You asked, and Chevrolet listened. After a brief hiatus, one of the most popular and affordable electric vehicles in America is making its triumphant return to the Chevrolet lineup. The Bolt is back, and it’s been re-engineered from the ground up to be better than ever.
Here at Central Chevrolet, we know West Springfield and Chicopee drivers loved the Bolt for its practicality, peppy driving, and incredible value. The original Bolt EV and Bolt EUV made electric driving accessible to everyone. Now, get ready for the next generation.
We’ve gathered all the answers to the biggest questions people are searching for online about the new 2027 Chevrolet Bolt.
When is the New Chevy Bolt Coming Out?
This is the number one question on everyone’s mind! The all-new Bolt is slated to return as a 2027 model year vehicle. While that might sound far away, production is scheduled to begin in late 2025, with the first models expected to arrive at dealerships like Central Chevrolet in the first quarter of 2026.
How Much Will the New 2027 Bolt Cost?
The Bolt built its reputation on affordability, and the new model proudly continues that legacy. Chevrolet is targeting a starting MSRP that keeps it one of the most accessible EVs on the market.
- The 2027 Bolt LT (with Comfort Package) is announced to start at $29,990.
- An even more affordable base LT trim is planned to follow, with a starting price of $28,995.
This aggressive pricing, combined with potential tax incentives, makes the new Bolt a game-changer for drivers in Western Massachusetts looking to go electric without breaking the bank.
What’s New on the 2027 Bolt? (A Lot!)
This isn’t just a minor refresh; it’s a major leap forward. The new Bolt addresses the biggest requests from current owners while adding next-generation technology.
- Dramatically Faster Charging: The old Bolt’s biggest drawback is gone. The new 2027 Bolt will feature DC fast charging speeds of up to 150 kW. This means you can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in about 26 minutes—more than 2.5 times faster than the previous model.
- Native NACS (Tesla) Port: That’s right, the new Bolt will come standard with the NACS charging port, giving you direct, adapter-free access to the vast Tesla Supercharger network in addition to other public DC fast chargers.
- New LFP Battery: The Bolt will use a modern LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery. This advanced battery chemistry is known for its long-term durability and cost-effectiveness, which is key to the Bolt’s affordable price.
- Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) Capability: The new Bolt is built for the future. With available V2H bidirectional charging, your Bolt can be used (with the proper home equipment) to power your house during an outage.
- Updated Tech-Forward Interior: Inside, you’ll find a completely redesigned cabin with larger screens, including an 11.3-inch infotainment display and an 11-inch digital driver cluster.
- Available Super Cruise™: For the first time, the Bolt will be available with GM’s industry-leading Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance technology for compatible roads.
What is the Range of the New Bolt?
The 2027 Bolt is expected to have a GM-estimated range of 255 miles on a full charge. This gives you more than enough range for daily commuting around Springfield and weekend trips across New England.
Is It a Bolt EV or a Bolt EUV?
Chevrolet is simplifying the name. The new 2027 model will be based on the popular, crossover-like Bolt EUV body style (giving you that extra space and upright feel) but will officially just be called the “Bolt.”
Will the New Bolt Have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
This is an important change to note. Like other new-generation GM EVs (including the Equinox EV and Blazer EV), the 2027 Bolt will not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Instead, it will feature Google built-in. This system natively integrates Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store directly into the vehicle’s infotainment system for a seamless and connected experience.
Why is the Bolt Coming Back?
The answer is simple: by popular demand.
Customers and critics alike loved the Bolt. It was (and is) a fantastic, reliable, and affordable EV. GM recognized the massive demand for a practical, sub-$30,000 electric vehicle and is leveraging its new LFP battery technology to bring the Bolt back faster and better than anyone expected.
