Unlike early versions of the Bolt EV, the battery for the Bolt EUV is manufactured in the United States at LG plants in Michigan.{{Cite web|date=2021-09-20|title=Chevrolet Bolt EV Battery Production Resumes|url=https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2021/sep/0920-bolt.html|access-date=2022-01-03|website=media.gm.com|language=en}}

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV had 3 trim levels when introduced in 2022, beginning with LT, which started at $33,000. The next pricing rung was Premier at $37,500.{{Cite web |date=2021-07-20 |title=Which 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is Right for Me? |url=https://www.kbb.com/comparison/which-2022-chevrolet-bolt-euv-is-right-for-me/ |access-date=2022-04-10 |website=Kelley Blue Book |language=en-US}} Last, there was the "special, limited-production" Launch Edition at $43,495.{{cite news |title=Chevrolet Grows EV Lineup with 2022 Bolt EUV and Bolt EV: All-electric Bolt EUV is first Chevy to offer Super Cruise |url=https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/2022-bolt-euv-bolt-ev.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2021/feb/0214-boltev-bolteuv.html |access-date=11 October 2023 |work=Chevrolet Pressroom |publisher=General Motors |date=14 February 2021}}

For the 2023 model year, only the LT and Premier trims were offered, at $28,795 and $33,295, respectively. For an additional $495, either trim level could get the Redline Edition appearance package, which was also offered on several other Chevrolet models.{{cite news |last1=Lopez |first1=Jonathan |title=2023 Chevy Bolt EUV Gets Price Increase In January |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/01/2023-chevy-bolt-euv-gets-price-increase-in-january/ |access-date=11 October 2023 |work=GM Authority |publisher=Motrolix LLC |date=3 January 2023}}

Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) five-cycle test methodology, the Bolt EV fuel economy is rated at:

• {{cvt|115|mpge}} miles per gallon gasoline equivalent for combined driving
• {{cvt|125|mpge}} in city driving
• {{cvt|104|mpge}} in highway driving{{cite web | url=https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=43954 | title=2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV | access-date=August 21, 2022}}

The Bolt EUV's EPA-rated range for:

• combined driving is {{cvt|247|miles}}
• city driving is {{cvt|267|miles}}
• highway driving is {{cvt|223|miles}}{{cite web | url=https://insideevs.com/news/506966/chevrolet-bolt-euv-epa-range/ | title=Chevrolet Bolt EUV Gets 247 Miles Of EPA Range | access-date=August 21, 2022}}

The Bolt EUV can charge through the SAE J1772 connector using electric vehicle supply equipment connected to an AC power supply. A portable AC EVSE (made by Webasto) is included that can operate at Level 1 (8 or 12 amps) using the NEMA 5-15 dongle and Level 2 (32 amps) using the NEMA 14-50 dongle. A Level 1 charger supplying 120V at 8 amps adds around {{cvt|2.8|miles|km|1}} of range per hour, taking about 88 hours for a full charge. The maximum Level 1 charging rate at 12 amps, the average amperage of a North American household power outlet, adds around {{cvt|4.0|miles|km|1}} per hour, requiring approximately 62 hours for a complete charge. A Level 2 charger supplying 240V at 32 amps adds around {{cvt|29|miles|km|0}} per hour, taking about 9 hours to fully charge. The maximum Level 2 charging rate of 48 amps (11.5 kW) adds {{cvt|44|miles|km|0}} per hour, fully charging in about 6 hours.

The EUV is equipped with DC fast charging as standard, using a CCS Combo 1 plug with a maximum rate of 55 kW, and can add up to {{cvt|95|miles}} in the first 30 minutes.

The EUV has a wheelbase {{cvt|2.9|in}} longer than the Bolt EV and is {{cvt|6.3|in}} longer overall at {{cvt|169.5|in}}, increasing rear-seat legroom.{{cite news |url=https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1131710_first-drive-review-2022-chevrolet-bolt-euv-is-a-better-bolt |title=First drive review: 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is a better Bolt |author=Wong, Brian |date=March 26, 2021 |work=Green Car Reports |access-date=17 January 2023}} The EPA interior volumes are {{cvt|96.5|and|16.3|cuft|L|0}} for passenger and cargo space, respectively, which is slightly more, combined, than the Bolt EV.{{cite web |url=https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/2022-bolt-euv-bolt-ev.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2021/feb/0214-boltev-bolteuv-specifications.html |title=2022 Bolt EUV and Bolt EV Specifications |date=May 11, 2021 |publisher=Chevrolet Media |access-date=26 January 2023}} Although the cargo volume of the EUV is slightly smaller than the EV, this is due to the methodology of SAE J1100, the recommended practice used to compute volume;{{cite news |url=https://www.cars.com/articles/why-cargo-specs-can-stretch-the-truth-1420663026654/ |title=Why Cargo Specs Can Stretch the Truth |author=Mays, Kelsey |date=March 10, 2014 |work=cars.com |access-date=26 January 2023}} manufacturer testing demonstrated the EUV can hold more cargo.{{cite news |url=https://insideevs.com/reviews/491471/chevrolet-bolt-euv-first-drive-review/ |title=2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV First Drive Review: A Bigger, Better Bolt |author=Moloughney, Tom |date=March 1, 2021 |work=Inside EVs |access-date=26 January 2023 |quote=One dimension that had me curious was how the listed cargo volume of Bolt EUV was slightly less than that of the Bolt EV - it just didn't make sense. So I asked GM's Vehicle Chief Engineer of Battery Electric Vehicles, Jeremy Short, as he was one of our media-drive escorts.
{{pad|1.0em}}I could see Short's eyes roll back when I asked him how the EUV could have less cargo space than the smaller EV and he quickly answered: "it doesn't". He explained that the way the SAE requires manufacturers to measure the rear cargo space is to measure the height of that area directly above the rear axle.
{{pad|1.0em}}The Bolt EUV has a long wheelbase (2.9" longer than the Bolt EV) so the rear wheels are pushed back as far as they can be. Additionally, the rear hatch of the Bolt EUV slopes down at a greater angle than the Bolt EV does, so the roof point that is directly above the rear axle on the EUV, is not as high as the point above the axle on the EV.
{{pad|1.0em}}That made the official cargo volume calculation slightly less for EUV. However, Short explained that you can actually fit a good deal more cargo in the EUV, as they have tested it in many ways.}}

The turning circle of the Bolt EUV is {{cvt|38.3|ft}}, measured wall-to-wall.

The Super Cruise advanced driver-assistance system and a panoramic sunroof are available exclusively for the Bolt EUV; the Bolt EV lacks both options.{{cite news |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/02/2022-chevrolet-bolt-euv-featured-in-new-magic-is-electric-ad-video/ |title=2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Featured In New 'Magic Is Electric' Ad: Video |author=Finlay, David |date=February 16, 2021 |work=GM Authority |access-date=26 January 2023}} The Premier trim adds heated and ventilated front seats. Rear legroom is increased by approximately 3 inches when compared to the Bolt EV. Front headroom is slightly reduced with the sunroof.

On April 25, 2023, GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed that the Bolt and Bolt EUV would be discontinued at the end of 2023 to make room for GM's "new generation of electric vehicles."{{cite web | url=https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/chevy-bolt-ev-be-discontinued-late-2023 | title=GM to stop making Chevy Bolt EV in late 2023 | date=25 April 2023 }} On July 25, 2023, GM announced it would continue production of the Chevy Bolt and will utilize Ultium and Ultifi technologies.
