Motor 1.com Releases Potential Chevy Bolt-Based Electric Crossover Rendering

Last November, all of us here at West Chevy of Knoxville were paying grave attention when the brand we are so proud to represent every day made a massive announcement regarding the future. A detailed restructuring was then being implemented, with a large number of resources being poured into the rolling out of autonomous and electric vehicles. During April, a trademark filing for “Bolt EUV” was brought to light, providing a hint at Chevy's next electric vehicle that could be based on the Bolt. Details at this point are a bit slim, but the renderings found here provide a few hints at what it could appear like.

The shape of the greenhouse seen here is pretty identical to the one found on the real-world Bolt, but the rest of it takes a few additions to the accent category that are like a Blazer, or even distant cousin of the Camaro. The wide lower front fascia and thin headlights are elements that contribute to this sportier vibe. All-electric vehicles are currently slated to be produced at the Orion, Michigan factory, which received a $300 million investment from the automaker. During the announcement, it was also stated that the next EV will wear the Chevy emblem while riding on an improved version of the platform that is under the Chevy Bolt.

This larger size for the Bolt EUV would be sensible because it is still quite evident that crossovers are one of the most popular choices for consumers when the sales numbers turn out. As we look ahead to the future and factor in the recent news we have all seen regarding the health of our ozone and Earth, our electric vehicle plans as a brand are quite ambitious and proud. We strive to have 20 new EV's by 2023, and the introduction of a very attractive and edge bolt EUV such as this will convince some to make the switch. We understand the attraction to going about driving and manufacturing the way it always has been done: some traditions have etched their way into our everyday habits immensely.

While contemplating this barrage of new technology and the driving habits that will soon become very different across the nation, it's at least pretty awesome to realize that the eCopo Camaro wowed onlookers at SEM with its 700-horsepower electric motors, and the capability to bang out nine-second quarter-mile times. This year's Bolt has the capability to run up to 238 miles of electric range on a full charge and provides 25 miles per hour of charge by means of the 240-volt 32-amp charging unit. You can download charging apps on your smartphone to see just where charging stations are along the way. We'll keep you informed here on the blog with any updates regarding this and other vehicle's development, and the inevitable and Eco-conscious wave of change that is sweeping the auto industry as a whole!
