"The factory musical chairs reflect an economic and political environment, shaped by the Trump administration's tariff policy and its decision to end the federal EV tax credit, which provided up to $7,500 off qualifying electric vehicles. These changes have made it more expensive to build vehicles in China and Mexico that are then sold in the United States. Production of the 2027 Chevy Bolt EV, which landed in dealerships this month, is expected to end in about a year and a half."
""When we revealed Bolt in October, we said and it was widely reported that it'd be a limited run model," a GM spokesperson said in a statement sent to TechCrunch. "We had also previously announced the gas-powered Equinox would be coming to Fairfax in mid 2027 after Bolt production ramps down. Today we're announcing the next-generation Buick compact SUV will come to Fairfax beginning in 2028.""
General Motors will move vehicle production away from China and Mexico to the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas, ending Chevrolet Bolt EV production there. The shift reflects higher costs tied to tariffs and the end of the federal EV tax credit, which previously provided up to $7,500 for qualifying vehicles. Production of the 2027 Chevy Bolt EV is expected to end in about a year and a half. The new Bolt EV is priced at $29,990 including destination and is among the most affordable new U.S. EVs. GM plans to move the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox from Mexico to Fairfax in mid-2027 and the next-generation Buick Envision from China to Fairfax beginning in 2028. Bolt continuation could depend on stronger-than-expected sales.
