The new Bolt EV will offer an "even better driving, charging, and ownership experience" compared to its predecessor, according to GM CEO Mary Barra. It will feature a more crossover-SUV look, similar to the Trax, and will include GM's Super Cruise hands-free highway tech, which was previously only available on the bigger EUV model [1]. The vehicle is also expected to come with a built-in NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access.
The new Bolt EV will be built in Kansas, alongside a new "next-gen affordable EV" that will likely be part of the family of Bolts. This new model is expected to start at a slightly higher price than the $28,785 MSRP of the outgoing model, given the upgrades [2]. Meanwhile, Chevy already has an affordable model that has helped it become the fastest-growing EV brand in the US, the Chevy Equinox EV, which starts at under $35,000 and is expected to be among the top-three-selling EVs by the end of 2025 [3].
GM's investment in ramping up US production and its commitment to affordable electric vehicles suggests a strategic focus on capturing a significant share of the growing EV market. The acquisition of Zeekr by Geely also highlights the increasing competition and innovation in the BEV sector, which could drive further advancements in technology and cost-efficiency [4].

Chevrolet is set to launch a new Bolt EV later this year, featuring over 300 miles of driving range, faster charging, and more. The new model will be based on GM's Ultium platform, which powers current Chevy, Cadillac, GMC, and Honda electric vehicles sold in the US. GM's president, Mark Reuss, confirmed the new model will be part of a "family of Bolts," which will include an even more affordable variant. The new Bolt EV is expected to be available in mid-2026, with prices and final specs to be announced closer to launch.
