2017 Bolt to Make Official Debut at 2016 Consumer Electronics Show

Chevrolet estimates all-electric offering to have 200-mile EV range, arrival date of 2017

After getting production of the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt fastracked, the bowtie brand is finally ready to reveal the 2017 Bolt to the public. The first stop will be at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in January 2016.

A little less than a year ago, the Bolt made quite the jolt at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The Chevy hatchback was touted with an EV range of about 200 miles and borrowing from the technology of the Chevy Volt, the brand’s current hybrid offering. The exterior will resemble that of a Chevrolet Spark.

An all-electric vehicle will certainly be a positive offering in Chevrolet’s ever-expanding portfolio. Those who want an American brand but also want to help the environment could find just what they’re looking for in the upcoming Chevy Bolt. The electric car market competition is still budding, but that’s part of the reason that Chevy slated the Bolt for production this quickly.

The Bolt will give Chevrolet an edge over the segment’s rivals, and it will plant Chevy firmly into the electric car market. This gives Memphis consumers an option of an affordable EV from a major auto manufacturer and should intrigue electric car buyers.

No official announcement regarding the availability date of the 2017 Bolt has been made by Chevrolet, but late 2016 or early 2017 seems like a conservative estimate. Also, the Bolt is expected to be made available in all 50 states, giving Tennessee and Memphis electric car fans more options.

Whenever it arrives, you’ll be sure that it will be available for order from Chuck Hutton Chevrolet, home of Warranty Forever! Stay tuned to our blog network and follow us on social media for all the Chevy Bolt updates and more!
