Chevy Reboots Beloved Bolt EV with 300+ Mile Range, Faster Charging and More.

Chevrolet is set to launch a new Bolt EV later this year, featuring over 300 miles of driving range, faster charging, and more. The updated model will be based on GM's Ultium platform, offering longer driving range and faster charging speeds than the outgoing Bolt. The new Bolt will also feature a more crossover-SUV look, Super Cruise hands-free highway tech, and a built-in NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access.

Chevrolet is poised to re-enter the electric vehicle (EV) market with a new Bolt EV, set to launch later this year. The new model promises over 300 miles of driving range, faster charging capabilities, and an updated design [1].

The new Bolt EV will be built on GM's Ultium platform, which has been used in other GM electric vehicles such as the Chevy Silverado EV WT. This platform is expected to provide longer driving ranges and faster charging speeds compared to the outgoing Bolt EV [1].

The new Bolt EV will feature a more crossover-SUV look, similar to the Chevy Trax, and will include GM's Super Cruise hands-free highway technology, which was previously only available on the Chevy Bolt EUV [1]. Additionally, the new model will come equipped with a built-in NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, allowing direct access to Tesla Superchargers without the need for adapters [2].

The new Bolt EV is part of GM's strategy to expand its affordable EV offerings. The company plans to build the new model in Kansas, alongside a next-gen affordable EV, which is expected to be part of the Bolt EV family [1]. The new model is anticipated to start at a slightly higher price than the outgoing Bolt EV, considering the upgrades and increased features [1].

GM's commitment to EV adoption is evident in its comprehensive guide to EV charging, which simplifies the process for both home and public charging. The guide covers essentials such as using Level 1 and Level 2 charging, as well as the benefits of vehicle-to-home (V2H) energy backup [2]. GM has also partnered with EVgo, ChargePoint, and Pilot/Flying J to provide access to over 250,000 charging stations, and more than 21,500 Tesla Superchargers via GM-approved NACS adapters [2].

The new Chevrolet Bolt EV is set to be a significant addition to GM's EV lineup, offering a more affordable and accessible entry point into the electric vehicle market. The enhanced features and longer driving range are expected to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
