New Chevrolet Bolt to End Production in Mid-2027
When the new 2027 Chevrolet Bolt made its debut last fall, General Motors talked about a limited run. What we now understand is that it isn't so much about volume, but rather about duration.
The automaker revealed this week to American media including Bloomberg that the career of this second Bolt will only last about 18 months.

Around the middle of 2027, the Fairfax, Kansas assembly plant will indeed stop making the electric hatchback so that Chevrolet can focus on the gasoline-powered Equinox (pictured below), which will move from Mexico to avoid U.S. tariffs, and so that Buick can begin production of the successor to the Buick Envision (currently imported from China) starting in 2028, again due to tariffs.
This is part of the $4 billion USD investment over two years announced by GM in June 2025.
The Detroit-based auto giant, which brought back the Bolt due to strong demand, expects it to account for a large portion of Chevrolet's electric vehicle sales in 2026, alongside the Equinox EV. The Bolt’s retirement in 2027 will undoubtedly be lamented by many consumers, but don’t forget that the aforementioned investment also included another "next-generation, affordable EV." We’re still waiting for details on this unnamed vehicle.
In the meantime, the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is making its Canadian auto show debut these days in Montreal. It’s been confirmed that maximum range is slightly longer than initially advertised with an official NRC rating of 422 km instead of 410 km (the original Bolt EV was good for 417 km).
As for pricing, the base LT model starts at $43,470 including fees, while the sportier-looking RS model costs $46,025.
