What transmission does a Chevy Bolt have?

The Chevy Bolt does not have a traditional transmission. It uses a single-speed automatic drive unit that delivers power directly from the motor to the wheels through a gear reduction. The power is controlled by the amount of current applied to the motor, and there is no need for multiple gears or a transmission system.
This design allows for a simpler and more efficient power delivery system in electric vehicles. The Bolt’s electric motor sends 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque exclusively to the front wheels, providing peppy response and ample low-end torque for quick acceleration.
It’s worth noting that the Bolt’s drive unit uses common fluids with other GM vehicles, including typical GM automatic transmission fluid and the same coolant as GM gas cars.
In summary, the Chevy Bolt does not have a traditional transmission but instead uses a single-speed automatic drive unit for power delivery.
