Chevy Bolt Returns at $29,990 With January 2026 Launch, Limited Run Confirmed

Chevrolet is framing the revived Bolt as a limited-run affordability play with U.S. assembly.

Overview

  • Chevy set the Launch Edition at $29,990 including destination for January 2026, with a lower-priced LT trim to follow at $28,995, positioning it as the cheapest new EV in the U.S. market.
  • The 2027 Bolt uses a 65 kWh LFP battery with an estimated 255 miles of range, with cells initially imported from overseas before domestic sourcing ramps up.
  • Peak DC fast charging rises to 150 kW with a GM-quoted 10–80% recharge in about 26 minutes, and a native NACS port enables direct access to Tesla Superchargers.
  • Production will take place at GM’s Fairfax/Kansas City plant, and Chevrolet says the model will be a limited run with no disclosed volume or sales duration.
  • Hardware updates include an approximately 210 hp motor shared with the Equinox EV, larger interior displays with optional Super Cruise, and the exclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
