Overview
- Independent testing at a Tesla Supercharger showed the Bolt charging from 10% to 80% in 26 minutes, peaking around 156 kW and adding an estimated 191 miles.
- The updated model triples the old Bolt’s DC fast‑charge rate to 150 kW, aligning with GM’s claim and significantly reducing stop times versus the prior 55 kW cap.
- EPA-rated range stands at 262 miles from a 65 kWh LFP battery, and the standard NACS port enables access to the Supercharger network.
- Pricing starts at $28,995 including destination, positioning the Bolt as the least expensive new EV in the U.S. according to current coverage.
- Production is underway at GM’s Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas as a limited run expected to last about 18 months before the facility shifts to other models, with GM targeting profitability via parts sharing including an Equinox-derived 200 hp motor and wider Super Cruise availability.
