The new version will be released later this year.
Thirdly, older models can still be found on certain lots. Chevrolet reportedly sold 13 Bolt vehicles in the previous quarter, as per data from General Motors.
Q1 2025 sales report.
The Bolt stood out as an under-the-radar champion among electric vehicles; it was one of the initial budget-friendly models capable of traveling more than 250 miles per charge. Although it launched before the Tesla Model 3, it lacked the latter’s allure and cutting-edge tech features. Instead, it offered straightforward, dependable mobility at a reasonable price point aimed squarely at functional utility and lower total costs. Predictably perhaps, U.S. consumers were unimpressed. There has been minimal demand for compact, economical cars overall, let alone those powered solely by electricity. People tend to favor oversized sport utility vehicles coupled with hefty loan amounts. Adding a somewhat lukewarm “Electric Utility Vehicle” concept—a sort of crossover variation—did marginally boost Bolt sales, yet it failed to fully capture America’s attention or enthusiasm.
The initial 2017 Chevy Bolt, which we tested fresh off the lot, retained much of its structure throughout its production run even as General Motors introduced updates like Super Cruise and additional technological advancements.
It won over numerous electric vehicle enthusiasts. For years, it stood as the sole viable competitor to Tesla and was the most budget-friendly option offering up to 250 miles of range, earning it an almost legendary status. I have suggested their cars to several individuals, and every person I know who owns one speaks highly of it. The Bolt holds a special place among early adopters of electric vehicles. Personally, I found the car somewhat underwhelming; driving it didn’t excite me much, nor did spending time inside it appeal greatly. However, I am pleased that such a model exists. Additionally, I’m delighted that General Motors plans to reintroduce it later this year, with

, yet I dislike that it weighs 5,300 lbs, has poor fuel efficiency, and comes with an exorbitant base price.
Furthermore, due to significant advancements in both electric vehicle technology and production capacity over the past eight years since the initial release of the Bolt, General Motors ought to present a much more attractive and accessible electric option. This type of vehicle is precisely what we require at this moment, and I am hopeful that GM can meet our expectations. Additionally, incorporating genuine rapid charging capabilities would also make a substantial difference, considering the previous limitations.
Bolt wasn’t really suited for long car journeys.

Certainly, you can use a Supercharger for a Bolt; however, it will take some time.
Nevertheless, even though pre-owned models continue to be the standard choice for cost-sensitive purchasers who aren’t opting for Tesla, it’s enjoyable to observe that new Bolts are still available. Ultimately, after accounting for tax incentives, you might acquire one for less than $25,000 at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.
Occasionally much below that.
Considering that Americans doubt the appeal of smaller electric vehicles and that leftover Bolts have been sitting unsold for at least 15 months, dealers who still have stock might offer you a more attractive price.
Based on Autotrader, there are currently seven Bolt EUVs and two Bolt EVs available as brand-new options in the American market. These vehicles tend to be scattered widely across different regions, frequently located far from key electric vehicle hubs. Therefore, purchasing one may require planning a leisurely cross-country journey. However, should you decide to proceed with your purchase, it’s advisable to move quickly. The initial versions of the Bolt and Bolt EUV are nearing depletion at dealerships, and uncertainty surrounds whether the production schedule for their successors will remain unchanged.
