Chevrolet refreshed its Bolt EV hatchback for 2022, but the vehicle’s debut has been overshadowed by a series of recalls to address a fire risk with the car’s battery pack. Production of the Bolt EV is set to resume soon, and the hatchback remains one of the most efficient EVs you can buy; it uses 28 kWh of energy per 100 miles, and its overall range is a decent 259 miles.
