Full 2027 Chevrolet Bolt specs and trims
Range & Battery
How far can the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt travel on a full charge?
The 2027 Bolt is rated for 262 miles of range on its 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery. That range figure covers most daily commutes in Jackson and longer drives across southwest Minnesota without a charge stop.
What type of battery does the 2027 Bolt use?
The Bolt uses a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery with a 65 kWh capacity. LFP chemistry is known for long cycle life and thermal stability, and it can be charged to 100% regularly without the degradation concerns common with other battery chemistries.
Does cold Minnesota weather affect the Bolt's range?
All electric vehicles see some range reduction in extreme cold, and that applies to the Bolt as well. Chevrolet does not publish a specific cold-weather range figure, but preconditioning the battery while the car is still plugged in is a practical way to minimize the impact before a winter drive.

Charging
How fast does the 2027 Bolt charge?
The Bolt supports DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, taking the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 26 minutes. For home charging, the onboard Level 2 charger accepts up to 11.5 kW, adding up to 40 miles of range per hour on a 240-volt outlet.
What charge port does the 2027 Bolt use?
The 2027 Bolt comes standard with a NACS (North American Charging Standard) charge port. NACS is now the dominant standard in the U.S., giving Bolt owners access to Tesla Supercharger networks and other NACS-compatible public charging stations across the country.
Can the 2027 Bolt charge my home?
Yes. The 2027 Bolt includes Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) bidirectional charging capability, meaning the car can send power back to your home when paired with compatible home energy hardware. This makes the Bolt a practical backup energy source during outages, which is a real consideration for rural areas in southwest Minnesota.
Can I charge the Bolt at a standard wall outlet?
The Bolt can accept a Level 1 charge from a standard 120-volt household outlet. This is the slowest method and is best suited for topping off overnight rather than recovering a significant amount of range.
Trims & Pricing
What trims are available on the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt?
The 2027 Bolt comes in two trims: LT and RS. The LT is the entry trim with a full suite of standard safety technology and Google Built-In infotainment.

What colors can I get on the 2027 Bolt?
Four exterior colors are available. Habanero Orange and Marina Blue Metallic are offered on both trims. Relic Green Metallic is exclusive to the LT. Atomic Yellow is exclusive to the RS.
What is the difference between the Bolt LT and the Bolt RS?
The LT delivers the full core package: 262 miles of range, 210 hp, the 11.3-inch Google Built-In touchscreen, and every standard safety feature. The RS builds on that with available Super Cruise hands-free technology, an HD Surround Vision camera system, and a digital rearview mirror. If hands-free highway driving is a priority for trips between Jackson and larger regional cities, the RS trim is the one to evaluate.
