2027 Bolt EV pairs NACS fast charging with 262 EPA miles

Chevrolet listed LT at $27,600 and RS at $31,600 beside a $28,995 FAQ figure and limited-run copy, so buyers must expand footnotes before signing.

General Motors brought the Chevrolet Bolt EV nameplate back for model year 2027 as a compact hatchback pitched as an inexpensive battery-electric commuter, with Chevrolet's U.S. consumer site highlighting a standard North American Charging Standard port and compatibility claims for select Tesla Supercharger locations.

Because MSRP tiles, asterisked disclosures, and incentive eligibility can diverge even on a single manufacturer page, this guide sticks to figures that appeared in Chevrolet's public English HTML for the 2027 Bolt EV in May 2026 and ends with what to verify on a window sticker or dealer order.

The same marketing file also answers a frequently asked question by stating the Bolt is back for a limited time and urging shoppers to move quickly, which makes production caps and regional allocation worth asking about before you assume a build slot exists.

Figures Chevrolet published online for the 2027 Bolt EV

| Item (as Chevrolet wrote it) | Detail |

| --- | --- |

| EPA-estimated range | 262 miles (with linked range disclosure) |

| Peak DC fast charging | 150 kW or higher at compatible public stations |

| GM-estimated DC window | About 25 minutes from 10% to 80% state of charge |

| Electric drive output | 210 horsepower |

| Infotainment screen | 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen |

| Driver display | 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center |

| Charge connector | Standard NACS charge port |

| Included charging hardware | Dual Level Charger referenced beside the NACS port copy |

| Battery limited warranty | 8 years / 100,000 miles (with linked warranty disclosure) |

Chevrolet describes public DC fast charging as more than 2.5 times faster than the previous Bolt EUV in the same paragraph where it promotes the 150 kW figure, so treat that multiplier as marketing language tied to the prior generation rather than as an independently labbed ratio.

Trim walk-ups that appeared on the trim selector tiles

Chevrolet paired the LT grade with copy reading "Starting at $27,600" and paired the RS grade with "Starting at $31,600" in the trim selector portion of the 2027 Bolt EV page, each figure carrying the same generic MSRP asterisk that opens Chevrolet's standard pricing disclaimer.

A separate frequently asked question block on the same page calls the Bolt America's most affordable EV and states a starting MSRP of $28,995 with its own disclosure button, so buyers should expand every footnote and then reconcile the configurator total with the dealer worksheet.

The LT marketing list on that page cites 210 horsepower, the NACS charge port, the 11.3-inch touchscreen, the 11-inch driver display, and more than twenty standard safety and driver assistance features subject to Chevrolet's bundled safety disclosure.

Charging behaviour Chevrolet tells owners to expect

Chevrolet states that regularly charging to 100% capacity is recommended with the new battery technology if you want the fastest overall charging speeds, which differs from older nickel-rich packs where manufacturers often advised lower top-off targets for daily use.

The site also reminds owners that preconditioning cabin heat or cooling while plugged in draws shore power instead of pack energy, and it links cold-weather guidance for readers who see winter range swing.

Because Supercharger access depends on station hardware and software, Chevrolet directs users to the MyChevrolet mobile application to confirm individual charger compatibility before road-tripping on a specific corridor.

Cross-checks before you leave a deposit

Print or save the Monroney label when the car arrives so you can compare final EPA range and efficiency figures with the marketing site, since certification values are what regulators attach to the vehicle file.

Ask the dealer to itemize freight, dealer addenda, protection packages, and any mandatory technology fees separately from the trim starting price you saw online, especially while Chevrolet simultaneously shows $27,600, $31,600, and $28,995 language on one experience.

Have the service department show how the Dual Level Charger is staged for your garage circuit, confirm software version at delivery, and photograph any paint or panel gaps before accepting because limited-run production can skip the polish of high-volume lines.

Revisit Chevrolet's Bolt EV landing page immediately before signing because incentive banners, disclosure text, and even dollar amounts in modular page fragments can change without a press release.
