Electric vehicles are no longer a thing of the distant future. They are here, and they are not going anywhere. As their popularity rises, you may be wondering what EV is the best to buy. The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV would be a great choice. Here are some reasons the Bolt EV is an amazing choice of an electric vehicle: The 2022 Bolt EV has one-pedal driving. One pedal driving on the Bolt EV captures energy through regenerative braking, sending the energy lost from deceleration back into the battery pack for the highest total vehicle range. The driver can control it by using the accelerator to speed up and down, not the brake pedal. It can even bring the Bolt EV to a stop. Drivers can choose between a series of four modes to operate regenerative braking: Operating in Drive and easing off the accelerator Operating in Drive and using the Regen on-demand paddle on the back of the steering wheel Operating in Low and easing off the accelerator Operating in Low and using the Regen on-demand paddle in tandem Chevy has made charging easier than ever. Purchasing an EV is becoming more accessible every day. To ensure you have no difficulties transitioning to an electric vehicle, Chevrolet will cover the costs of the at-home installation of a level two charging outlet with the purchase or lease of a 2022 Bolt EV or EUV. In addition, you can track your charging using the myChevrolet mobile app. It uses vital information, such as the vehicle’s battery level, the weather, and driving conditions to calculate the Bolt’s range and to find any necessary charging stops along the way. This is perfect for the ever-changing weather conditions in Kentucky. The 2022 Bolt has all the technology you need. The 2022 Bolt EV comes standard with an 8” diagonal driver information center, which includes power and confidence gauges. The standard infotainment system has a 10.2-inch display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can opt to add built-in Alexa. On top of that, the driver-display screens show efficiency history, range impacts, and energy flows. If you are a fan of hands-free driving technology, Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is available. You do not have to compromise on safety. The 2022 Bolt is made to keep you safe, with an abundance of safety tech on each trim. An HD rear vision camera, pedestrian safety signal, teen driver technology, Signature LED daytime running lights, and StabiliTrak stability and traction control are standard on every Chevy Bolt EV. You can also add rear cross traffic alerts, rear park assists, and lane change/side blind zone alerts. The Bolt EV has all the comfort you need. The Chevy Bolt EV has all the features that you would expect in other, more expensive models.

If you’re planning to venture out of Kentucky on a road trip any time soon, the Bolt EV would be a comfortable choice in a vehicle. The Chevy Bolt EV has a wide range of features that make it a top-tier choice of an EV. A strong mix of safety and efficiency technologies make it one of the best family cars available.

Camaro better than the Mustang? We think so! If you are in the market for a tried-and-true high-performance car to drive through the city and countryside in Kentucky, you’ve likely looked at the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro. It has everything you would want in a high-performance vehicle – a powerful engine, a comfortable and sleek interior, and dependability. In addition, you’ve probably looked at the Camaro’s competitor, the Ford Mustang. This makes sense; they’ve competed since 1967. Like most rivals, both rides are similar, but some differences put the 2022 Camaro ahead of the game. Pricing When looking for a vehicle, one of the first things you consider is the price. In this case, the Camaro has an advantage. A new 2022 Camaro ranges from $26,195 to $70,195. The 2022 Mustang is more expensive, ranging from $27,205 to $72,900. But that’s not where the advantages end. The 2022 Camaro has better technology and perks. Every 2022 Camaro comes standard with connected services, including remote locking and engine start, automatic collision notification, emergency and weather-related crisis assistance, access to roadside services, and stolen-vehicle location services. You also get a Wi-Fi hotspot and Chevrolet Teen Driver settings. In addition, you get one free scheduled maintenance visit during the first 12 months of ownership. The Mustang’s connected services are not as expansive. You can remote lock and start with the FordPass app and get roadside assistance if you’re still within the warranty period. You also get a 3-month trial of a Wi-Fi hotspot. Ford does not offer free scheduled maintenance. The Camaro is powerful and fun to drive. Kelley Blue Book called the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro “wonderfully fun drive at any trim level.” This is true – the base model starts at 275-hp with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, and it goes all the way up to 650-hp with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in upper trims. It also starts at a standard 6-speed manual transmission, but there is an 8-speed or 10-speed automatic transmission you could choose instead. The Camaro is more reliable. The Camaro earned the highest rank among midsize sporty cars in the J.D. Power 2021 Vehicle Dependability Study, while the Mustang was not even among the top three. Also, the battery of the Camaro is in the trunk, increasing the battery life years by keeping it 20 to 30 degrees cooler. What’s the difference between the ZL1 1LE and the GT350R? If you are a sports car enthusiast, you’ve probably heard about the competition between the Camaro ZL1 1LE and the Mustang Shelby GT 350R for the best-ranked American-made muscle car. There are some key differences between the two that put the ZL1 1LE in first place. For starters, the ZL1 1LE’s engine is a 6.2-liter V8, capable of 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The 350R pales in comparison, only getting up to 527 horsepower from a 5.2-liter V8 engine. The engine on the Camaro comes with a standard six-speed automatic transmission, but owners can get the available 10-speed automatic transmission – unavailable on the Mustang. Because of its powerful engine, the powertrain on the ZL1 launches it from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The Mustang is slower, going from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Overall, the Camaro is just a better buy. You don’t have to sacrifice the technology you’re used to in 2022 for performance – you’ll get both and more.

It also provides steering correction to help avoid a collision with surrounding vehicles in one of your blind spot zones. Seven standard and advanced airbags (side-curtain front and rear), to help keep you safe in a crash. What are the 2022 Jeep Compass trim levels and costs?

The Selec-Terrain traction management system adjusts shift patterns, engine performance, and torque distribution, helping to control the vehicle through different driving conditions. The Hill descent control helps you to navigate steep inclines by monitoring the throttle and speed and helping you to stay focused on steering. The high air intakes and special water sealing let you cross shallow creeks and the 4x4 systems give the right wheel traction when needed.   Overall, the Jeep is a great choice for a compact crossover SUV.
