Chevrolet has sold over 100,000 all-electric Bolts since its introduction in 2017, including 13,000 units in Canada; the little car represents quite a success story for the automaker. For 2022, in addition to upgrading the Bolt we already know, Chevrolet is adding a new variant derived from it, the Bolt EUV, for Electric Utility Vehicle.
