![]() Furthermore, Mary Barra herself said there was something more affordable than Equinox in development. We asked about the whether the Bolt name will stick around or if some other direct replacement is coming, and we got a version of the classic "We don't comment on future product," line. With all that being said, we won't close the coffin on affordable GM EVs just yet. In the first quarter of this year, Chevy sold 19,700 examples, more than the Blazer, Colorado and even Suburban individually. The last three quarters all saw sales increases. The Bolt line has even been seeing improved sales. ![]() Plus they offered impressive range and were generally very good little cars in a market with very few affordable options. Certainly the Equinox EV will be fairly affordable with a price tag close to $30,000, but both Bolts had MSRPs under that. It still comes as a little bit of a surprise that the end of Bolt production would be announced with no immediate successor announced. The Chevy Bolts are built at that Orion factory, and so it seems that one of the main reasons the Bolt is being phased out is to accommodate manufacturing of newer Ultium-platform vehicles such as the Silverado EV.

Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-80, Buick 1-80, and GMC 1-80. GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the key cylinder lock housing, free of charge. ![]() ![]() If the key is removed without the transmission in PARK, the vehicle may rollaway as occupants are exiting, increasing the risk of injury.
