The Bolt EUV could be the perfect excuse to see a brand with a prestigious past, Chevrolet, back on our roads.
Although the name Chevrolet sounds oddly French, it hides a transatlantic story, but not a French one. The brand was founded in 1911 in Detroit, USA, by Louis Chevrolet, a Swiss race car driver and engineer, and William C. Durant, an American entrepreneur and founder of General Motors.
Chevrolet officially left France in 2015, leaving behind a void that few American manufacturers have managed to fill. Since then, the brand has continued its electric development in the United States, but no official return to the French market has been announced. However, if Cadillac has managed to come back to Europe in recent years, why couldn’t Chevrolet follow the same path?
The answer could lie in the Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2027, a modernized version of the American electric compact that had already charmed with its quality-price ratio. The first Bolt, launched in 2016, aimed to be practical and accessible, even against sportier competitors like the Tesla Model 3. Over time, the Bolt EUV has gained traction, adopting a crossover style and maintaining decent range despite sometimes slow rapid charging.
Many obstacles and few hopes for Chevrolet
The Bolt EUV 2027 promises to address these points. Its design, inspired by the latest Blazer EV and Equinox EV, blends modernity with Chevrolet identity. The Super Cruise technology will provide hands-free assisted driving, while the safety systems will be completely updated. All this with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, initially imported from China, to keep the price down while maintaining a range of over 400 km.
At under 30,000 Euros, this Bolt could become a credible alternative against the Chinese electric models already present in Europe. With its typically American charm, it would offer that little extra soul that is sometimes lacking in EVs from Asia: a recognizable style and a warm, reassuring driving experience.

For France, no official announcements have been made, but history shows that American brands can return when they rely on a solid and desirable offering. Unfortunately, the tax war initiated by Donald Trump seriously complicates the chances of Chevrolet returning to the European market. Between import duties and tariff barriers, the Bolt EUV will face real obstacles before it can electrify our roads…
