Lawsuit overview

Why is Chevy discontinuing the Bolt EV?
Chevy discontinued the Bolt to make way for more profitable, advanced EVs on its new Ultium battery platform. The Orion plant where the Bolt was made is being retooled for electric pickups, and the Bolt's older battery technology was outdated compared to newer models, including the upcoming Equinox EV. While the Bolt was popular, GM needed to focus on its next-generation vehicles for higher profitability.
Reasons for discontinuation
- Transition to Ultium platform: The Bolt used an older battery architecture that was not compatible with GM's new, more advanced Ultium platform. GM is shifting resources to this new platform for its future EVs.
- Production capacity: The Orion Township, Michigan plant that built the Bolt is being retooled to produce electric versions of the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado pickups.
- Profitability: While the Bolt was a top seller, it was reportedly not a very profitable vehicle. GM is prioritizing higher-end EVs, like the upcoming pickups, which are expected to be more profitable.
- Outdated technology: The Bolt's battery technology was becoming obsolete, with slower charging speeds compared to newer competitors.
- Brand shift: The discontinuation also marks a strategic shift for GM to focus on larger, more expensive EVs, though they still plan to offer a budget-friendly option with the future Equinox EV.
When can I buy a 2025 Chevy Bolt?
The 2025 Chevrolet Bolt EV does not exist, since the last model year of the first-generation Bolt EV was 2023. Looking ahead, the Bolt EV will return for the 2026 model year.
