Despite its undeniable success as an affordable small EV with good range, the Bolt was dropped from Chevy’s lineup as they focused on perfecting the Ultium platform. But the Bolt had plenty of fans – with some high-ranking GM employees among them – and they spoke up about their desire for the model to return. That wish has come true in the form of the 2027 Bolt, which has been improved in some significant ways. The restyling isn’t extensive, but the interior has been made more modern and user-friendly, and the RS looks a little sportier. What Bolt buyers will really appreciate, though, is the inclusion of a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port for the first time in a Chevrolet EV, opening up a wider network of stations. Better still, the ’27 Bolt charges 250 percent faster and achieves a bit more range.
The more loaded version of the Bolt, the RS, gets most of the LT’s optional items as standard equipment, namely Evotex upholstery and heated and ventilated front seats. It also gets an eight-way power driver’s seat, a heated and wrapped steering wheel, special exterior treatments, roof rails, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a rear center armrest, and ambient interior lighting with configurable colors. Its main options consist of the Super Cruise Package, the Technology Package, and various charging accessories.
The return of the Chevrolet Bolt brings back everything drivers loved—affordability, efficiency, and everyday usability—while adding faster charging, improved range, and modern tech. With its updated design, enhanced interior, and access to an expanded charging network, the 2027 Bolt is a smart choice for drivers ready to make the switch to electric without compromise.
