The chevrolet Bolt Could Return, Using GM's Ultium Battery
Logo of 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Photo: D.Boshouwers Last April, we learned that the Chevrolet Bolt and its Bolt EUV SUV counterpart were to disappear. For many this was sad news regarding a model that was appreciated by consumers and, just as importantly, a relatively affordable EV.
The move was not really surprising, however. The Bolt's structure is aging, and General Motors was preparing to launch its first EVs based on the more efficient Ultium platform. The Bolt no longer seemed to have a future. But now the company is hinting it may be changing its mind. In an interview with Michigan radio host Kai Ryssdal, GM CEO Mary Barra said:
“The difference between our second generation and third generation [of EVs], which is Ultium, is a 40% reduction in battery costs. And we’re leveraging the names of our vehicles that are well understood and known in industry. People, you know, who drive an Equinox today will understand what an Equinox EV, what that delivers to them. Bolt is something that has built up a lot of loyalty and equity.
