2027 Chevrolet Bolt: Complete Model Overview for Waynesboro EV Shoppers
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is built for value-minded buyers who want a capable, tech-equipped electric vehicle without overspending. It comes in two trims — LT and RS — that share the same battery, motor, and range, with the RS adding more comfort and style as standard. After a hiatus that followed the 2023 model year, Chevrolet has brought the Bolt back for a limited time, and Buchanan Automotive Chevrolet in Waynesboro has 2027 Bolt models available now.

2027 Chevrolet Bolt Charging Options
A Dual Level Charge Cord is included, so the Bolt can plug into a standard 120V household outlet or a 240V outlet. With a professionally installed 240V Level 2 charging station, it accepts up to 11.5 kW. On the road, DC fast charging at up to 150 kW takes the battery from 10% to 80% in about 25 minutes (GM-estimated), and the standard NACS charge port gives the Bolt access to a growing network of compatible public fast chargers.
| Charging Method | Power | Approximate Charging Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 120V outlet (included Dual Level Charge Cord) | 1.4 kW | About 4 miles of range per hour |
| 240V outlet (included Dual Level Charge Cord) | 7.7 kW | About 27 miles of range per hour |
| 240V Level 2 station (professionally installed, 60A dedicated) | 11.5 kW | About 40 miles of range per hour |
| DC fast charging (public) | Up to 150 kW | 10%–80% in about 25 minutes (GM-estimated) |

Exterior Styling of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt
The 2027 Bolt is a compact five-door hatchback with a liftgate — a shape that reads as practical and modern without being flashy. At 169.6 inches long, 69.7 inches wide, and 63.9 inches tall, it fits easily in tight parking spots and driveways while still offering useful cargo space.
Automatic headlamp control and IntelliBeam automatic high beams are standard. The LT rides on 17-inch silver painted aluminum wheels, while the RS adds 17-inch gloss black wheels, gloss black roof rails, a gloss black grille, and RS badging for a sportier look that sets it apart at a glance.

2027 Chevrolet Bolt Performance and Powertrain
Both trims share identical hardware: a single front-mounted permanent-magnet electric motor driving the front wheels through a single-speed transmission. Torque arrives instantly from a standstill, which is what makes the Bolt feel so responsive around town. Chevrolet does not publish an official 0–60 mph time, so the figures below come from independent instrumented testing.
| Specification | LT and RS |
|---|---|
| Horsepower / torque | 210 hp / 169 lb-ft |
| Drivetrain / transmission | Front-wheel drive / single-speed |
| 0–60 mph (tested) | 6.7 seconds (Car and Driver, RS) / 7.1 seconds (Edmunds) |
| Front suspension | Independent MacPherson strut |
| Rear suspension | Torsion beam with coil springs |
| Brakes | Four-wheel disc with ABS, blended regenerative braking |
| Tires | Michelin 215/50R17 all-season |
| Curb weight | 3,776 lbs (LT) / 3,807 lbs (RS) |
Interior Comfort and Space in the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt
Step inside and the cabin is roomier than the exterior suggests. Front headroom measures 40 inches (without the available sunroof) and rear legroom 39.1 inches, giving adults in both rows genuine comfort on longer drives. Seating accommodates five passengers.
Interior Dimensions
| Dimension | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 40.0 in (without sunroof) | 37.8 in |
| Legroom | 44.3 in | 39.1 in |
| Shoulder room | 54.6 in | 52.0 in |
| Hip room | 51.3 in | 50.1 in |
| Cargo volume | 16.2 cu ft behind rear seat / 56.3 cu ft with rear seat folded | |
With the rear seats up, there’s room for a week’s worth of groceries. Fold the rear seats and the space grows for larger loads like camping gear or bulky purchases.
Seating, Comfort, and Option Packages
The LT comes standard with cloth upholstery and a manually adjusted driver’s seat, and builds up through optional packages. The RS includes the Comfort and Evotex equipment as standard, with black Evotex seats and red stitching.
| Package | Key Contents | LT | RS |

Technology and Connectivity in the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt

Which 2027 Bolt Trim Is Right for You?
Both trims share the same powertrain, range, cargo volume, and standard safety suite, so the decision comes down to how much interior comfort you want built in. Families using the Bolt as a daily driver will likely find the RS’s standard heated and ventilated seats worth the premium, particularly through Pennsylvania winters. Buyers prioritizing the lowest entry cost into EV ownership will find the LT gives up nothing in range or standard safety.
Browse our 2027 Chevrolet Bolt inventory to check availability on both trims. When you’re ready to move forward, you can apply for financing online before you visit the showroom.

The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt carries warranty coverage that is particularly reassuring for first-time EV buyers with questions about long-term battery reliability.

Chevrolet also covers the first EV maintenance visit within the first 12 months of ownership, including a tire rotation and Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection.
