The all-new Chevrolet Bolt EUV hits the track at Yas Circuit, in collaboration with EV Lab

MIDDLE EAST – The all-new 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV hit the track at Yas Circuit, turning heads with its sleek good looks and changing the outlook on going electric with its fun-to-drive features. Organized by EV Lab, the event introduced the community to electric vehicle technology through a hands-on driving experience and a showcase of the latest and greatest in clean and innovative automotive technologies.

Chevrolet and Bin Hamoodah Auto, Chevrolet’s official dealer partner in Abu Dhabi, sent two Bolt EUVs to the event, to encourage discovery and satisfy curiosity. With a vehicle in the display case, guests got up close to the vehicle, exploring the sleek exterior and spacious interior, guided by EV Lab experts. Attendees drove the second vehicle onto the track to experience fun-to-drive features of the Bolt EUV, such as One Pedal Driving2, which allows the driver to speed up, slow down or come to a complete stop with just one pedal and Regen on Demand, which converts kinetic energy into stored battery energy by simply pulling a steering wheel-mounted paddle. Completely unique to electric driving, these features delight new EV drivers and set the Chevrolet Bolt EUV apart as a game changer in the region.

“We found that nothing convinces a driver to go electric quite like getting behind the wheel and going for a spin, so that’s exactly what we did. Working with key partners like EV Lab is essential to familiarize and engage people with the next wave of mobility,” said Sharon Nishi, director of marketing, GM Africa and Middle East. “The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is an exceptional vehicle, directly addressing common concerns about the transition to electric with its long-range battery, wrapped in a dynamic and sporty SUV body. This is a game-changer by democratizing electric vehicles and providing a viable, everyday option for drivers in the region. »

“We are always looking for new ways to deliver exciting Chevrolet-powered experiences to our Abu Dhabi customers. The Bolt EUV is a vehicle that stands out, and through this partnership with EV Lab, we were able to put customers behind the wheel to experience it for themselves and convince even the most passionate people that electric driving is fun and viable. for daily trips. We look forward to working more closely with important partners, in order to continue to provide exceptional service to our customers in Abu Dhabi,” said Ayman Al Bijawi, Director of Sales and Marketing – Bin Hamoodah Auto.

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV takes what people loved about the Chevrolet Bolt EV and repackages it into an SUV body, opening up more space for passengers and cargo in a region defined by its love for larger vehicles, bolder and better. Offering 547 km of pure electric range1 on a full charge, the Bolt EUV needs to be recharged about as often as a gasoline-powered car needs to be refueled, making it the ideal electric vehicle for all types of lifestyles.

EV Lab is the first platform in the region to exclusively promote all-electric vehicles, with the aim of fostering the transition from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles, also offering a selection of some of the best EV products available on the rental market. EV Lab hosted an event at Yas Circuit, showcasing a lineup of star-studded electric vehicles to give curious drivers the chance to get behind the wheel and experience a whole new way of driving.

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV will be available across the region later this year. For more information, please visit Chevrolet Arabia.
