The Comeback Kid: The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is Back and Better Than Ever!

Bolt fans, rejoice! The whispers are over, the news is official, and the king of affordable, everyday EVs is making a glorious return. Say hello to the all-new 2027 Chevrolet Bolt!

When the original Bolt EV and EUV took their final bow in 2023, there was a hole left in the market—a need for a well-priced, long-range electric car for the masses. GM listened, and they didn’t just bring the Bolt back; they supercharged it with crucial technology, making it the most compelling version yet.

Here’s a deep dive into the wonderful improvements that have happened since its discontinuation:

1. Goodbye Charging Anxiety, Hello Speed! (NACS & 150 kW)

This is perhaps the biggest game-changer. The Achilles’ heel of the previous Bolt was its relatively slow DC fast charging. That is officially a thing of the past!

• Tripled Charging Speed: The new Bolt boasts a peak DC fast-charging rate of 150 kW+, which is more than 2.5 times faster than the outgoing model. This translates to going from 10% to 80% charge in a claimed 26 minutes—a massive leap for road-trip viability.
• Native NACS Port: The 2027 Bolt is the first Chevrolet to come standard with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. This means you can plug in directly to the expansive and reliable Tesla Supercharger network without needing an adapter!

2. A Fresh and Modern Cockpit

While the exterior retains a familiar, popular crossover-like shape (similar to the previous Bolt EUV), the interior has been completely modernized, shaking off any lingering old-school tech.

• Larger Dual Screens: The dash is anchored by a new, large 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment screen and an 11-inch-diagonal digital driver information screen, bringing it squarely into the modern EV era.
• Google Built-in: The infotainment system now features Google built-in, integrating Google Maps (with EV-specific routing), Google Assistant voice control, and access to entertainment apps directly on the screen.
• Refined Interior & Storage: Expect a cleaner look with an open console, an all-new passenger dash storage area, and a column shifter that frees up valuable center space.

3. Smarter Tech, Greater Efficiency

The new Bolt has benefited immensely from GM’s ongoing EV development, incorporating features previously reserved for higher-end vehicles.

• Available Super Cruise: For the first time, the Bolt offers the option of Super Cruise—GM’s advanced hands-free driver assistance system—making highway driving more relaxed than ever.
• Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) Capability: The new Bolt is now equipped with bi-directional charging (V2H), meaning that with the right equipment, your car can power your home during a blackout.
• LFP Battery and Efficiency: The battery chemistry has shifted to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), which is known for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to be charged to 100% every day without long-term degradation concerns. The range remains competitive with a GM-estimated 255 miles on a full charge.

The Best Part? The Price Tag!

The original Bolt’s superpower was its value, and the new model retains that mission. With a starting MSRP expected to be around $29,990, the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is poised to once again be the most affordable long-range EV in America.

The Bolt is back by popular demand, demonstrating that the appetite for an accessible, no-compromise electric vehicle is stronger than ever. It’s the perfect commuter car, an easy road-trip partner, and a powerful statement that the EV revolution is truly for everyone.
