Chevrolet’s most affordable all-electric car is getting a revamp, with the 2022 Bolt EV promising to be more affordable and more striking to look at. Making its debut today alongside the new 2022 Bolt EUV electric crossover, the EV hatchback will start at $31,995 including destination – and before any incentives – when it goes on sale this summer. That makes it more than $5k less than the outgoing 2021 Bolt EV, Chevrolet says, and should help take some of the sting away from the expiration of the automaker’s $7,500 federal tax incentive eligibility. Buyers will still be able to take advantage of any state or utility credits available in their area. From the outside, the differences with the outgoing Bolt EV are clear. The 2022 model gets a whole new front fascia, with a pared-back and more striking light and grille signature. The textured panel remains, though now shifted down to the lower bumper. Gone are the old headlamp clusters, replaced with what Chevy is calling “high-eye” daytime running lights that squint purposefully rather than gaping cheerfully.
