Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Bolt EUV.
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV (Electric Utility Vehicle) is a subcompact all-electric crossover built on General Motors' dedicated EV platform, pairing a front-mounted electric motor with a lithium-ion battery pack to deliver zero-emission transportation in a more spacious, taller body than the standard Bolt hatchback. As the first model year for the EUV variant, this generation introduced the larger footprint and elevated seating position that distinguished it within the Bolt lineup, though it shares its fundamental electric architecture with its hatchback sibling. With 23 owner complaints logged and steering listed as the most frequently cited concern, alongside four recalls issued during this model year, the 2022 Bolt EUV reflects a period of growing pains for GM's mass-market EV offensive—issues that have informed subsequent quality improvements and warranty enhancements across the brand's expanding electric portfolio.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Bolt EUV, as the debut model year, recorded just 23 complaints and four recalls alongside one investigation and 462 technical service bulletins, a profile that reflects typical first-year corrective activity. By contrast, the 2023 model year saw complaints surge to 104 while recalls and investigations dropped to zero, and TSBs fell to 364, suggesting the initial recall campaigns may have resolved early hardware issues even as owners reported more varied concerns. Steering led 2022 complaints with nine reports, followed by forward collision avoidance and electrical system entries, though the data does not specify root causes for any category. Notably, neither year logged crash or fire complaints in the federal database. The 2022 model sits at the start of the generation's recall arc, meaning its four recalls have likely been remedied on most surviving units. For a buyer prioritizing a vehicle with known recalls already addressed and a low complaint baseline, the 2022 is a sound choice provided all recall work is verified complete.
