DRIVING EFFICIENTLY
The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV is a modern electric vehicle that has been expertly engineered to provide drivers with an excellent blend of performance and efficiency. Its powerful electric motor generates up to 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to achieve a maximum range of 259 miles on a single charge. The impressive range is possible thanks to its efficient 60 kW lithium-ion battery pack and innovative regenerative braking system.
Thanks to its user-friendly design and roomy interior, the Bolt EV is the perfect vehicle for both long trips and everyday city driving. Furthermore, it has a host of advanced driver assistance technologies, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and forward collision warning that ensure a safe and comfortable journey. With its maximum range of 259 miles and minimum range of about 110 miles, the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV is an ideal electric car for those that seek a reliable, practical, and convenient solution for their daily travel needs.
IMPACTS ON RANGE
A number of factors influence energy use and electric range. Keep these factors in mind while driving in order to maximize range:
Technique – Avoid rapid acceleration or braking. Higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce range.
Terrain – Varying road conditions, such as hills, rain, snow, and wind, impact range.
Climate Settings – The energy needed to warm or cool the vehicle’s cabin and propulsion battery can cause the range to decline. Turning off the Heat and A/C settings will increase efficiency.
Outside Temperature – Hotter or colder air has an effect on vehicle aerodynamics and range.
To view these factors on electric range, touch the Energy icon and then the Energy tab > Impacts on the infotainment screen.
EFFICIENCY GAUGES
The Driver Information Center displays the green efficiency ball or ring indicator, depending on the selected instrument cluster theme. While driving, try to keep the ball in the center of the gauge or the ring green. The ball will move up or down, or the ring will turn yellow, during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking.
REGEN ON DEMAND
The Chevrolet Bolt EV Regen On Demand is a feature that enables drivers to conserve energy by recapturing energy that would normally be lost as heat during braking. When activated, the feature allows the vehicle to capture up to 94% of otherwise wasted energy and store it in the battery, giving the car extra power and range. It also helps to reduce the strain on the brakes, resulting in a longer lifetime for them.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the paddle on the back of the left side of the steering wheel. While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released. The paddle can be used along with the accelerator pedal for precise regeneration control.
