Chevy Bolt Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Bolt is back. Chevrolet ended the first-generation car and has returned with a new 2027 model, which means two different sets of prices are floating around the web. Searches for "Chevy Bolt price" pull up the new car, the older Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, and a handful of used listings, often on the same results page.

This guide covers the 2027 Bolt by trim, what Chevrolet's "from" price leaves out, the cost of popular options, and what the previous generation sold for when it launched in 2023. Keeping those apart is the easiest way to avoid comparing the wrong numbers.

The new Bolt comes in two trims, the LT and the RS. The prices below include the destination charge, which is the number closest to what appears on a window sticker.

The LT starts at $28,995 and the RS at $32,995. Car and Driver summarizes this as $28,995 – $32,995. The launch version of the LT with the Comfort Package is listed at $29,990, according to InsideEVs. If you want the Comfort Package, expect to pay that figure rather than the base LT price.

The Chevrolet website advertises a lower number than the trim tables above. The reason is simple: the manufacturer's "from" price is shown before destination.

Chevrolet lists the Bolt from $27,600, as shown on Chevrolet. Destination is a mandatory charge that every buyer pays, so the lower figure is a starting point and not a final price. When you compare the Bolt with a competitor, check whether each price includes destination. Different sources may use different conventions, and the same car can look cheaper or more expensive depending on which one a source picks.

Options add to the sticker price. The figures below come from the 2027 Bolt configurator as reported by InsideEVs.

Super Cruise, the hands-free driver-assistance package, costs $3,255. The dual-panel panoramic sunroof, available only on the RS, costs $1,495. The illuminated charge port is $450. Super Cruise may also require a subscription after an initial period, so ask the seller what the ongoing cost is before you add it.

A realistic budget starts with the trim and then adds options, taxes, registration and dealer-added fees. Sales tax and registration vary by state. Documentation fees also vary and may be capped or uncapped depending on where you live. Ask for an out-the-door quote in writing so the total is clear before you sign.

Home charging is another expense that falls outside the vehicle price. If you plan to charge at home, a Level 2 charger and its installation depend on your electrical panel and the distance to your parking spot. An electrician can give you a quote.

The first-generation Bolt EV and Bolt EUV are no longer in production, but they still appear in searches and used listings. Their prices fell sharply in 2023, when GM cut the sticker. The figures below are the 2023 model-year launch MSRPs with destination included.

The 2023 Bolt EV 1LT launched at $26,595 and the 2LT at $29,795. The Bolt EUV LT launched at $28,195 and the EUV Premier at $32,695, according to MotorWeek.

Before the 2023 cut, the 2022 Bolt EV started at $32,495, per The Drive. Anyone shopping a used Bolt should keep this history in mind: asking prices for older cars follow the used market, not these launch figures,.

A used first-generation Bolt costs less than a new 2027, but the two cars are different generations. Check the model year, the battery's recall and service history, and the remaining warranty before you compare. If a used listing looks cheap, ask why, and ask for a vehicle history report. A new Bolt carries a full factory warranty and the current design, while a used one gives up some of both for a lower purchase price.

• Ask whether the quoted price includes destination.
• Request the out-the-door figure with taxes and fees itemized.
• Confirm which trim and package the quote covers, since the Comfort Package changes the LT price.
• Ask whether any manufacturer or local incentives apply and what conditions come with them.
