2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV - Electric Vehicle Guide
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV belongs to a Chevrolet Bolt EV lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 2 model years, from 2022 to 2023. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion Bolt EV entirely. It is configured as front-wheel drive with an automatic (variable gear ratios). This 2022 car is the earliest model year on record for the Chevrolet Bolt EV.
The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 12 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 100 ft-lb.
