The The Chevy Bolt EV and EUV ceased production in December of 2023. , but that certainly doesn’t imply they’re vanished. Firstly, they will endure eternally in our hearts. Secondly, a The new version will be released later this year. Thirdly, they are still accessible in certain batches. Chevrolet reportedly sold 13 Bolt vehicles in the previous quarter, as per data from General Motors. Q1 2025 sales report.
The Bolt emerged as an under-the-radar champion among electric vehicles, being one of the initial models offering more than 250 miles per charge at a reasonable price point. Although it entered the market before the Tesla Model 3, it lacked the latter’s allure and cutting-edge tech features. Instead, it focused solely on providing straightforward, dependable, budget-friendly mobility aimed at minimizing running costs. Not surprisingly perhaps, U.S consumers were unenthusiastic about this approach; they tend to favor oversized SUVs coupled with hefty loan commitments rather than smaller, economical options. Even when Chevrolet attempted to boost sales by launching what could be described as only marginally convincing “electric utility vehicle” style variants—essentially crossovers—the Bolt still failed to spark significant consumer excitement stateside.
The initial 2017 Chevy Bolt, fresh off the lot, has seen some updates from GM since then. They introduced Super Cruise along with various technological improvements, yet the core design of the vehicle stayed mostly unchanged throughout its production run.
It won over numerous electric vehicle enthusiasts. For years, it was the sole viable competitor to Tesla before becoming the most budget-friendly option offering up to 250 miles of range. It gained almost legendary status within the community. I have suggested their cars to several individuals, and every person I know who owns one speaks highly of it. The Bolt holds a special place among early adopters of electric vehicles. Personally, I didn’t find driving the Bolt exceptionally thrilling; however, I appreciate its existence. I’m equally pleased that GM plans to reintroduce it later this year, with a completely new design grounded in the firm's most recent technological advancements I really enjoy the software. my Blazer EV , but I dislike that it's a massive 5,300-pound vehicle with poor fuel economy and an outrageous base price.
Furthermore, due to significant advancements in both electric vehicle technology and production capacity over the past eight years since the initial release of the Bolt, GM’s new model ought to present a much more attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. This type of vehicle is precisely what we require at this moment, and I am hopeful that GM will succeed with its delivery. Additionally, incorporating genuine high-speed charging capabilities could make all the difference, considering the current landscape. Bolt wasn't really suited for long car journeys. .
Certainly, you can use a Supercharger for your Bolt; however, it will be a longer charging process.
Nevertheless, pre-owned models continue to be the go-to choice for cost-aware purchasers who aren’t considering Tesla. It’s amusing to observe that brand-new Bolts are still available. Ultimately, after accounting for tax incentives, you might acquire one for less than $25,000 at the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Occasionally much below that. Considering that Americans doubt the appeal of smaller electric vehicles and that leftover Bolts have been sitting unsold on dealer lots for at least 15 months, those dealers might offer you a more attractive price due to their excess stock.
Based on Autotrader, there are currently seven Bolt EUVs and two Bolt EVs available as brand-new options in America. These vehicles tend to be scattered far apart, frequently located outside of main electric vehicle hubs, which means you may have to organize an extended driving journey if you’re interested in acquiring one. Should this interest you, however, it’s advisable to move quickly. The current models of the Bolt and Bolt EUV are nearing depletion at dealerships, and whether the upcoming model remains true to its initial schedule is uncertain. car market's tariff chaos.
