General Motors has announced the return of the Chevrolet Bolt for the 2027 model year, bringing significant improvements to what was already America’s most affordable long-range electric vehicle.
The new Bolt combines updated Ultium technology with the proven formula that made its predecessor one of the industry’s most popular electric vehicles.
The 2027 Bolt will begin production in late 2025 at GM’s Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, with customer deliveries starting in early 2026.
The new Bolt utilizes a 65-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, sourced temporarily from an overseas manufacturer while GM develops domestic production capabilities with LG Energy Solution.
The 2027 Bolt marks a significant charging improvement, supporting DC fast charging speeds of 150 kW or higher—more than 2.5 times faster than the previous generation’s 55 kW maximum.
The 2027 Bolt maintains virtually identical dimensions to the previous Bolt EUV, with passenger volume of 96.6 cubic feet and cargo space of 56.3 cubic feet with rear seats folded.
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt will launch with the LT trim at $29,990, including the $1,395 destination freight charge. Later in the model year, a base LT model will become available at $28,995, including destination charges.
