Comparing Two Great Affordable Electric Vehicles
![Bolt EV vs EUV Hero](https://media.assets.ansira.net/websites/content/gmps-ppchev/about_messages/4cbb88fca63c465ebba5d71fe33b1897_1600x500.jpg)
Why Buy a Bolt
Same but Different
Performance and Range
The Bolt EV offers more power and agility due to its slightly lighter weight of 3,589 pounds compared to the EUV's 3,679 pounds. The weight difference also translates into a minor difference in 0-60 acceleration times with the EV clocking in at a peppy 6.5 seconds and the EUV at a still respectable 7.0 seconds.
Largely due to the slight weight difference, the EV has a longer range than the EUV. The Bolt EV has an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles, while the Bolt EUV has an EPA-estimated range of 247 miles. Both models support Level 1, 2, and 3 charging connections and can gain approximately four miles of range per hour of charging at 120 volts and can fully charge in about seven and a half hours at 240 volts. However, when utilizing DC fast charging, the Bolt EV offers slightly better performance, gaining 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes, while the EUV achieves 95 percent of that figure.

Overall Size and Storage space
Surprisingly, the Bolt EV offers more cargo space than the Bolt EUV despite its smaller size. The Bolt EV provides 16.6 cubic feet of space behind the second row, which can expand to 57 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. In comparison, the Bolt EUV offers 16.3 cubic feet of space behind the second row and 56.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The Bolt EUV's sloping roofline accounts for the slight reduction in storage capacity.
Interior and Infotainment
In terms of exterior design, the Bolt EV and the Bolt EUV have distinct styling elements. The Bolt EV has a closed-off front end and a signature black accent, while the Bolt EUV features a slightly open front end and a more upright rear hatch and nose. The taillights and rear bumpers also differ between the two models. The Bolt EUV's design is more reminiscent of a crossover, while the Bolt EV embraces its hatchback identity.
