Rebooting the 2027 Chevy Bolt Was More Complex Than You'd Think

The 2027 Chevy Bolt retains its familiar look but features a nearly complete electrical overhaul. Built on GM's Global B architecture, it supports OTA updates and advanced driver aids. It uses LFP batteries for ~255 miles of range and 150kW fast charging (10–80% in 26 minutes), plus Tesla's NACS port. Production shifts from Michigan to Kansas, reusing body tooling to cut costs. Target price is under $30K, with deliveries starting January 2027.
