2027 Chevy Bolt: What Chevrolet Changed When It Brought the Bolt Back

The 2027 Chevy Bolt is the return of a name many electric car shoppers already know, and it comes back noticeably different. Chevrolet redesigned the interior, moved to a standard NACS charge port, cut DC fast charging times and, for the first time, added a sporty RS trim. If you owned an earlier Bolt or passed on one, the Chevy Bolt is back story is worth a look before you compare the details. This guide covers what Chevrolet publishes for the new model, and you can see the current electric lineup on our New Vehicles page.

Range and Charging on the 2027 Chevy Bolt

Chevrolet lists an EPA-estimated 262 miles of electric range for the new Bolt. The bigger change is how quickly it refills. With 150 kW+ public DC fast charging, Chevrolet says the Bolt charges more than 2.5 times faster than the Bolt EUV it follows. A GM-estimated 10% to 80% charge takes around 25 minutes at a DC fast charger.

The standard NACS port means the Bolt can use select Tesla Superchargers, and Chevrolet points to more than 250,000 compatible public chargers across the U.S. and Canada. One habit changes with the new battery. Chevrolet recommends regularly charging the Bolt to 100%, rather than the 80% suggested for most EVs, to keep the range display accurate and get the fastest overall fast-charging speeds. We break the numbers down further in our look at 2027 Chevy Bolt range.

Two Trims: LT and the First-Ever Bolt RS

The 2027 lineup is simple, with two versions. The LT is the versatile starting point, with 210 horsepower, an 11.3-inch touchscreen and more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. The RS includes everything on the LT and adds its own grille and RS badging, Gloss Black roof rails and 17-inch Black wheels. Inside, it gets Black Evotex seats with Red stitching and multi-color ambient lighting.

Paint choices include Habanero Orange and Marina Blue Metallic, while Relic Green Metallic is LT-only and Atomic Yellow is reserved for the RS. For a closer look at the sportier version, see our guide to the 2027 Chevy Bolt RS.

Inside the Redesigned Cabin

The interior is where the new Bolt feels most changed. A redesigned center console makes room for larger insulated tumblers, and Evotex, GM’s durable leather alternative, is standard on the RS and available on the LT. An underfloor storage compartment holds up to 4 cubic feet out of sight, handy for keeping a charging cable or valuables out of the Florida sun.

Google built-in comes with the Gemini in-vehicle assistant, and wireless phone charging is available. The available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is a notable addition, and Chevrolet calls the Bolt the most affordable vehicle to offer hands-free driving capability. HD Surround Vision is also available, and Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist and IntelliBeam headlamps are standard.

Practical Details Before You Buy

A few facts help set expectations. The Bolt comes with a tire inflator kit rather than a spare tire, and it is not rated to tow. It weighs approximately 3,800 pounds and is assembled in Fairfax, Kansas. The battery is backed by an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty.
