Record summary
What to know first
The relaunched Bolt returns with a 65-kWh LFP battery, a 210-hp single motor and an EPA-estimated 262-mile range shared across both trims. It is the first Chevrolet with a NACS (SAE J3400) charging port for both AC and DC fast charging, with a 10-80% DC fast-charge time around 25 minutes.
Model-year note
This is the redesigned, relaunched Bolt, not the previous-generation Bolt EV/EUV, which used a CCS1 port and a different battery chemistry. Production began November 2025 with customer deliveries starting in early 2026; some reporting indicates an unusually short production run (roughly 18 months, into mid-2027), so confirm current on-sale status before treating this as an open-ended nameplate.
