"There's a lot to be excited about in the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt. From what we know so far, it will have a Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug, a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery pack and a familiar design packed with the latest software and safety features-all for a price around or below $30,000. Like the last Bolt EV and EUV, it could be a big hit."
"What that means in non-industry jargon is that at least at the outset, GM is planning to build and sell fewer 2027 Bolts than initially expected, at least until it can see what EV demand looks like after this month when the federal $7,500 tax credits expire. It's unclear what tax credits the Bolt would have qualified for, but that's ultimately an irrelevant question since production won't even start until December."
General Motors will start 2027 Chevrolet Bolt production on a single shift at its Kansas plant, citing expected weaker EV demand after the federal $7,500 tax credits end. The 2027 Bolt will include a Tesla-style NACS plug, an LFP battery pack, updated software and safety features, and a price around or below $30,000. Tennessee operations building the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq will have December downtime and will cut from two shifts to one in January. GM described the changes as strategic adjustments aligned with anticipated slower EV industry growth and customer demand. Production is slated to start in December.
