2027 Chevrolet Bolt: Model Overview for Dallas EV Shoppers
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is built for value-minded commuters and families who want a practical electric vehicle without a premium price tag. This overview walks through range, charging, performance, interior space, technology, safety, pricing, and warranty coverage so you can see the whole vehicle before you visit our showroom on LBJ Freeway.
The Bolt carries an EPA-estimated 262 miles of range, 210 horsepower, and a native NACS charge port, and it arrives in two trims: the LT and the step-up RS.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Range and Efficiency
Range is the first question most first-time EV shoppers ask, and the Bolt answers it well for a vehicle at this price. Chevrolet rates it at an EPA-estimated 262 miles on a full charge from its 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack.
Efficiency figures are strong across the board. The Bolt is EPA-estimated at 134 MPGe in the city, 106 MPGe on the highway, and 120 MPGe combined. City efficiency outpacing highway efficiency is normal for an electric vehicle and works in your favor in stop-and-go traffic around Addison and North Dallas.
| Range and Efficiency | Figure |
|---|---|
| EPA-estimated range | 262 miles |
| EPA-estimated combined | 120 MPGe |
| EPA-estimated city | 134 MPGe |
| EPA-estimated highway | 106 MPGe |
| Battery capacity | 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate |

For most Dallas-area driving patterns, that is a wide margin. A round trip between the Galleria area and downtown Dallas runs roughly 20 miles. Add school runs, a stop at Galleria Dallas, and a weekend visit to Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano, and a typical full day still lands well under a third of the battery.
Charging the Bolt
The 2027 Bolt is the first Chevrolet with a native NACS port, which means it plugs directly into Tesla Supercharger stalls and other NACS networks without an adapter. That is a meaningful convenience advantage in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, where NACS coverage is dense.
DC Fast Charging on the Road
On a DC fast charger, the Bolt accepts up to 150 kW and goes from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 25 minutes. That is a coffee stop, not an afternoon.
Charging times are estimates. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s charger types and speeds guidance notes that Level 2 equipment charges a battery-electric vehicle to 80 percent from empty in 4 to 10 hours, while Level 1 can take 40 to 50 or more hours. Your results will vary by vehicle and equipment.
Charging at Home
For daily driving, the 11.5 kW onboard charger matters more than peak DC speed. Chevrolet publishes the following charging rates by connection type. Plugging in overnight on a 240-volt circuit covers nearly any commute in Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Richardson, or Addison with range to spare.
| Charging Method | Power Level | Range Added |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1, standard household outlet | 120 volts | About 4 miles per hour |
| Level 2, home or public | 240 volts at 7.7 kW | About 27 miles per hour |
| Level 2, home or public | 240 volts at 11.5 kW | About 40 miles per hour |
| DC fast charging, public | Up to 150 kW | 10% to 80% in about 25 minutes |
Charging times are estimates. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s charger types and speeds guidance notes that Level 2 equipment charges a battery-electric vehicle to 80 percent from empty in 4 to 10 hours, while Level 1 can take 40 to 50 or more hours. Your results will vary by vehicle and equipment.
If you are cross-shopping Chevrolet’s larger electric SUVs, our Blazer EV range and charging page covers the same ground for that model.
Performance and Driving Character
The Bolt uses a single permanent-magnet electric motor driving the front wheels through a one-speed automatic, producing 210 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque. Electric torque arrives immediately, which is what makes merging onto I-635 feel easier than the numbers alone suggest. Edmunds recorded a 7.1-second 0-60 mph run in testing.
One-pedal driving is standard. Lift off the accelerator and strong regenerative braking slows the vehicle while recovering energy back into the battery. In the stop-and-go traffic that defines a North Dallas commute, it quickly becomes the way you drive.
Steering is light and quick, and the 37.7-foot turning circle keeps tight parking structures manageable.
Size, Space, and Cargo
The Bolt is a five-passenger hatchback with a compact footprint that is easy to park, but the interior is more usable than the exterior suggests. Cargo room behind the rear seats measures 16.2 cubic feet, and folding the rear seats opens that up to 56.3 cubic feet. Edmunds notes the square shape of the cargo area makes it more practical than the raw volume implies.
| Dimensions and Capacity | Figure |
|---|---|
| Seating capacity | 5 |
| Cargo behind rear seats | 16.2 cu ft |
| Cargo, rear seats folded | 56.3 cu ft |
| Front headroom | 40.0 in |
| Front legroom | 44.3 in |
| Front shoulder room | 54.6 in |
| Rear legroom | 39.1 in |
| Length | 169.6 in |
| Width | 69.7 in |
| Height | 63.9 in |
| Curb weight | 3,776 lbs (LT) / 3,807 lbs (RS) |
| Ground clearance | 5.6 in |
| Turning circle | 37.7 ft |
| Wheels and tires | 17-in aluminum, 215/50R17 all-season |
Single-zone climate control with cabin air filtration is standard, and cloth seating is standard on the LT.
Technology and Connectivity
Screens and Google Built-In
The Bolt runs a dual-screen cockpit: an 11-inch reconfigurable driver display and an 11.3-inch center touchscreen, both standard.
The 2027 Bolt does not offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Chevrolet uses Google built-in instead, which puts Google Maps, hands-free voice control, and selected Play Store apps natively in the vehicle, so navigation, voice commands, and media work without pairing a phone. The system also receives over-the-air updates.
Satellite radio comes with a three-month trial, with a three-year subscription available as an option.
Driver Assistance and Super Cruise
The available Technology Package adds an HD Rear Vision Camera Mirror, HD Surround Vision, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance system for compatible divided highways, is available as an add-on and requires the Technology Package. For drivers who regularly run the Dallas North Tollway or I-635, it is the option worth budgeting for.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
Chevrolet’s electric lineup at Galleria Chevrolet also includes the 2026 Blazer EV and the Equinox EV.

Front Pedestrian Braking
Standard on both trims.
Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking

Trims and Pricing
The 2027 Bolt lineup is simple: two trims, both with the same powertrain, the same range, and the same standard safety equipment. The LT is the volume trim. The RS sits above it, adding appearance and comfort content including standard multi-color ambient lighting.
| Trim | Starting MSRP |
|---|---|
| Bolt LT | $28,995 MSRP |
| Bolt RS | $32,995 MSRP |
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
A Dual Panel Sunroof Package is available for buyers who want the open-air option. Because equipment and packaging can vary by build, confirm the exact content of any specific vehicle against its window sticker.
Warranty and Ownership Costs
Chevrolet backs the Bolt with coverage that is worth understanding before you buy, particularly the battery and propulsion terms.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Bumper-to-bumper limited | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain limited | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
| Propulsion battery limited | 8 years / 100,000 miles |
| Certain electric propulsion components | 8 years / 100,000 miles |
| Roadside assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles |

Chevrolet also includes one covered maintenance visit within the first 12 months, which on an electric vehicle covers a four-tire rotation and a multi-point inspection. Day-to-day upkeep on the Bolt is lighter than on a gasoline vehicle. There are no oil changes, no spark plugs, and no transmission fluid, though tires, brake fluid, and cabin air filters still need attention on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt
Is 262 miles of range enough for daily driving around Dallas?
For nearly every North Dallas driving pattern, yes. A round trip from the Galleria area to downtown Dallas is roughly 20 miles. Even a full day of errands, school pickup, and a trip out to Arbor Hills Nature Preserve rarely passes 80 miles. Charging at home overnight on a Level 2 connection replaces far more than a typical day uses, so most owners simply plug in at night and stop thinking about it.
