vehicle more accessible. Here are some of the incentives that might be available:
- For qualified buyers, this incentive can result in a $500 discount, helping make the Bolt EUV more affordable to those who serve their communities in high-pressure roles.
- Military Discount: Active-duty military personnel, reservists, and veterans may also qualify for a $500 discount on a new Bolt EUV. This is a special incentive to thank those who serve in the armed forces.
Used Vehicle Tax Credit
For those interested in purchasing a pre-owned Chevrolet Bolt EUV, there's an additional incentive to consider. The car must meet certain conditions, including being purchased through a dealer and priced under $25,000.
This program is designed to make electric vehicles more accessible to a broader range of buyers, and it’s a great option for those who want to enjoy the benefits of electric driving at a lower upfront cost.
Pros and Cons
The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV has been widely praised for offering great value in the electric vehicle market, especially for those seeking practicality, efficiency, and modern features without the premium EV price tag.
Pros
Affordable Price Point
The Bolt EUV is one of the most budget-friendly electric crossovers available. Even before incentives, it undercuts many of its rivals in terms of pricing, making it an accessible option for first-time EV buyers.
Advanced Tech Features
The Bolt EUV comes loaded with modern tech, including a large 10.2-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and available Super Cruise—a semi-autonomous driving system for hands-free highway cruising.
Cons
Limited Fast Charging Speed
While the Bolt EUV does support DC fast charging, it's not as fast as some newer EVs. Adding about 95 miles in 30 minutes is decent, but it lags behind rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6 in charging performance.
Discontinued After 2023
This could affect future support and availability of parts and updates, and may raise questions for those looking for long-term ownership.
