Does the Chevy Bolt EUV Take Gas?

Now that the electric car revolution is finally taking off, many drivers are deciding to get in on the action. If you’re thinking about trading in your gas-powered car for an EV like the Chevy Bolt EUV, you probably have questions, like does the Chevy Bolt EUV take gas? Here Patriot Chevy of Warminster answers this question and shares some details.

One Key Item Missing from the Powertrain: An Engine

For about the last century or so, the standard component of powertrains in cars has been engines. For an engine to run, it needs gas to fuel it. Electric vehicles, however, do not have engines — they have electric motors. They run exclusively on electric power, with no gas needed.

Motor and Battery Work Together

To generate power, EVs rely on two important parts: an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. In the case of the Chevy Bolt EUV, these combine to generate 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Clearly, electric driving doesn’t mean sacrificing power.

Great Fuel Economy and Driving Range

One of the biggest reasons to buy an electric car is to vastly improve your gas mileage. The Chevy Bolt EUV offers 125 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) in the city and 104 MPGe on the highway. When its battery is fully charged, it can go up to 247 miles. You can charge it up in about seven hours with a 240-volt outlet. If you’re out and need some power, DC Fast Charging can give you up to 100 miles of driving range in about 30 minutes.
