THE CHEVROLET BOLT EV IS COMING BACK. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW (AND HOPE IT'LL HAVE)

EV Channels Review

General Motors has confirmed the return of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, this time based on the Ultium platform. While specifics are scarce, the video speculates on a 2025 or 2026 release, driven by GM's current Ultium battery production constraints. The new Bolt EV is expected to retain its affordable entry-level positioning, with potential pricing around $25,000, though a heavy reliance on subscription services for technology features is anticipated. The reviewer hopes for improved seats and a practical, efficient form factor, possibly slightly larger than the current model, while acknowledging the possibility of a future performance variant. The current Bolt EV's efficiency and real-world range (240-260 miles) are highlighted as benchmarks, with expectations for the new model to maintain or slightly improve upon this, likely with a 50-70 kWh Ultium battery pack. Charging speed is a question mark, with possibilities of either a 400V or 800V system.
