General Motors has announced that production of the newly updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV will end after approximately 18 months to make way for a gas-powered Buick crossover at its Kansas manufacturing facility.
Inside EVs reports that General Motors has confirmed plans to discontinue production of the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle after a limited production run of about one and a half years. The decision will allow the automaker to repurpose its Fairfax, Kansas, factory for manufacturing the Buick Envision, a gas-powered crossover currently built in China that will be reshored to the United States.

Wow...prematurely ending the “Bolt” EV AND restoring the Buick Envision gas-powered crossover from China to the USA.
Concept development needs sales to keep it going, if subsidies don’t work (and they don’t).
It’s a sound thing!
“Built v-8’s” have that unmistakeable sound that you feel and know the ponies want to run.
SLot car racing is a better investment for electric motors, unless it is a locomotive or a submarine.
Finally realizing the “invisible hand” that guides the market is smarter than a political agenda. Now if they can get rid of their political appointee CEO Mary Barra, that would really be a win for capitalism.
I’ve seen one of these cars around town. License plate: “JA VOLT” LOL!
Ah, Chevrolet was Re-Volting...
Next your going to tell me the windmill driven car is no longer on the drawing board!
