There are many myths about electric vehicles and a lot of misinformation that is spread about them. One of these myths is that electric cars don’t have the range to handle daily driving in the states. Another myth is that there is nowhere to charge an electric vehicle. You shouldn’t be afraid to purchase an electric car, like the 2022 Chevy Bolt, because these myths are just that: myths.
1. Range
The ’22 Chevy Bolt EV has an impressive range capable of up to 259 miles when on a full charge. This range means that, on a full charge, you can drive the 226 mile trip from Kaufman to Houston with no problems. Depending on weather and road conditions, you will have nearly 33 miles left on your battery before hitting absolute zero.
2. One Pedal Driving
The ’22 Chevy Bolt EV features one pedal driving technology. While you should always use your brake pedal when you need to stop immediately or in emergencies, one-pedal driving allows you to use only your accelerator on open stretches of road. The one-pedal driving technology is able to capture energy, using regenerative braking, to slow your Bolt EV.
This system is controlled using the accelerator pedal, no brake necessary, to speed up and slow down your ’22 Chevy Bolt EV. This means that you are regaining energy in small amounts even while you are spending it to drive. This system can also bring the Bolt EV to a full stop.
3. Power
The ’22 Chevy Bolt EV is not lacking in power, capable of accelerating from 0-60 miles per hour in just 6.5 seconds. The Bolt EV also delivers 266lb-ft of nearly instant electric torque, so you know this vehicle can get up and go when you want it to. Additionally, you can engage Sport Mode with just the press of a button, after which the Bolt EV delivers snappier acceleration for a more thrilling drive.
4. Easy Charging
You never need to worry about where you will charge your ’22 Chevy Bolt EV with the standard installation of a level 2 charging outlet covered by Chevrolet for eligible customers. These level 2 outlet allows more people to experience the ease of owning an EV. In addition, Chevrolet collaborates with Qmerit to give customers easy access to faster charging right at home.
Don’t worry about charging while away from home either. There are over 40,000 available charging stations across the states. Use the myChevrolet Mobile App with energy assists to keep track of your Bolt EV’s battery levels, the current driving conditions, and real-time weather to help you calculate the vehicle’s range and locate the nearest available charging stations. In addition, the ’22 Chevy Bolt EV now has DC fast charging capabilities as a standard feature.
