The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt online configurator has gone live on the automaker’s website, which means customers can now check out all the different options and detailed pricing for each extra feature.
I’ll cut straight to the chase: this is not a Porsche, where you can scroll through endless optional package lists and tiny little cost-extra details. The new Bolt, much like its predecessor, is a down-to-earth car that’s meant for the masses, so you’re not going to find a lot of customization in the online configurator.
Just two trims are available, the LT and RS, and both come with the same 210-horsepower front-mounted electric motor and 65-kilowatt-hour LFP battery that enables a 255-mile range rating. Moreover, both can be fast-charged at up to 150 kilowatts via a new Tesla-style NACS charge port, which is a huge improvement over the previous iteration of the Bolt EV.
Production of the 2027 Bolt began last month at General Motors’ Fairfax plant in Kansas, and the first units to hit the showroom floor will wear an MSRP of $29,990 (including destination). That’s because they come equipped with the Comfort Package, which includes an eight-way power driver seat, heated seats for the driver and front passenger, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, and a heated and wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel. The base model that costs $28,995, as well as the $32,995 RS version, will arrive later.
The most expensive option on the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is the Super Cruise Package, which retails for $3,255 and enables hands-free driving on select highways in North America. The dual-panel panoramic power sunroof, which is only available on the RS trim, retails for $1,495, while a three-year SiriusXM subscription will set you back another $299.
Whatever the trim, customers will have to pay $450 to get an illuminated charge port, and another $195 for a cargo cover. With all the available options ticked, a fully-loaded Chevy Bolt will cost roughly $43,000. Leaving out Super Cruise leads to a price that slips under the $40,000 mark, as long as you don't need a Level 2 charger installed.
But few buyers will probably check all of those boxes. And at that price, you're better off in a larger Chevy Equinox EV or Blazer EV, not to mention a Nissan Leaf. Where the Bolt shines—and where most of them will be sold—is in that low-$30,000 mark, and it's shaping up to be a great and affordable daily driver.
