GM Revives Bolt as Affordable 2026 EUV

General Motors is reviving the Chevrolet Bolt, discontinued in 2023, in response to public demand for affordable electric vehicles. The new Bolt, expected for the 2026 or 2027 model year, will be available exclusively as a crossover EUV, abandoning the previous hatchback style. It will feature a refreshed design, a native NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access, and be built on GM's Ultium platform with likely use of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for faster charging and up to 300 miles of range. GM aims to price the Bolt around $30,000, positioning it below the Equinox EV in Chevrolet’s lineup. The company has emphasized keeping the Bolt accessible without major price hikes. Additional details on powertrain, pricing, and features are expected later in 2025.
