GM is officially ending production of its quirky BrighDrop electric vans, shutting down its commercial EV division after just a short stint.
American carmaker Chevrolet announced it is bringing back the Chevrolet Bolt for a limited time as a 2027 model year, to sell it for under $30k.
The new Chevrolet Bolt feels like the kind of electric car the EV market has been waiting for -- something genuinely affordable that doesn't make major compromises. Starting at $28,995, it brings electric driving back into reach for regular buyers, and that alone feels worth celebrating.
General Motors has revised its 2023 profit outlook upwards due to easing tariff pressures and refining its electric vehicle strategy. CEO Mary Barra highlighted a shift in EV adoption timelines, resulting in reduced losses from 2026.
In terms of premium and luxury vehicles, America in 2023 belonged to the Germans, with BMW (351,558 sold), Mercedes-Benz (287,390 sold), and Audi (227,275 sold) all comfortably out-performing Cadillac (146,539 sold) and Lincoln (78,899 sold).
The new Bolt is cheaper than other "affordable" electric cars, all while fixing the weaknesses of its predecessor.
Chevrolet Bolt EV returns as a limited run model in 2027 with Tesla charging standard after GM ended production in 2023 due to battery fire issues.
General Motors President Mark Reuss has admitted that the automaker may have pulled the plug too early on some of its most promising models
