The Chevrolet Bolt is coming back. After disappearing from Chevy’s lineup in 2023, an updated version of the affordable hatchback-crossover is set to return for a limited production run as a 2027 model, built on General Motors’ newer Ultium battery and motor platform.

Visually, the new Bolt looks nearly identical to the outgoing Bolt EUV, but the underlying technology brings a meaningful upgrade: DC fast-charging speeds roughly two-and-a-half times quicker than the previous generation. Estimated driving range comes in at 255 miles, only a modest step up from before, but the efficient interior packaging still delivers generous cargo space for the vehicle’s size.

As with other current GM electric vehicles, the new Bolt uses a Google-powered infotainment system that does not support Apple CarPlay, a trade-off some shoppers have flagged as a downside relative to rivals. Even so, the Bolt’s return targets a price-conscious segment of the EV market that has seen relatively few new entrants recently.
