2027 Chevrolet Bolt

The Bolt is back, at least for now. Chevrolet’s least-expensive electric car disappeared in 2023, but an upgraded version is set to return for a 'limited run' as a 2027 model. It looks almost identical to the former Bolt EUV, blurring the lines between a hatchback and a crossover SUV, but it now uses GM's Ultium battery and motor technology. That gives it DC fast-charging speeds that are 2.5 times faster than the old Bolt, although its 255-mile estimated driving range isn’t much of an improvement. An efficiently packaged interior has lots of cargo space for a vehicle this size. Like all GM EVs, it has a Google-powered infotainment system that isn’t compatible with Apple CarPlay, but we're happy to see buttons and knobs for climate control and audio. It goes on sale on early 2026.
