A Review of the Chevy Bolt Powertrain
Electric vehicles (EV) are potentially a disruptive technology in the automotive market. They offer the promise of increased energy efficiency and the potential for reduced emissions, depending on the primary energy source used to generate the electricity. Furthermore, since electricity generally is much cheaper than gasoline, partly due to differences in taxation, EV’s promise lower operating costs. However, one downside of lithium ion batteries is that their energy density is 100 times less than gasoline (see). Even accounting for the higher efficiency of electric vehicles we would need to increase the energy density of batteries by a factor of ~5 to achieve the same weight efficiency as a gasoline powered car.
TechInsights recently completed some analysis of parts of the Chevrolet Bolt EV. According to Consumer Reports, the 2020 Chevrolet “Bolt is the first relatively affordable EV to have a robust driving range. This small hatchback is built around a large 66-kilowatt-hour battery pack that sits under the car's floor and contributes to the car's planted feel despite its tall stance. With 200 electrified horses on tap, the Bolt accelerates with gusto. A full charge takes 10 hours on a 240-volt connector, but with a rated 417 km range, owners should rarely have to fully charge the Bolt.” Our analysis has focused on the powertrain, including the inverter and the lithium ion battery pack. In this short article, we will review some of this analysis.
