General Motors Co (GM.N) said Thursday it will build the Chevrolet Bolt electric car at an assembly plant near Detroit, where it will invest $200 million for the project.
The compact Bolt, shown as a concept vehicle at the Detroit auto show last month, is designed to have a range of 200 miles, and will cost about $30,000 apiece after tax breaks.
GM's announcement confirms a report last week by Reuters that the Bolt would be produced at the under-used Orion assembly plant in Michigan.
The only electric car currently available with a 200-mile range is the Tesla Model S, which starts at $71,070 before tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs).

It will not run out because there are no “fossil” fuels —just naturally occurring only, gas and coal created deep within the Earth.
Well, gasoline is $1.79/gallon, and coal fired powerplants are being regulated out of existence. Any other ways to justify this waste of money?
Exactly.
How does that company get ANYONE to work for them? Is the economy really THAT BAD?
When it fails, they’ll say that consumers need to be better educated.
Nuts and Bolts go together perfectly.
GM likes to have people onboard who share their vision for changing the world, including all things PC. Too bad for those individuals if they end up working on top-selling truck and SUV programs.
