2027 Chevrolet Bolt: What’s New, Trims, Range & Specs
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt returns with 262 miles of EPA-estimated range and a peak 150 kW DC fast charging speed, more than 2.5x faster than the previous generation. That charging upgrade means a 10% to 80% charge in roughly 25 minutes, a significant leap for daily and long-distance drivers. This page covers every change, trim, and spec, with inventory available now at Fillback Family of Dealerships in Boscobel.
What’s New for 2027
The 2027 Bolt is a ground-up return after production ended on the previous generation. Chevrolet brought it back by popular demand, and the updates go well beyond a simple refresh.
The single largest mechanical change is the charging system. Peak DC fast charging jumps to 150 kW, compared to roughly 55 kW on the outgoing Bolt EV. That translates to 10% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes at a public DC fast charger. The new 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack also supports regularly charging to 100%, which Chevrolet recommends for optimal performance and accurate range display. This is different from the advice given for most EV batteries and reflects the chemistry used here.
The charge port is now a native NACS, North American Charging Standard, port, making the 2027 Bolt compatible with Tesla Supercharger network stations without an adapter. Tesla Supercharger network compatibility
Other significant additions for 2027:
- A first-ever RS trim with sport-specific exterior and interior styling
- An 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen replacing the smaller prior-generation screen
- An 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center
- Google Built-In with Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play
- Vehicle-to-Home, V2H, bidirectional charging capability when paired with a GM Energy Home System
- Over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features
- A redesigned interior with an open center console and improved front and rear storage
The 2027 Bolt is assembled at GM’s Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, and is available for a limited production run.

- Level 1, 120V: approximately 4 miles of range per hour of charge
- Level 2 via the included Dual Level Charge Cord, 240V / 7.7 kW: approximately 27 miles of range per hour

One-Pedal Driving is standard, with Normal and High regenerative braking settings. The blended regenerative braking system prioritizes returning energy to the battery during deceleration whether or not One-Pedal Driving is engaged. The 2027 Bolt is also Vehicle-to-Home capable when paired with the GM Energy Home System.
The battery and electric drive components are covered by an 8-year / 100,000-mile limited warranty.

Who It’s For / vs the Prior Year
The 2027 Bolt is a strong fit for Wisconsin drivers who want a practical, all-electric hatchback with enough range to handle everyday driving, weekend trips, and longer hauls without charging anxiety. The 262-mile EPA-estimated range covers the distance from Boscobel to Milwaukee and back with room to spare.
Compared to the outgoing Bolt EV, the 2027 model is a more capable vehicle in nearly every measurable way: faster charging, a larger infotainment screen, native NACS port access to the Tesla Supercharger network, a completely redesigned interior, and a new RS trim. Buyers who owned or considered the previous Bolt will find the 2027 model addresses the most common criticisms, particularly around charging speed and interior technology.
The Bolt is a limited-run model, which means production is not open-ended. Buyers in the Boscobel area who are interested should check current inventory rather than waiting.
