2027 Chevrolet Bolt RS

Entry 013 in the Garage, and the first EV on the board. 262 LFP miles, Super Cruise for $35K, a stroller under the trunk floor, and zero rear vents. Boring, correct, and a steal at the right price.

Verdict // 2027 Chevrolet Bolt RS

7.2/ 10

Under $35K you’re winning. Over it, buy the Ioniq.

The Good

  • Super Cruise in a $35K car, nobody else does this
  • Stroller lives under the trunk floor
  • LFP battery loves being charged to 100%
  • Genuinely good-looking now, and it’s a hatchback
  • Ample room behind a 6-foot driver

The Bad

  • No rear vents, a real problem with a kid back there
  • Bouncy suspension is the one cheap-feeling thing
  • Loaded RS pricing walks into Ioniq 5 territory
  • No CarPlay or Android Auto
  • Volume knob lives on the wrong side of the screen
