Description:

The Chevrolet Bolt EV returned for the 2027 model year after a four-year hiatus, retaining its compact footprint while adopting updated GM EV hardware and software. It remains a front-wheel-drive subcompact EV focused on efficiency, urban usability, and lower ownership costs rather than high performance.

Range and Battery of the Chevrolet Bolt EV:

  • Equipped with a 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack designed for regular 100% charging.
  • EPA-estimated electric range is approximately 422 km on a full charge.
  • DC fast charging capability peaks around 150 kW, enabling 10%–80% charging in about 25–30 minutes.
  • Standard 11.5 kW AC onboard charger supports full charging in slightly over 9 hours on Level 2 charging.
  • Compatible with Tesla Superchargers using GM’s charging integration and adapter support.

Powertrain and Performance of the Chevrolet Bolt EV:

  • Single front-mounted electric motor producing 156 kW and 230 N.m, paired with front-wheel drive.
  • 0–97 km/h acceleration is approximately 7.5 seconds depending on test conditions and traction.
  • Uses a revised chassis and braking setup; reviewers noted improved braking performance compared to the previous Bolt EUV.
  • Vehicle weight is about 1,724 kg, lighter than many newer EVs, contributing to agility and efficiency.
  • Three-level regenerative braking system with selectable one-pedal driving; reviewers described the strongest regen mode as aggressive in stop-and-go traffic.

Technology and Features of the Chevrolet Bolt EV:

  • Features an 11.6-inch infotainment display and 11-inch digital instrument cluster with Google-based software.
  • Includes built-in Google Maps, battery preconditioning, charging-route planning, and OTA update capability.
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available, which several reviewers considered a drawback.
  • Available Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system includes automated lane-change capability.
  • RS trim adds ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera system, digital rearview mirror, and ambient lighting.
