As the past two years have drastically changed the timeliness and the ways in which supply chains affect every little corner of the auto business, we strive for perfection here every day at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis! We are excited to note lately that our Michigan-based facilities are fully up and running! A hefty investment recently sank into the GM Orion Facility for the production of the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV. It was recently announced that production of the Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV will continue during the necessary conversion process.
The conversion of the facility has begun immediately, with significant expansion of the site to include the additives of new body and paint shops, brand-new general assembly, and battery pack assembly areas. After the conversion reaches completion. GM estimates that this facility will now provide jobs to an additional 2,350 workers with fully-fledged production of the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV to begin in 2024. While solidifying the EV’s future that will excite so many consumers not needing to stop at the pump, both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ride on top of the BEV2 platform.
GM is ramping up its all-electric vehicle offerings with plans to launch 30 brand-new EV models globally by 2025 as EV sales in the U.S rose 89 percent during the last year. The closely studied figures also revealed a 71.8% increase in EV sales during Q4 of 2021, with inventory not being as impacted by the ongoing microchip shortage as in some industries. The 2022 Bolt’s new front fascia trades in a toy-like look from the previous model for something a bit more premium and adult-oriented in appearance.
The 2022 Bolt features an all-new center console that connects more naturally to the dashboard than the floating design before it. The shift lever is now replaced with a sweet vertical bank of PRND buttons and one set aside for the one-pedal driving mode. The cabin features showcase Chevy’s user profile system which accommodates perfectly for multiple driver preferences. It includes detailed menus for closely monitoring the energy impact of various vehicle systems, charge scheduling, and the ability to limit the charge level to maximize battery health over an extended time.
Many new EV buyers will be excited to hear that home charging is going to get potentially faster with this year’s upgrade to 11.5-kW Level 2 charging! It reduces the time to around seven hours instead of the ten-hour estimate if you plug in the dual-level charging cord directly into a NEMA 14-50 outlet. The Sport mode is what the testing staff on duty at Cnet.com thought was vigorously prepared for audiences with 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of instant electric torque, feeling fantastic off the line in either mode. Each 2022 Bolt comes standard with a rear-view camera, forward pre-collision alerts with pedestrian detection, lane-departure alerts and automatic high beams.
