In America, the 2023 compact crossover comes with a significant US$6,300 price reduction, from Chevrolet. Starting at US$28,195 (with destination) it’s one of the best deals in US for an electric vehicle. This makes it an amazing deal in the US. But not in Canada.
General Motors did not offer any price reductions to Chevy Bolts or Bolt EUVs purchased in Canada. Depending on the exchange rate of the day, the price reduction Americans received is equal to approximately CDN$10,000!
While it not the fastest charging EV available, it is worth noting that the US EPA claims the Chevy Bolt will save the average customers US$9,750 in fuel costs over five years compared with the average new vehicle of the same size. That’s US$2000 a year in fuel savings, not to mention greatly reduced emissions!

In Newtown, the local health department uses a Chevrolet Bolt to get to restaurant inspections. In New Haven, the mayor zips around the city in a Nissan LEAF.

Motivated by public interest in zero-emission vehicles and potential long-term cost savings, a small but growing number of Connecticut towns and cities are incorporating electric vehicles into their municipal fleets. Flush with federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, some municipalities say that now is the perfect time to make deep investments in electric-powered vehicles.
“Aside from the fact that it helps to reduce the carbon footprint, it’s good for the next generation coming along, it’s good for the environment — those are all plus things,” said Fred Hurley, Newtown’s director of public works. “But if you want to get very parochial about it, they don’t need servicing like other vehicles do. Their operating costs are much lower.”
General Motors Co. is keeping its Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV plant down the rest of the year as it continues to work through a recall on the electric vehicles, the automaker confirmed Thursday.
“GM has notified employees at Orion Assembly the plant will take downtime for the remainder of the 2021 calendar year,” GM spokesman Dan Flores said in a statement. “This decision will enable us to continue prioritizing recall repairs. We will continue to inform employees at the appropriate time of any additional production schedule adjustments in early 2022, as we continue to focus on battery module replacements.”
Orion Assembly production was first halted the week of Aug. 23 after GM announced a recall of all Bolt EVs and EUVs — more than 141,000 — for potential battery fire risk. GM is prioritizing replacing those recalled Bolts with new battery modules. The automaker restarted production for two weeks in November to make replacement Bolts for customers having their Bolts fixed. Production went down again the week of Nov. 15.
Reuters is reportingGeneral Motors “will resume limited production for two weeks at its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan, which has been shuttered since August and builds the” Chevy Bolt.
The Orion Assembly plant in Michigan has been idled since the recall. It will restart limited production on November 1 to “help optimize battery production and supply chain repair logistics.”
