The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV May Be Chevy's Best Bargain

The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV returns after a three-year absence, bringing an LFP battery and a claimed 262 miles of EPA-estimated range, plus a NACS charge port. The Bolt’s relaunch for the 2027 model year is positioned around faster charging, with a 10–80% recharge time of about 25 minutes when using a 150-kilowatt charger, according to the article. Chevrolet says the Bolt uses lithium iron phosphate chemistry for the cathode and supports charging speeds up to 2.5 times faster than the previous Bolt. Pricing starts at $28,995. The article describes a week of driving in which the Bolt was reported to match its 262-mile EPA estimate closely, including trips from Los Angeles to the Los Padres National Forest and back. It also references Car and Driver’s 230-mile result in a 75-mph test and a reported 295.6-mile run by YouTubers using IONNA chargers, finishing with 5% remaining.
