Chevrolet has started taking orders for the base 2027 Bolt LT without mandatory options. Previously, buyers had to choose the more expensive RS trim or add the $995 Comfort package. Now, a stripped-down LT is available for $28,995 including delivery.

For that price, you get a 210-horsepower electric motor and a 65-kWh LFP battery. EPA range reaches 262 miles. Maximum fast-charging power has been increased to 150 kW—nearly triple the previous generation's 55 kW.

Standard equipment includes an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, an 11.3-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in, adaptive cruise control, a driver-assistance suite, single-zone climate control, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Bolt is assembled at GM's Kansas plant. However, production will be time-limited—in mid-2027, the factory will switch to building the next-generation gasoline Equinox.

At this price, the Bolt remains the most affordable EV in the U.S. market, ahead of the Hyundai Kona Electric, Nissan Leaf, and Fiat 500e. Against a backdrop of slowing EV demand in the U.S., the focus is on a sub-$30,000 price and 150-kW DC fast charging, which addresses a key barrier for mainstream buyers. In practice, the short production cycle suggests a transitional role: the Bolt essentially serves as a tool to maintain market share while GM prepares a new generation of more profitable crossovers.
