The most expensive version of the new Chevrolet Bolt 2027 turns out to be the RS — loaded with every factory option and dealer accessory you can squeeze onto the order sheet. Base price for the RS sits at $32,995. Now brace yourself. Once every box in the configurator is ticked, the total climbs all the way to $47,039.
The biggest hit to the wallet is the Super Cruise package at $3,255. On top of that, another $3,000 for the eight-year OnStar One extension with Super Cruise. Those two line items alone add more than six grand. And that’s just the start. The configuration also includes the premium charging package at $2,371, the dual-panel sunroof at $1,495, the technology package at $1,195, three years of MobileService+ at $599, and three years of SiriusXM satellite radio at $299.
Then come the smaller add-ons — and small numbers stack up fast. Atomic Yellow paint — $395. Illuminated charge port — $450. Cargo package — $295. Black wheel nuts — $295. All-weather floor mats — $265. Black locking lug nuts — another $130. The end result is a compact EV that was supposed to be Chevrolet’s affordable option creeping into the price territory of much larger, much pricier electrics.
The question for the buyer is simple — does anyone really need all of this at once. Fully loaded, the Bolt gets an advanced driver assistance suite, expanded services, faster charging, and a generous spec sheet. But nearly $14,000 piled on top makes it something very different from the simple, affordable EV it appears to be in the showroom.
