The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt and 2026 Nissan Leaf are America's cheapest new EVs, starting around $30,000, with the Leaf offering longer range and better interior tech, while the Bolt provides more passenger space and slightly faster charging. Both models feature modern charging standards and safety tech, but differ in range, power, and interior features, making personal preference and specific needs key to choosing between them.
The new Chevy Bolt is now the most affordable electric vehicle in America at around $29,000, offering 255 miles of range, fast charging, and V2H support, undercutting Tesla by $10,000, with additional updates including a new battery and features.

GM faces setbacks in its plans for affordable EVs, including production halts at key plants and potential delays in new models like the Chevy Bolt and other upcoming EVs, amid broader challenges such as tariffs and legislative hurdles in Korea. Despite these issues, GM continues to promote existing affordable EVs like the Chevy Equinox EV, which remains available at a competitive price with federal tax credits.
GM is developing a new affordable electric vehicle to be built at its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas, alongside the next-gen Chevy Bolt, with plans to introduce a series of Bolt models including a lower-priced version, featuring improvements and LFP batteries to reduce costs, as part of GM's broader strategy to expand its EV lineup and increase US production amid market competition.
General Motors has halted production of the Chevy Bolt, a low-priced alternative to the Tesla Model Y, and laid off over 1,300 workers. GM claims it will bring back the Bolt in 2025, but critics argue that the company has consistently made poor decisions regarding EVs. The Bolt has seen increased sales this year, outperforming more expensive EVs based on GM's newer Ultium EV platform. The Chevy Bolt EUV, which offers advanced hands-free driver assist technology, remains available at a lower price point compared to the Model Y and other GM EVs. The EV market is in need of an affordable electric SUV, and the Bolt EUV fills that gap despite GM's questionable choices.
General Motors will end production of its popular Chevrolet Bolt electric models at the end of the year to shift operations towards the production of two electric trucks: the GMC Sierra EV and the Chevy Silverado EV. The Bolt has been dogged by battery issues that could cause it to catch fire, prompting two recalls by GM. The company aims to produce only electric vehicles by 2035 and plans to launch other electric models later this year, including the Chevy Blazer EV and the Chevy Equinox EV.
General Motors is ending production of its electric Chevrolet Bolt due to battery fires that led to a complete model recall. The Bolt was the most affordable electric vehicle on the market and one of only 11 models to qualify for the recently overhauled EV tax credit. Production on both the Chevy Bolt EV and the larger EUV will wrap by the end of 2023, and the Michigan plant where the cars have been manufactured will start producing electric Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks in 2024. The next generation of GM electric vehicles will utilize the company's new Ultium battery.
General Motors (GM) CEO Mary Barra announced during the company's earnings conference call that production of the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV will end at the end of this year, paving the way for new EVs based on the Ultium platform. The Bolt is GM's top-selling EV, but it uses an older battery cell structure and is not part of the company's electric future. GM's upcoming EVs include the Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, and Silverado EV, all based on the Ultium platform. The Equinox EV will likely replace the Bolt as GM's volume, entry-level SUV.
General Motors plans to stop production of the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV by the end of 2023 due to the models' battery cells being based on an older design. GM will modify a Detroit-area plant to produce the electric Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra starting in 2024. The company plans to switch entirely to EVs by 2035 and use the same battery tech across all models to ramp up production.

General Motors will stop producing its two top-selling electric vehicles, the Chevy Bolt and Bolt EUV, by the end of 2023.

General Motors will end production of the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV at the end of 2023, as the company plans to use the capacity at its Orion Township, Michigan, assembly plant to build electric trucks starting in 2024.

Chevy is planning to launch a trio of Ultium-built EVs, including the Silverado EV, Blazer EV, and Equinox EV.
General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced that the company will end production of its electric Chevy Bolt models by the end of this year due to the older battery cell design and chemistry.

General Motors (GM) sold over 20,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in Q1 2023, marking the first time the automaker has achieved this milestone in a single quarter. The company expects to continue this growth throughout the year, with plans to build another 50,000 EVs in North America through June and double that in the second half of 2023. The Chevy Bolt EV and EUV were the top-selling models, with 19,700 sold in Q1, while the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV also contributed to the sales figures.
