Now, the Bolt is backbut as expected, it won't be sticking around for very long. And now we know just how long. According to Bloomberg, GM officials have decided to end production of the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt after just about a year and a half, in order to free up production space at its Fairfax, Kansas factory for a gas-powered Buick crossover.
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is back after a two-year hiatus, with a familiarly affordable price tag and better specs than ever. What's great for EV buyersmaybe not as much for General Motorsis that Nissan had largely the same idea. The 2026 Leaf is back with a vengeance for the trusty EV's third generation. The two models are America's cheapest new EVs, starting price at right around $30,000.
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is a massive leap over its predecessor. It comes with more driving range, adopts a Tesla-style charging port and perhaps most importantly, it finally now fast-charge at respectable speeds. That means road trips will be a whole lot less painful, and your hair won't turn gray while it's plugged in. During a media briefing with reporters on Thursday, Chevrolet shared how it improved the Bolt's charging performance.
There's a lot to be excited about in the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt. From what we know so far, it will have a Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug, a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery pack and a familiar design packed with the latest software and safety features-all for a price around or below $30,000. Like the last Bolt EV and EUV, it could be a big hit.
