The GM Authority Take

The Bolt EV continues to rack up sales (albeit still in relatively small numbers compared to other mainstream Chevrolet models) and set new sales records. In fact, it has set a new U.S. sales record in each of the last eight months. We expect sales of the electric vehicle to continue growing over the next several months as availability and consumer awareness continues to increase. We are also hearing that the Bolt is a major conquest champion, with a significant amount of buyers being non-Chevrolet customers.

Notably, the Bolt outsold Chevy’s other new energy vehicle – the Chevrolet Volt, as well as the Volkswagen e-Golf, BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf. Notably, the Leaf’s depressed sales volume is the result of the launch process associated with the market introduction of the second generation model.

About Chevrolet Bolt EV

2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV exterior 2017 NAIAS 003

The Bolt EV is the first mass-produced, all-electric vehicle from GM’s Chevrolet brand. The small EV went on sale in December 2016 as a 2017 model in two launch states (California and Oregon) as production of the vehicle was being ramped up. In August 2017, the Bolt became available nationwide across the U.S., which is a full month ahead of schedule.

For its second, 2018 model year, the Bolt EV receives a handful of small changes that consist of replacing the heated steering wheel with the automatic heated steering wheel as a standalone option and on the Comfort & Convenience Package, and deleting the front passenger seatback map pocket as standard equipment on 2LT trim level.

Currently, the Bolt EV is built exclusively at the GM Orion Assembly factory in Michigan.

    1. I noticed that the Model S had a very slow start too. The Model S really didn’t start producing in large numbers (over a thousand) until the 7th month. Look at the 2012 chart toward the bottom of the page here: insideevs dot com / monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard
