The Bolt isn’t gone just yet, but now we know when it’s coming back.

Chevrolet’s entry-level electric model — offered in standard and larger Bolt EUV versions — is set to go out of production this month, despite strong sales.

The Bolt is the cheapest electric vehicle available in the U.S. with a starting price of $27,495, before tax credits are applied, and Chevy delivered nearly 50,000 through the first three quarters of the year.

Chevrolet in July announced that it would be replaced by a new Bolt at an unspecified date.

The Bolt was given the boot so the company can update the Lake Orion, Mich., factory that builds it to make electric trucks, instead.

However, completion of that project has been pushed until late 2025.

And now GM CEO Mary Barra has revealed at an Automotive Press Association event in Detroit on Monday that the new Bolt would also arrive in 2025, Automotive News reported.

No further details, including where it will be built, were added.

One previous bit of information that was released is that it will be designed around the Ultium electric vehicle platform that underpins GM’s latest EVs, like the Chevrolet Equinox EV and Blazer EV, but will use lower-cost lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) instead of the nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum cells featured in the other models.

The LFP cells also have a lower energy density, which means they provide less range for the same weight, but are typically more durable and can be regularly charged to 100% without damaging the cells.
