2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV Battery Type

The lithium-ion chemistry in the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is engineered to balance energy density, longevity, and thermal performance. This battery type supports high-capacity storage—enabling the Bolt EV’s approximately 259-mile EPA range—while integrating with vehicle systems for regenerative braking and efficient charging. Routine checks of the battery management system (BMS), cooling circuits, and cell balance are critical to detect early degradation or software faults that can affect range and charge times (the Bolt EV’s typical full-charge time on Level 2 is around 10 hours depending on the charger). At Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues our certified technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to read cell voltages, state-of-health metrics, and BMS error codes. That precise testing helps determine whether maintenance, a targeted module repair, or pack replacement is appropriate—delivering savings by avoiding unnecessary replacements. Serving in Florida, our service team also advises on climate-related best practices to preserve battery life and maintains service records that protect warranty eligibility and future resale value.

2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV Battery Size

Battery size is more than a number—it directly affects daily usability, charging cadence, and long-term ownership costs for the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The Bolt EV’s high-capacity battery pack (approximately 66 kWh) provides class-leading range for city and highway driving, but capacity retention over time depends on charging habits, climate exposure, and software updates.
