Great news for electric vehicle fans: the Chevrolet Bolt has made its highly anticipated return, and it was worth the wait. The all-new 2027 Chevy Bolt is now on dealer lots, including Maritime Chevrolet. From the moment customers lay eyes on it, it's easy to see why this little EV is making such a big splash. Range anxiety? Not with the 2027 Bolt. This new model delivers up to an EPA-estimated 262 miles of range on a single charge — the most range of any EV under $30,000 on the market today. Whether you're commuting across town or heading out for a weekend adventure, the Bolt has you covered. Step inside and you'll notice the cabin has been thoughtfully redesigned. A new 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in keeps you connected and in control, while an 11-inch driver information center puts everything you need right in front of you. And for the first time ever, the Bolt offers available hands-free driver assistance technology: Super Cruise. Making it the most affordable vehicle in America to offer this capability. The 2027 Bolt is also the first Chevrolet EV to feature a native NACS charging port, giving you access to a broader public charging network than ever before. When you need a quick top-up, available 150 kW DC fast charging can take you from 10% to 80% in just 25 minutes. All of these upgrades come at a price that's hard to argue with. The 2027 Bolt LT starts at just $28,995 MSRP — making it America's most affordable EV. More range, better tech, faster charging, and a price that fits real life. The Bolt really does deliver it all. The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is available now at Maritime Chevrolet. Stop in for a test drive or visit MaritimeChevy.com to explore features, pricing, and more. We'd love to put you behind the wheel!

A few years ago, during the rapid rise of electric vehicles, the Chevrolet Bolt and its sibling helped make EV ownership more accessible than ever. But the story didn’t end there. Behind the scenes, Chevrolet was already developing the next chapter — and now the all-new 2027 Bolt is ready to make its return. At Maritime Chevrolet, we’re excited to see this popular EV come back with meaningful upgrades while staying true to its mission: delivering affordable electric driving for everyday drivers. While the new Bolt’s exterior design will feel familiar to fans, resembling the previous Bolt EUV, the real transformation lies beneath the surface. The 2027 model features updated front and rear styling along with new electrical architecture and a more efficient electric powertrain that gives the Bolt a fresh start. One of the biggest improvements comes in charging capability. Earlier versions of the Bolt were limited to relatively slow fast-charging speeds, but the new model adopts a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery that dramatically improves performance. The 65-kWh battery can now accept up to 150 kW of fast-charging power, allowing drivers to charge from 10% to 80% in about 25 minutes. It also includes a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, giving drivers access to a broader charging network. The Bolt’s electric motor has also been upgraded, borrowing technology from the Chevrolet Equinox EV. The result is 210 horsepower, slightly more than the previous model, along with improved acceleration thanks to revised gearing. Inside, the cabin receives a modern refresh with a redesigned dashboard, a customizable digital instrument cluster, and a larger 11.3-inch infotainment display powered by integrated Google technology. Built-in apps provide navigation and music streaming, with eight years of data included to keep drivers connected on the road. Despite the new technology, the Bolt remains focused on value. The 2027 model offers an estimated 262 miles of EPA-rated driving range and starts at $28,995, making it one of the most affordable electric vehicles available today. For drivers who want additional comfort and style, the RS trim adds heated and ventilated seats, blacked-out accents, a heated steering wheel, and other premium touches. Even better, Chevrolet’s advanced Super Cruise hands-free driving technology is available on both trims, making the Bolt one of the most affordable ways to experience this cutting-edge feature. The Bolt’s return proves that electric vehicles don’t have to be expensive to be capable, practical, and fun to drive. At Maritime Chevrolet, we’re excited to see how the next generation of this fan-favorite EV continues to make electric driving more accessible than ever.
