The latest edition of the Bolt combines advanced EV technology, enhanced connectivity, and competitive pricing to deliver an accessible and feature-rich electric mobility solution for a broad spectrum of drivers.
Competitive Pricing and Impressive Range
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt LT starts at $28,995, including destination fees, making it one of the most affordable long-range EVs on the market. With a GM-estimated range of 255 miles per charge, the Bolt surpasses many competitors in its price segment. Deliveries are expected to begin in early 2026 as part of a limited-run release, joining the Chevrolet Equinox EV in GM’s strategy to expand accessible electric mobility.
