Chevrolet Bolt Generations
First Generation (2017–2021)
The Bolt was unveiled in 2015 and began production for the 2017 model year. Initially offering an EPA-estimated range of 238 miles (383 km) on a full charge, making it one of the first affordable electric cars with a range over 200 miles. Equipped with a 60 kWh battery pack and a 150 kW electric motor, delivering 200 horsepower. Supported Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, as well as DC fast charging (up to 55 kW), enabling more rapid recharging on the go. Focused on practicality with a roomy interior, fold-flat seats, and a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Received incremental updates, including a slight increase in range for later models.
Named 2017 Motor Trend Car of the Year and 2017 North American Car of the Year.
Second Generation (2022–2023)
The Bolt was redesigned for the 2022 model year with updated styling, technology, and interior. Introduced the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, a larger and slightly more upscale variant with SUV-like styling. Continued with a similar 65 kWh battery and motor setup, with ranges varying slightly between the standard Bolt (259 miles) and Bolt EUV (247 miles). Added features like the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system (available on the Bolt EUV) and improved infotainment options. The redesigned model was introduced with a lower base price, making it even more accessible, with prices dropping below $27,000 before the federal EV tax credit.
Production ended December 2023 after recording 62,045 U.S. sales in its final year, making it the bestselling non-Tesla EV in America.
Third Generation (2027–Present)
GM announced the Bolt’s return on October 9, 2025, as a 2027 model described as a “limited run” vehicle. The third generation incorporates significant technological improvements while maintaining affordability:
Platform: Updated BEV2 architecture (not Ultium platform) with over 50% component carryover from previous generation
Battery Technology: New 65 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cell-to-pack construction, offering improved durability, safety, and cost efficiency compared to previous NMC chemistry
Charging Improvements: DC fast charging increased from 55 kW to 150 kW (173% improvement), reducing 10-80% charge time from 90+ minutes to 26 minutes
Range: 255 miles (GM estimated), a modest 8-mile improvement over the previous generation despite newer battery technology (trade-off of LFP chemistry for cost and durability benefits)
Connectivity: First Chevrolet vehicle with native NACS charging port, providing seamless access to Tesla Supercharger network without adapters
Production Location: Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, using domestically and globally sourced parts
Market Position: Priced as America’s most affordable new EV at $28,995, positioned below the Chevrolet Equinox EV ($35,000+) and competing directly with the 2026 Nissan Leaf ($29,990)
The 2027 Bolt begins shipping to dealers in the first quarter of 2026. GM has not disclosed production volume targets or duration for this “limited run” model.
