Chevy Electric Cars: 3 Models Left, Bolt Faces Early Exit

As of April 11, 2025, Chevrolet’s electric vehicle lineup has shrunk to just three models: the redesigned 2027 Bolt, the Equinox EV, and the Blazer EV. With General Motors rolling back its EV ambitions and refocusing on internal combustion engines, the future of Chevy’s electric cars looks uncertain. One of these three—the Bolt—is already on borrowed time, with production slated to end in mid‑2027 to make room for gas‑powered vehicles. Here’s a no‑fluff look at each remaining Chevy EV, what they do well, where they fall short, and how they stack up against rivals.

The Cheapest EV in America – But Not for Long

Chevrolet Bolt (2027)

The second‑generation Bolt hatchback arrived for the 2027 model year after customers clamored for a follow‑up to the original Bolt EUV. Dropping the EUV name, this subcompact EV now packs a single front‑motor with 210 hp, a 262‑mile EPA range, and a starting price of $27,600. It’s the most affordable EV currently on sale in the U.S. – but GM has already confirmed this generation will be short‑lived.

Why It’s Still Worth Considering

• Price and range: The Bolt LT starts at $27,600, and the RS tops out just above $30,000. For urban commuters, 262 miles per charge is more than enough, and DC fast charging (10%–80% in about 30 minutes) plus Tesla Supercharger compatibility add flexibility.
• Tech extras: Super Cruise hands‑free driving is available – a rare feature at this price point. The eight‑year/100,000‑mile battery warranty offers peace of mind.

The Catch

• Limited production window: GM plans to build the 2027 Bolt for only about 18 months at the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas, then switch the line to gas‑powered models. If you want one, you’ll need to act fast.
• Political and economic headwinds: Tariffs are pushing GM to domesticate more production, and the end of the federal EV tax credit in September 2025 makes it harder for legacy brands to sustain low‑priced EVs. The Bolt also faces fresh competition from ultra‑cheap imports like the Fiat Topolino (though its road legality is still questionable).
• Interior and driving feel: Some reviewers note the base model’s cabin feels a bit sparse, and the single‑motor setup isn’t exactly thrilling – but for the price, it’s hard to beat.

Bottom line: The Bolt is a steal for budget‑conscious EV buyers, but its days are numbered. If you’re looking for a no‑frills electric runabout, grab one before 2027 production ends.

The Entry‑Level EV Crossover

Chevrolet Equinox EV (2026)

The Equinox EV is Chevy’s answer to the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Tesla Model Y. It comes in three trims: LT1, LT2, and RS. A single‑motor FWD version delivers up to 319 miles of range, while the dual‑motor AWD setup drops slightly to 307 miles. Pricing starts at $34,995 for the base LT1 FWD and tops out at $48,195 for the RS AWD.

What Works

• Fast charging speeds: DC fast charging can take the battery from 10%–80%
