The 2027 Chevy Bolt: Affordable, Advanced, and Coming Soon to Fox Lake

The Chevy Bolt is back for 2027 with a smart mix of value, range, and everyday tech- perfect for drivers around Fox Lake, Grayslake, Gurnee, and Crystal Lake looking to go electric without stretching the budget. The 2027 model is estimated at 255 miles of range, starts at $28,595, and brings meaningful upgrades in charging, safety, and in-cabin tech. It’s expected to be available early 2026, giving shoppers time to plan, compare, and prepare.

Fast, Convenient Charging- Including Tesla Superchargers
Charging is faster and simpler on the new Bolt. With DC fast charging, GM estimates a 10%–80% charge in about 26 minutes, and the standard NACS port opens up access to a growing network- now more than 250,000 available chargers across the U.S. and Canada. That includes compatibility with many Tesla Superchargers, making road trips around Chicagoland and beyond more practical than ever. If you’re exploring plug-in options locally, our team at Ray Chevrolet is happy to walk through home and public charging solutions that fit your routine.

Smart Tech, Confidence-Boosting Safety
The Bolt’s redesigned interior centers around large, intuitive screens and helpful connected features. Available Super Cruise driver assistance technology adds hands-free capability on compatible roads, while the Bolt includes over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features to support everyday driving. It’s a practical, approachable way to experience EV tech- without the learning curve.

Built for Value: Starting at $28,595
With a starting price of $28,595, the 2027 Bolt is positioned to be one of the most approachable EVs on the market. It’s a strong value play for commuters, growing families, and anyone looking to reduce fuel costs. GM also backs the battery with an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, adding peace of mind as you make the switch to electric.
