2027 Chevrolet Bolt Review: RIP to the GOAT of low-cost electric motoring
Chevrolet has brought back the Bolt as the cheapest electric car on the US market, with a starting price of $28,995 including destination fees. The review describes it as a practical, no-frills option and a strong value, making its planned end within a few months especially disappointing.
The 2027 model has a new 65-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery, with an EPA-estimated range of 262 miles in the tested LT trim. Its front-wheel-drive motor produces 210 horsepower, and a NACS charging port provides access to Tesla Superchargers. The hatchback offers up to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo space, though the basic interior uses hard plastics and the article says the Bolt’s earlier battery problems led to a costly recall and production pause.
In short
- The 2027 Bolt starts at $28,995, the lowest EV price in the US.
- Its new battery delivers an estimated 262 miles of range.
- Chevrolet plans to end production again within months.
