The Chevrolet Bolt returned for the 2027 model year as the second generation of GM’s small electric car, two years after the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ended production in 2023. It is based on the outgoing Bolt EUV, on GM’s BEV II platform, and drops the EV and EUV suffixes, leaving a single car built at GM’s Fairfax plant in Kansas from January 2026. GM describes it as a limited-run model.
A single front motor makes 210 hp and 169 lb-ft (229 Nm) and drives the front wheels. The battery is a 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate pack with CATL cells, and the EPA rates the LT at 262 miles (422 km), up from the 255 miles GM estimated at launch. DC charging peaks at 150 kW, for about 26 minutes from 10 to 80 percent, through a native NACS port. Paired with a GM Energy Home System, the car can power a house during an outage (vehicle-to-home).
An 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in and adaptive cruise control are standard; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not offered, and GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is an option.
Two trims are sold in the US: the LT from $28,995 and the RS from $32,995, both including the $1,395 destination charge.
