Here in Memphis and in many other cities across the nation, “Backing those in blue” means that we are thankful for the men and women who patrol the streets and help keep our city safe. As policing has changed over the years, so has the technology behind the vehicles. The 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV and Bolt EV both offer completely emissions-free driving and a frame that enables them to squeeze into tight spots, making them ideal for urban fleet use.
Both of these all-electric Chevy models are now equipped with police packages for law enforcement fleet duties and include two additional circuits for equipment such as radios and pursuit lights. There is also a Surveillance Mode calibration that quickly shuts off the interior and exterior lights. The Bolt EUV and EV are ready to keep neighborhoods safe, with standard safety features that include Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Intellibeam, and Following Distance Indicator.
All of us here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis have watched our fair share of “pursuit and patrol” videos, and it comes as no surprise that this SSV Package also comes with 16-inch steel wheels wrapped in durable and ready-for-anything all-season tires, and an 8-way power driver seat. A drastic reduction in fleet maintenance and fuel costs is going to be a huge bonus. On a full charge and ready to put the bad guys permanently out of business, each of these vehicles averages about 250 miles of range.
The power supply in the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is a 288-cell lithium-ion battery pack rated at 65 kWh, which puts out 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. The DC Fast Charge is incredibly efficient, as it will net 95 miles of driving with just a 30-minute charge. After logging a high number of miles in both of these models during 2020, consumers were ready to tell us what they thought needed a bit of improvement, and we were earnestly listening! Taking great strides to assure that drivers’ legs and back are sufficiently supported for the distance, the 2022 models boast re-worked seats that assure you stay comfortable on up to the very last mile marker of your journey.
The Car And Driver staff agreed it was inevitable that the Chevy Bolt electric hatchback would eventually spawn a more SUV-like model in the form of the 2022 Bolt EUV, which takes things a step further with a noticeable change in styling. The rear seat of the EUV is now accommodating enough to allow adults ample space, and both vehicles finish at about 16/5 cubic feet of valuable cargo space. Making police on the force safer, more productive, and easily mobile always benefits the community, and this savvy pair is sure to be as capable as any K9 hot on the trail!
