GM Authority Provides Details on 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and EUV Production


In February of 2021, GM unveiled the refreshed 2022 Chevy Bolt EV and all-new 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV during a joint debut, and all of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevrolet were excited to see production details released on the GM Authority blog this past week. The 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV are scheduled to begin production on May 9th at the GM Lake Orion Assembly plant in Michigan, with official order books opening March 10th. 

Last year, there were a few different reasons why production of the Bolt EV and EUV were halted, and we have so many positive things to look forward to as progression takes place. The Chevy Bolt EV has received a segment-level award from IHS Markit during its 26th Annual Automotive Loyalty Awards. These aptly determine which vehicle makes and models can boast that they have the most dedicated and longstanding loyal customers, basing results on whether the home buys another vehicle that is made by the same brand. 

The newly acquired vehicle may be either a replacement or any addition to the household’s collective fleet, and the Chevy Bolt EV received an IHS Markit Automotive Loyalty Award in the Small Car segment, repeating its successful claim from the previous year. This means Chevy Bolt EV buyers are highly likely to return to the dealership to make a repeat purchase, ushering in the future of cleaner energy and much longer charging ranges as a possibility. GM was the top overall manufacturer for loyalty in this study for the seventh consecutive year, and has managed to remain as the best automaker for overall customer loyalty, even after the global chip shortage. 


Enjoying an interior much roomier than its size suggests, the redesigned 2022 Chevy Bolt EV also has enhanced features along with a much lower entry-level price. The current estimate is that the 2022 Bolt EV can travel up to 259 miles on a full charge, giving it an official advantage over the Hyundai Kona Electric, while the all-new 2022 Bolt EUV offers the modern convenience of Super Cruise hands-free driving. The hatchback adds a newly available dual-level charging cord, as well as increased Level 2 maximum charging capability. 

The Bolt EV’s electric motor sends 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque exclusively to the front wheels and delivers a composed ride with plenty of available power for highway passing. During a unique and unorthodox test drive in California’s rough and sizzling Death Valley, the Car and Driver team was able to exceed the EPA’s 259-mile estimated driving range with ease. Every Bolt EV features a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with popular standard features, which allows for over-the-air updates and offers built-in apps that work with both Spotify and Amazon Alexa music streaming services.
