Yahoo Autos Chevy Bolt EV and EUV, two of the most affordable EVs, ending production
Yes, it's true, the Chevy Bolt EV and its ever-so-slightly different Bolt EUV twin, arguably the best deals in EVs right now, are leaving production by the end of the year. It was initially reported by CNBC, which cited GM CEO Mary Barra's comments during an earnings call. We received confirmation from a Chevrolet representative with the following statement:
"When the Chevrolet Bolt EV launched, it was a huge technical achievement and the first affordable EV, which set in motion GM’s all-electric future. As the company continues to grow its EV portfolio with the Ultium platform, and as construction continues at the Orion Township, MI, assembly plant in preparation for battery electric truck production beginning in 2024, Chevrolet confirmed Bolt EV and EUV production will end late this year. Chevrolet will launch several new EVs later this year based on the Ultium platform in key segments, including the Silverado EV, Blazer EV and Equinox EV."
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.
