The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt delivers 262 miles of EPA range on a 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery with 210 hp. The 2026 Volvo EX30 Single Motor matches that nearly mile-for-mile at 261 miles but offers significantly less cargo room. This page compares both vehicles spec by spec so you can find the right fit in inventory at ASA Auto Plaza of Jackson.
For buyers who need maximum cargo flexibility and hands-free highway driving, the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt wins on practical merit. Its 56.3 cu ft of max cargo space more than doubles the EX30's 27.8 cu ft, and the available Super Cruise system on the RS trim puts it ahead on long-haul capability. The EX30 is the better pick for buyers who prioritize a premium Scandinavian interior, a faster 0-60 time, and don't regularly haul large loads.

The Bolt's 210 hp and 169 lb-ft of torque through a front-wheel-drive setup delivers smooth, linear acceleration suited for daily commuting and highway cruising. Its single-speed final drive ratio of 11.6:1 is tuned for efficiency over outright performance.
The EX30 Single Motor counters with 268 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque through a rear-wheel-drive layout, reaching 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. Buyers who want more urgency can step up to the Twin Motor Performance trim, which produces 422 hp and hits 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with AWD, though that configuration carries a significant premium over the base Single Motor.
On the charging front, the Bolt edges the EX30 in DC fast charging speed. The Bolt pulls up to 150 kW and reaches 10-80% charge in 26 minutes. The EX30 completes the same charge window in 28 minutes. Both vehicles use NACS charge ports for Tesla Supercharger network access. NACS charging network compatibility
One feature unique to the Bolt in this comparison is Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) bidirectional charging. Owners in Jackson, MN and surrounding areas facing seasonal power needs can use the Bolt to power home systems during an outage. The EX30 offers Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), which powers devices and small appliances but does not feed back into the home electrical system.
Cargo capacity is where these two EVs separate most sharply. The Bolt carries 16.2 cu ft behind the second row and expands to 56.3 cu ft with the rear seats folded. The EX30 manages 12.4 cu ft behind the second row and tops out at 27.8 cu ft fully loaded. For anyone hauling gear, groceries, or camping equipment across southwestern Minnesota, the Bolt's advantage here is decisive.
The EX30 focuses its interior story on materials and design. Wool Blend and Nordico upholstery, five ambient lighting themes, a panoramic roof, and a heated steering wheel come standard. It reads more like a premium urban compact than a budget-first EV. Rear legroom on the EX30 checks in at 32.3 inches, which is workable for shorter trips but tight on longer hauls.
The Bolt seats five with practical day-to-day flexibility. Both front and rear rows receive USB-C ports, and the available digital rearview mirror on the RS adds rear visibility in low-light conditions. The Bolt's driver information screen spans 11 inches, sitting alongside the 11.3-inch infotainment display.
Both vehicles run Google Built-In, meaning Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play app store are native to the infotainment system. The EX30 also adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it includes a Harman Kardon premium sound system as standard equipment on Plus and Ultra trims. The Bolt does not list Apple CarPlay or Android Auto among its verified features.
The Bolt introduces Google Gemini as an in-vehicle AI assistant, which represents a more recent generation of voice and query capability than standard Google Assistant. The RS trim adds Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology, HD Surround Vision, and a digital rearview mirror. Super Cruise is a meaningful differentiator for buyers who regularly travel long stretches of divided highway. Super Cruise compatible highway map
On safety, the Bolt includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Intersection Collision Mitigation, Rear Automatic Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking, Rear Park Assist, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, and the Safety Alert Seat as standard equipment across both trims. The EX30 covers Blind Spot Information, Lane Keeping Aid, Intersection Autobrake, and front and rear Park Assist as standard, with 360-degree camera and automated parking reserved for Ultra trims.
Both vehicles share the same 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty, putting them on equal footing for long-term EV ownership confidence. The Bolt carries a 3-year / 36,000-mile basic warranty. The EX30 extends its basic coverage to 4 years / 50,000 miles, which is a stronger general warranty.
The Bolt offers two trim levels, LT and RS, keeping the decision simple. The RS unlocks Super Cruise, HD Surround Vision, the digital rearview mirror, wireless phone charging, and exclusive Atomic Yellow color. The EX30 runs four trim configurations across Single Motor and Twin Motor powertrains, which gives more options but also more complexity at the point of purchase.
The Bolt's One-Pedal Driving comes with two regenerative braking settings, Normal and High, giving drivers in Jackson and the surrounding area control over how aggressively the car recaptures energy on flat roads and rolling terrain alike.
Both EVs deliver nearly identical range figures and share the same long-term battery warranty, so neither decision is a wrong one. The choice comes down to whether utility and technology features or interior refinement and powertrain options matter more to you.
ASA Auto Plaza of Jackson serves buyers across Jackson, MN and the surrounding region with current Bolt inventory in both LT and RS configurations. The Bolt's V2H capability, Super Cruise availability, and 56.3 cu ft of max cargo space make it a strong fit for buyers who want an EV built for real-world flexibility rather than showroom appeal alone. Browse current stock and schedule a test drive to experience the 262-mile range and 26-minute fast charge firsthand.
Yes, by one mile. The Bolt delivers 262 miles of range versus 261 miles for the EX30 Single Motor. Both figures are close enough that range alone should not decide the purchase.

Apple CarPlay is not listed among the verified standard or available features for the 2027 Bolt. The Bolt runs Google Built-In with Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Gemini.
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) means the car can send power back into a home's electrical system. The 2027 Bolt offers V2H capability. The EX30 offers Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), which powers external devices and appliances but does not feed the home grid.
The Bolt carries significantly more. Max cargo in the Bolt reaches 56.3 cu ft with seats folded. The EX30 tops out at 27.8 cu ft.
