Know before you go
Editor's notes
The Bolt is a small car, but it’s a big deal. Nearly a decade ago, it helped prove an electric vehicle (EV) didn’t need a luxury badge or luxury-car budget to be usable every day. That matters even more now. After a hiatus brought on by battery drama and its 2023 cancellation, the Bolt returns for 2027 with the same basic mission: a compact electric hatchback with useful cargo room, easy city manners, and pricing that undercuts most of the EV market. Just a few highlights include a 262-mile range, a Tesla-style North American Charging System (NACS) port, and available hands-free driving. This revival also comes with an expiration date, as Chevrolet has already framed the Bolt as a limited-run model before the plant where it’s built moves on to other vehicles.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of electric cars, including the Chevy Bolt.
