"Now, the Bolt is backbut as expected, it won't be sticking around for very long. And now we know just how long. According to Bloomberg, GM officials have decided to end production of the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt after just about a year and a half, in order to free up production space at its Fairfax, Kansas factory for a gas-powered Buick crossover."
"Amid the second Trump administration, GM is under tariff-related pressure to bring more production to the U.S., and the China-built Buick Envision is uniquely exposed. Meanwhile, the Bolt can no longer take advantage of the $7,500 tax credit. And with GM no longer under the gun with strict fuel economy regulations, there's apparently less of a business case for it than another (presumably more profitable) gas-powered crossover. Buick sold about 42,000 of them last year, due in part to tariff-related restrictions."
General Motors will produce the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt at its Fairfax, Kansas factory for about 18 months before ending production. Production space will be reallocated to the gas-powered Buick Envision, which is being reshored to the U.S. from China. The 2027 Bolt offers a 260-mile range and starts at $28,995, positioning it as America's cheapest new EV. The Bolt no longer qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit. Tariff-related pressure and eased fuel-economy rules reduce GM's incentive to prioritize the Bolt, while the Buick Envision remains a profitable model with roughly 42,000 sales last year.
