Chevrolet Bolt EV technical specifications revealed

Chevy has set a new precedent for affordable, long-range EV driving and performance with the new 2017 Bolt EV.
Revealed at the ongoing Detroit Motor Show, the Bolt EV’s engineers developed its propulsion system to offer more than an estimated 320km and a driving experience that’s more akin to a compact sports sedan than a small utilitarian crossover.
“Being the leader in range and affordability means nothing if the car isn’t going to excite you each time you get behind the wheel,” said Josh Tavel, Chief Engineer, Chevrolet Bolt EV. “That’s why the team was tasked with delivering a propulsion system that would also make the Bolt EV an electric vehicle that owners would love to drive.”
Power delivery is controlled by Chevrolet’s first Electronic Precision Shift system. This shift and park-by-wire system sends electronic signals to the Bolt EV’s drive unit to manage precise feel and delivery of power and torque, based on drive mode selection and accelerator inputs. A by-wire shifter requires less packaging space than a traditional mechanical shifter, resulting in more interior space and improved interior layout.
The battery system is mated to a standard equipment 7.2kW onboard charger for regular overnight charging from a 240-V wall box. A typical commute of 80km can be recharged in less than two hours. The Bolt EV also features an optional DC Fast Charging system using the industry standard SAE Combo connector. Using DC Fast Charging, the Bolt EV battery can be charged up to 145km of range in 30 minutes.
