Chevrolet Bolt EV
The Bolt isn’t exactly a car that everyone talks about, but it’s there. The unique compact is the most affordable electric car on the road and some people love it. But when you look at a Bolt and a Tesla next to each other, it’s easy to see which one is cooler looking. Therefore, sales for the Bolt haven’t been exactly what GM has expected and the model will be discontinued for the 2024 model year. Needless to say, an affordable EV is still needed. So GM will be bringing the model back in a redesigned offering (via Forbes).
The Bolt was one of the most revolutionary electric cars on the road because it cut the price in half. But there’s more to taking on an entirely new segment than just an affordable price tag. Unfortunately, the Bolt just didn’t cut the mustard with consumers. Hopefully, the next generation will live on in a more appealing form.
