Chevrolet It looks like the Bolt isnt dead after all. Only a few months after Chevrolet announced that it would be killing the Bolt EV, the company reversed course and said that the Bolt will live on. And, finally, we have a few more details about what will likely remain one of the cheapest EVs in its next iteration.

On the contrary, Chevrolet says that itll be releasing a new-and-improved second generation of the Bolt thatll be built on General Motors Ultium platform. In other words, it might end up being a whole lot better than the already great-value current-generation Bolt which will be super helpful in helping make for higher-quality cheap EVs.
Recommended Videos Its currently unclear if Chevrolet will be keeping the Bolt EUV too, though given the popularity of large cars these days, wed be surprised if itdidnt keep the larger Bolt.
Curious to learn more about the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt? Heres everything we know so far.
Theres almost nothing that we know about the design of the next-generation Bolt though its likely itll keep some design cues from the current-generation model.
Stephen Edelstein / Digital Trends The current Bolt is known for its somewhat bulbous front and slanted headlights, along with the hatchback rear. Were expecting that at the very least, the next Bolt will be a hatchback.
If Chevrolet keeps the Bolt EUV, like the current generation, itll likely be more or less a larger version of the standard Bolt EV.
Hopefully, both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV (if released) will offer a slightly sleeker, more interesting design. The Bolt EV isntcompletely hideous, but its far from being stylish. Most of the best electric cars these days at least have a sense of style, even if they dont all look that great. If the wildly revamped 2023 Toyota Prius taught us anything, budget cars dont need to be bland.
The price is perhaps the best thing about the current Chevrolet Bolt. In fact, the car is one of the cheapest electric cars out there right now, making it a go-to for those who want the advantages of an electric car without having to pay an arm and a leg.
Unfortunately, we dont yet know how much the 2025 Bolt will cost. Hopefully, itll come at a similar price to the-generation model or lower. Currently, the Bolt starts at $26,500, with the Bolt EUV starting at $27,800.
We finally have some information about the release date of the next-gen Bolt, however, when well see it is still a little up in the air. General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced at an Automotive Press Association event that the car would be coming in 2025.
Unfortunately, we dont knowexactly what that means. It likely means that it will be relaunched as a 2025 model year vehicle, and that well see it in late 2024. Alternatively, it could mean that General Motors will show off the car in 2025 and launch it as a 2026 model. Were betting on the former, which would allow us to see the car sooner rather than later.

Chevrolet has yet to announce the Bolt, and as such we have no idea what kinds of colors and models to expect from the car.
That said, we can absolutely expect to see multiple models of the car. Currently, Chevrolet offers the 1LT and 2LT models, with the more expensive 2LT largely just getting nicer seats and some better tech features.
We also dont yet know the specifics of the 2025 Chevrolet Bolts charging speed and range though we do have some clues as to what to expect. Thats because we know that the 2025 Bolt will be built on the General Motors Ultium platform.
Chevrolet That basically means that the new Bolt should be lighter, and thus offer a better range, while remaining cost-efficient as the battery reduces cobalt use by 70%. Were also expecting the car to utilize the Tesla NACS charging connector, which GM has announced it will adopt by 2025.
Well still have to wait and see what kind of range and charging speed we got from the new Bolt though. Were hoping itll reach at least 300 miles.
The Bolt is built to be cost-efficient, and as such, it likely wont be the fastest car out there but as a modern electric car, it should still offer some decent acceleration. The current-generation model can get from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, which isnt bad and allows drivers to zip around town relatively easily.
Hopefully, the next Bolt will build on that with slightly faster acceleration. GMs prior announcements about its Ultium platform offer some clues. The lowest-spec Ultium motor GM has announced still offers 241 hp, up substantially from the 200 hp the current-gen Bolt offered.
The 2025 Bolt EV will likely offer some great tech features too. While we dont know the exact features to expect just yet, its unlikely that the features will be radically different than whats currently offered on the car. That means that youll get features like adaptive cruise control, a range of parking sensors, and more.
Chevrolet General Motors has said that it will no longer use CarPlay or Android Auto, so were not expecting to see those features on the new Bolt.
The current-generation Bolt EV and EUV both qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit, along with a range of other General Motors cars. Thats no guarantee that the next-generation versions of the car will too, especially given the fact that the requirements for cars to qualify change every year, and many cars will be losing some of their qualification next year.
Given the fact that much of the success of the original Bolt could be owed to the tax credit, we are hoping that GM will make sure that the next model does qualify. It will certainly help that most of GMs Ultium battery factories are in the U.S., which is a major qualifier for eligibility.
There are a number of things were hoping to see from the next-generation Bolt, however near the top of the list for us is a refined and improved design. The Bolt isnt necessarilyugly, but over the past few months, Volvo has announced the EX30, which is much sleeker and is also relatively affordable.
Thats along with the usual changes. Were hoping that the Bolt EV offers a range of at least 300 miles and that its able to charge much faster than the current version, which was notoriously slow.
