The first three 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EVs were officially delivered a few weeks ago, and demand seems to be healthy according to the brand.
Inside EVs reports the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is beginning to arrive as traditional inventory at Oregon and California-based dealerships. Chevrolet spokesperson, Fred Ligouri, said additional Bolt EVs have indeed been sold since the first deliveries as well.
“In addition to the three cars delivered to customers, 17 dealer demos were delivered last Tuesday to San Francisco area dealers. We’ve since sold additional Bolt EVs. We have begun filling dealer orders and are working quickly to satisfy demand.”
Following its west coast launch, the 2017 Bolt EV will make its way to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Ligouri provided a few specifics, stating New York, Massachusetts and Virginia will see initial deliveries during winter of 2017.
We won’t know just how many Bolt EVs Chevrolet was able to move during December until the first week of January, but the brand does seem pleased thus far.

They may be “Trying” but there are cars that have been ordered like mine sitting at the GM Center in Mira Loma awaiting some inspection and not making it to customers – Maybe even until after New Years (according to the Dealer).
My Bolt arrived at Mira Loma before Christmas. They should not be doing any QC at Mira Loma, AFAIK it’s just a transfer station. According to my dealership I should expect it to be delivered in 2-3 days from when it arrived, which accounting for the holiday, would be today or tomorrow. Is anyone hearing anything similar (or different) about their orders?
Anything less than 100K cars per year is a failure.
There are a lot failures out there. Some year-end total units are such ‘failures’ that they could only do a quarter of that number….and yet some automakers keep foolishly producing them year after year!
Tesla has 400K units of the Model 3 pre-ordered. GM’s target for the Bolt for 2017 is a measly 20-30K units. This doesn’t demonstrates seriousness from GM to be in this market.
Rydell Chevrolet in the LA area has 68 ordered and still in transit. The car salesman says it’s a 3 month wait for customer orders.
Seems like GM are treating the Bolt still as a compliance EV, especially if they’re making a significant loss on each vehicle.
I ordered mine on 10/4 and was told due to the holidays, mine should arrive early to mid next week.
