The 2027 Chevy Bolt updates the electric hatchback with a 65 kWh LFP battery and a 210 horsepower motor. This new configuration provides an estimated 262 miles of range and supports 150 kW fast charging. All models now come standard with the NACS charging port, simplifying the charging experience. The vehicle is built on the GM BEV2 platform and produced at the Fairfax plant in Kansas.

LFP batteries are a smart move for longevity and cost, but 262 miles is a bit low for a next gen release. I wonder if the real world range drops significantly in cold weather given the chemistry.
The LFP shift is likely about the tax credits. Avoiding cobalt and nickel helps meet battery sourcing requirements for federal subsidies, which keeps the sticker price competitive.
Standardizing NACS across the board is the only part of this that actually matters for the average user. No more clunky adapters.
