The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt at Riverside Chevrolet: Range, Price, and Charging

Chevrolet’s affordable electric hatchback is back. After sitting out several model years, the Bolt returns for 2027 rebuilt from the ground up — a new lithium iron phosphate battery, much faster charging, and a native Tesla-style charging port — and it’s now available. For drivers across Riverside, Ontario, San Bernardino, Corona, and the wider Inland Empire who want to go electric without paying a premium, it’s one of the most affordable EVs on the market today.

One thing worth knowing up front: Chevrolet has said the 2027 Bolt is a limited-run, single-model-year model. If the Bolt is on your shortlist, it’s reasonable to look sooner rather than later.

How Much Does the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt Cost, and What Trims Are Available?

The Bolt comes in a simple two-trim lineup. The LT is the value-focused entry point, starting at $28,995 MSRP. The sportier RS starts at $32,995 MSRP and adds street-inspired styling — a unique gloss black grille, gloss black roof rails, and 17-inch gloss black aluminum wheels.

Inside, the LT comes standard with cloth seating (Evotex leather-alternative upholstery is available), while the RS features Evotex as standard. Both seat five, both get an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and both offer a genuinely roomy cabin for a subcompact: 16.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats, expanding to 56.3 cubic feet with the 60/40 seats folded, plus additional under-floor storage.

Driving Range and Battery

At the heart of the 2027 Bolt is a 65-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. LFP chemistry trades a little energy density for durability and resilience to frequent full charging — you can regularly charge to 100% without the accelerated wear seen in some other battery types. It delivers an EPA-estimated 262 miles of range on a full charge, a modest improvement over the previous Bolt.

Real-world range always depends on speed, climate, and how you drive. To help stretch each charge, the Bolt offers selectable regenerative braking, including a one-pedal driving mode that smoothly brings the car to a stop when you lift off the accelerator, feeding energy back into the battery. On the efficiency side, the Bolt is rated at an EPA-estimated 120 MPGe combined.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Does the 2027 Bolt Charge Faster Than the Old Bolt?

Considerably. The previous Bolt’s DC fast charging peaked at a modest 55 kW. The 2027 model supports peak DC fast-charging up to 150 kW — more than 2.5 times faster — and can go from 10% to 80% in about 25 minutes at a compatible public fast charger. That’s enough to add roughly 180 miles of range over a lunch stop. Off the line, the Bolt feels quick and responsive thanks to the instant torque of its single front-mounted electric motor.

Technology and Safety

The Bolt’s infotainment runs on Google built-in, with native Google Maps, Google Assistant, and app access — note that it does not offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, a trait shared across GM’s current EVs.

Every Bolt comes standard with more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, including Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking. Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free driver-assistance technology for compatible mapped highways, is available as an option.

Common Questions About the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt

What is the battery warranty on the 2027 Bolt?

The high-voltage battery and related electric components are covered by a limited warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

This information is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Warranty coverage depends on the specific terms of your vehicle’s warranty agreement. Consult your owner’s manual or a qualified legal professional for guidance on your individual situation.

Does it need much routine maintenance?

Less than a gas vehicle. Because EVs don’t use oil, spark plugs, or a conventional transmission, routine service is limited mostly to tire rotations, multi-point inspections, and periodic fluid checks. Consult your owner’s manual for the recommended service schedule for your vehicle.

Can I charge at a standard public station?

Yes. The native NACS port gives direct access to Tesla Superchargers, and a widely available adapter lets you use CCS DC fast chargers and J1772 Level 2 chargers.

Is the 2027 Bolt rated for towing?

No — the Bolt is not rated to tow. That said, the folding rear seats and cargo area offer plenty of room for gear.
