- Chevy Bolt EV delivers nearly 300 miles of real-world range on a single charge for the 2027 model year, surpassing its 262-mile EPA estimate by about 30 miles.
- GM reintroduced the Bolt EV at a starting price of $28,995, positioning it as one of the most affordable long-range electric vehicles in the U.S. market.
- Chevy Bolt EV is now powered by a 65 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery, enabling improved driving range and faster charging compared to the previous model.
- GM equipped the 2027 Bolt EV with a NACS charging port, aligning with the Tesla-led standard adopted by multiple automakers for broader network access.
Why it matters: For budget-conscious EV buyers, the 2027 Bolt delivers near-300-mile range at a sub-$30,000 price—rare in today’s market—while the LFP battery and NACS port reduce charging friction and ownership costs, setting a new benchmark for affordable electrification.
