The Bolt EUV is the first non-Cadillac to have Super Cruise. Super Cruise followed lane lines and maintained a set gap to the car ahead for long stretches without any input from humans.

If you decide to take your Bolt EUV on a long trip, it is possible that it will reduce your driving fatigue.

Pro: Unexpectedly comfy and fun to drive

The EUV does not feel like an economy car. It does a good job of soaking up bumps in the road. You can dart away from a stop light or make a quick pass on the highway if you choose to.

Pro: Solid range

The Bolt EUV can travel on a full battery, according to the EPA. It's 12 miles less than the Bolt EV, but it's still competitive with rivals like the VW ID.4 and theHyundai Kona Electric.

Con: Not as cool looking as other EVs

The Bolt EUV seems to be doing well. It's clean. New gas-powered SUVs blend in with it. The Ioniq 5, EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E are flashier than you might think.

Con: Doesn't charge all that fast

Chevrolet says that the Bolt EUV can add 95 miles of range in 30 minutes. Electric cars can charge at a rate of 100 kilowatts or more.

The Ioniq 5 can recover 200 miles of range in 18 minutes if it has a 350 kilo watt charge.

Chevrolet will pay for Bolt EUV customers to install a Level 2 charge at home, which will give them more power than a regular household outlet.

Con: Lacks "utility"

The Bolt EUV doesn't offer the same amount of utility as the Bolt EV. Extra legroom for rear passengers makes the EUV more practical.

It doesn't have all-wheel drive and its cargo area is smaller than that of the Bolt EV.
