Competitive Sales Comparison (USA)
Chevy Bolt family sales continued a year-long upward trajectory during the second quarter of 2023, leaping 101 percent to move 13,959 units for a solid 26 percent segment share. The results enabled the Bolts to lead the mainstream EV segment even as more competitors entered the field.
The Bolt EV (see running Bolt EV sales) placed fifth with a 113 percent sales leap to 5,441 units, while the Bolt EUV (see running Bolt EUV sales) took second with a 94 percent jump to 8,518 units. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (see running Ford Mustang Mach-E sales) took first place this quarter with a 21 percent dip to 8,633 units and just 115 deliveries ahead of the Bolt EUV. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 crossover placed third with a six percent bump to 7,905 units, followed by the Volkswagen ID.4 in fourth with a 303 percent leap to 6,690 units. The Kia EV6, the Ioniq 5’s corporate cousin and platform mate, placed sixth with a 32 percent drop to 4,936 units, while the Hyundai Ioniq 6 sedan took seventh place with 3,023 deliveries. Nissan’s two entries followed in eighth and ninth, respectively, with the Ariya posting 2,335 deliveries and the Leaf earning 1,880 sales. The new Toyota bZ4X saw 1,961 deliveries and the related Subaru Solterra posted 1,613 deliveries. These two crossovers were developed jointly, sharing the same platform.

From a segment share standpoint, the Bolt EUV earned a 16 percent share, while the Bolt EV posted a 10 percent share, for a combined 26 percent segment share. The Mustang Mach-E held a 16 percent share like the Bolt EUV. The Ioniq 5 posted a 15 percent share, followed by the ID.4 with 13 percent, the EV6 with nine percent, and the Ioniq 6 with six percent. The Ariya, Leaf, and bZ4X all earned a four percent share, while the Solterra posted a share of three percent.
The mainstream EV segment accounted for 52,935 deliveries during Q2 2023, growing a healthy 40 percent year-over-year, meaning that the 101 percent improvement in Bolt family sales significantly outperformed the segment average.
The two Chevy Bolt models compete in the mainstream electric vehicles (EV) passenger cars segment, in which we currently include all mainstream (non-luxury) BEVs including crossovers, hatchbacks, and sedans. As more EVs enter the market, there will enough similar vehicle types competing against each other to warrant a specific segment. At that time, we will break these out for more specific sales comparisons. Beyond the mainstream EV segment being discussed here, the remaining EV segment is the premium EV market that contains models from Tesla, Audi, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lucid, Cadillac, Jaguar and Genesis. Accordingly, we are not including Tesla models in the mainstream EV passenger car segment sales analysis, since they are premium/luxury models.
It’s also worth noting that Hyundai and Kia offer electric vehicles that also include variants with an internal combustion engine (ICE) and/or hybrid (HEV) and/or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version. That includes the Hyundai Kona and Hyundai Ioniq (without a number), along with the Kia Niro. Consequently these models do not offer a direct comparison to the Chevy Bolt family. As a result, these particular Hyundai and Kia models are now no longer included in our analysis. A related Hyundai model, the similarly named Ioniq 5, is all-electric, replacing the original Ioniq. While the Ioniq 5 is a crossover the similarly named Ioniq 6 is an all-electric sedan.
The GM Authority Take
Chevy Bolt family sales continued to lead the segment in Q2 2023 with a 26 percent share. The performance represents a full year that the duo has remained at the top of the mainstream EV segment, even as competitors continue to enter the space to increase the field to 11 models.
We posit that Bolt sales will continue at the levels recorded during the second quarter of 2023 or even higher, as demand for the models is high and supply is the primary limiting factor behind the duo earning even more deliveries.
About Bolt EV
The 2023 Chevy Bolt EV receives only minor changes over the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV.
In November, the Chevy Bolt EV received the 2023 U.S. ALG Residual Value Award along with two more models from GM – the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and 2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup.
However, in March the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV ranked significantly below the segment average in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. EV Experience Ownership Study. Additionally, Chevy took last place in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience Home Charging Study, which measures customer satisfaction with permanently mounted Level 2 home electric vehicle charging stations.
Furthermore, in April the Chevy Bolt EV was recognized as a 2023 AAA Car Guide winner by the Automobile Association of America in its small vehicle category.
About Bolt EUV
The 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV gets notable changes over the inaugural 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV, namely a new Redline Edition and limited expansion of Super Cruise driving coverage.
Last fall, the Chevy Bolt EUV received top marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), specifically a five-star Overall Safety Rating, the highest score awarded by the agency.
However, in March the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV ranked significantly below the segment average in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. EV Experience Ownership Study. Additionally, Chevy took last place in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience Home Charging Study, which measures customer satisfaction with permanently mounted Level 2 home electric vehicle charging stations.
Furthermore, in December Kelley Blue Book voted the 2023 Bolt EUV as the best new EV priced under $35,000.
In the biggest news yet, GM announced that the 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV set a 560-mile range world record in Brazil where it was recently launched.
In May Kelley Blue Book reported that the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV are the least expensive EVs to own over the span of five years in their respective category.
Both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ride on the GM BEV2 platform and utilize the same single-drive electric motor, which produces 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, driving the front wheels. It’s fed by a 65 kWh lithium-ion battery, which provides 259 miles of range per charge for the Bolt EV and 247 miles for the Bolt EUV.
The Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV currently serve as GM’s entry-level all-electric vehicles, offering zero local emissions and surprising practicality, all at an affordable price point. While The General initially confirmed that production of the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV will officially come to an end later this year, GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed during a Q2 2023 earnings report presentation that a next-generation Chevy Bolt is on the way after all. The automaker plans on “updating the vehicle with Ultium and Ultifi technologies,” Barra said during the earnings call, though the next-gen Chevy Bolt won’t be a clean-sheet redesign.
“Our customers love today’s Bolt,” Mary Barra was quoted as saying. “It has been delivering record sales in some of the highest customer satisfaction and loyalty scores in the industry. It’s also an important source of conquest sales for the company and for Chevy, as more than 70 percent of customers are new to GM.”
2024 Chevy Blazer EV SS and 2024 Chevy Equinox EV 3LT
Meanwhile, Chevy is launching other all-new battery electric crossovers, namely the first-ever 2024 Chevy Equinox EV and first-ever 2024 Chevy Blazer EV.
In fact, GM has already started building Equinox EV units. The Equinox EV will feature as standard a single Ultium Drive electric motor powering the front wheels, rated at 210 horsepower and 242 pound-feet of torque. An optional ‘eAWD’ system will also be offered, rated at 290 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. In February the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV began road testing.
While the mainstream EV segment continues to expand, GM has a sales champ on its hands with its two Chevy Bolt models – so much so that the automaker has committed to updating the Bolt with its Ultium battery technology.

Chevy Trax EV with AWD would be great replacement for bolt
The Bolt family leads the pack, but in fact they have only a skimpy 2% lead over the two Korean sisters.
The Bolt is the best car Chevrolet has built to date. The sales figures are impressive even though availability is repressed. I hope the Ultium battery package is going to live up to the hype.
And just when volume finally picks up on one of the only truly affordable EV’s, GM will discontinue for expensive Ultium based products produced in cottage car industry-esque numbers…
And to add insult to injury, GM is taking away Apple Car a play and Android Auto connectivity. It seems we’re back to the early 2000s with having to use perennially outdated GPS maps and lousy user interface. The only difference is the stale updates will be delivered over an add-on expense of a 4G vehicle connection instead of a DVD.
The ability to use Car Play is one of the major reasons I got my Bolt in 2017. I guess I’ll be hanging onto it a while longer. So far the battey is in good condition and the sheetmetal still is rust free.
Yeah, I’m bummed too about their decision to not have CarPlay, but this isn’t like old fashioned systems.
GM is going to use Android Automotive which will use Google Maps for the navigation, and have access to the google play store for other apps.
I’ve used the similar system in Volvo and Polestar and it was very decent. But they also added CarPlay support via an OTA update eventually.
GM still has time to reverse their decision.
Thanks for clearing that up. Apologies for the pessimistic assumption. I sure hope GM recants the decision and adds back Car Play.
rEVolutionary: I think you and I have commented on this before if not mistaken. Anyhow, with me working at a Volvo store, I just can’t agree with you on their system. I hate it. I’m often in 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 grand Volvo’s where I have to drive them anywhere from 5 to as far as 140 miles to deliver them. So I have a lot of wheel time in them as well as the training and just the time playing around with the system. It’s so bad that I would decide to NOT get a Volvo just based on that alone. Funny thing is that I get out of those way more expensive vehicles and back into my humbly priced 2023 Bolt and find the screen/infotainment system superior in every way. And yes, I use my CarPlay every day.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion about the system. But I’ve read many positive reviews about it. And I think people should experience it themselves before passing judgement.
As an Apple geek and someone very embedded into the Apple ecosystem, I am bummed that Apple hasn’t moved faster to get their new CarPlay integration rolled out faster and to more automakers.
No system is perfect though and while for example many people really love the Tesla UI and claim it’s the best in the marketplace, I could give a long list of things that bug me about it.
All I can say is that I am truly impressed with my 2023 Bolt EV. Range is better than the sticker says and better than many more expensive EV’s. I enjoy the ride, handling, quiet, road feel and low cost of ownership. It really has a great outward view which makes it safer to drive. It has a lot of great features for the money too. I do wish the seats were more comfortable like the seats my Malibu had and that they would paint the entire car instead of putting the unpainted black plastic all around it. But I accept those two negatives because the rest of the car is that good.
I am looking forward to seeing what GM/Chevy comes up with for the next Bolt.
The range was true on the VOLT gen 1 too. Here 10 years later and 120k miles of which 105k are EV on my 2014, I am still getting 40s on typical roads and less on hilly parkways I drive daily. I think GM built in better tha the ratings unlike Tesla that seems to short change it. I expect the ultium tech to be equal or better and the sizing of the battery range.
imanjunk: Wow, that’s really impressive for 120K on your car. To this day, I still shake my head that GM invested SOOOOOOOO much into the Volt, then perfected it just to kill it (GM is great at this by the way)!! I do love my Bolt, but like so many I do feel “limited” to where and how I can drive. For 95% of my driving, it’s perfect. But I don’t feel confident in driving it back to IL (from CA) or even to visit my sister in Montana. I don’t want to have to plan that much and when I travel, I prefer to drive till I’m ready to stop. One day that may be 300 miles. Then next day it may be 900 miles. I could do that in a Volt or PHEV, but not so much in my Bolt. So if GM still had the Volt or something similar (Ahem, the Buick Velite 5 or 6), I would absolutely have purchased that instead of the Bolt.
Same thing in the non hybrid/EV segment. GM inexplicably killed the Cruze which was actually a pretty decent car, only to turn over the Ohio plant that built the Cruze to an electric pickup truck venture which seems to be belly-up.
According to the June 4, 2023 GMA article the Bolt EV and EUV sold 19700 units in Q1 2023
“Cumulative deliveries of the Chevy Bolt family in the United States increased to 19,700 units in Q1 2023, comprised of:
6,892 units of the Bolt EV compared to 72 units sold in Q1 2022 and
12,808 units of the Bolt EUV compared to 286 units sold in Q1 2022”
Today’s article says that the combined EV / EUV total for Q2 2023 was 13959 units, a DECREASE of 5741 units and 29% LOWER than Q1 2023 volume. Seems like this statistic should have been addressed in the article, did the Bolt market share go down or did EV sales in general decrease?
I’m starting to see small numbers of Bolts plying the streets where I live. It seems like there are finally enough EVs in circulation that some of the myths are being busted when people see their neighbors liking their EVs.
I was at a meeting just the other day where a couple of people were chit chatting about how they couldn’t get EVs because they couldn’t afford to spend thousands for a “charger” on top of paying for the car. (Not sure if GM still has the program to subsidize EVSE installation.) I’ve owned an EV since 2014, originally a used LEAF, and charged the cars by for years plugging the cord supplied with the car into a regular two prong 120 volt outlet when aI got home. Only the last few years have I had a 240 volt outlet for charging. With the exception of apartment dwellers and some renters who don’t have access to outlets, the EV paradigm is different with no need to fill up the energy all at once. In fact charging slowly and not filling the battery all the way makes the battery last longer. Plugging in, in my garage, is a hell of a lot more convenient than having to deal with gas stations.
Bill: On the same note, the other thing I find people saying (against getting an EV) is that they seem to think that they need to plug in and charge every day. Why? When I tell them that I drive an average of 37 miles per day and plug in normally twice per week just to “top it off”, they look at me kind a funny. Of course some people drive a lot of miles and they would need to charge more often. But the average person drives about 40 miles per day. Simple math: 259 range divided by 40 miles per day = 6.4 days worth of driving. These same people don’t stop and fill their gas tank every day do they? No.
So you are spot on when you say the myths are being busted. Correct information and a little experience is all it takes.
Good point. In the early days, it was kind of nerve wracking with the used Nissan LEAF I had because it only had about 70 miles of driving range left by the time I bought it. It was fine for around town, but long trips were out of the question and charging every night was a necessity. It is no big deal to go a few days in the Bolt.
The Bolt is never an issue with how far it can go, with range for pretty much anywhere I normally drive within the state. I’ve never had the Bolt deliver less than the promised range of 259 miles. I just took a trip to the grocery store about an hour ago and the range estimate was 308 miles available from 80% charge.
I did the math and with the cost of electricity where I live, the cost per mile of driving the Bolt is the equivalent of a gas powered car which gets about 140 MPG.
The styling of the Bolt is pretty average and it looks very similar to quite a few small “CUV” type hatchback cars. I’m to the point where I’m not trying to make a statement with my car. As long as the car is reliable, economical and holds all my stuff then I’m OK with it. The Bolt is quite spacious for its size and has a surprising amount of cargo space when the rear seat is folded down.
Bill: Talking about range, you seem to be having the same good range that I also have. As the weather warmed up (yes, I do live in a mild climate area of southern California), my range at 100% was over 300, so I put it down to 90% max charge. Even then I was still around 290 +/- and my miles per KWH have been 4.5 and is now 4.6 average over 7500 miles. Last week I decided to put it back to 100% max charge just to see where it’s now at and today I charged it to 100% just in case with hurricane Hilary coming into our area. When I got in the car after work, it was at 337 miles!! My drive home is 15 miles total and when I parked it still said 331 miles. I’m loving that.
Thanks for the information and best wishes for weathering the storm. It sounds like things could be dicey for SoCal and Catalina.
The market segment used is a bit weird and arbitrary. Claim not include Tesla because their models are in the “premium/luxury” EV segment, and yet 3/Y are similarly priced to other models you include in the “mainstream” EV segment. You leave off Niro EV and Kona EV because they also make gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions of those. But you could still compare plug-in version sales. As Niro/Kona are small hatchback EVs like the Bolt and closer in price than your other models.
Starting MSRP of Bolt:
Bolt ($27.5k-$30.7k) [tax credit]
Bolt EUV ($28.8k-$33.3k) [tax credit]
Starting MSRPs of the models GMA included:
Mach-E ($45k-$67k) [tax credit]
Kia EV6 ($44k-$63k) [no tax credit]
Hyundai IONIQ 5 ($43k-$54k) [no tax credit]
Hyundai IONIQ 6 ($43k-$54k) [no tax credit]
Nissan Ariya ($44.5k-$61.5k) [no tax credit]
Subaru Solterra ($46k-$53k) [no tax credit]
Toyota BZ4X ($43.5k-$48k) [no tax credit]
Nissan Leaf ($29k-$37k) [no tax credit]
All these EVs above, except the Leaf, are priced in the premium segment and I would argue often better than the Tesla model 3/Y in terms of “premium”.
Starting MSRP of models arbitrarily excluded “premium” EVs:
Tesla Model 3 ($45k-$52k) [tax credit]
Tesla Model Y ($49-$56k) [tax credit]
Starting MSRPs of models arbitrarily excluded:
Kia Niro EV ($41k-$46k) [no tax credit]
Hyundai Kona EV ($35k-$45k) [no tax credit]
GMA needs to rethink their so-called “mainstream” EV segment.
The Bolt is a good product but…just to paint a more complete picture:
“Hertz spokesperson Lauren Luster said the company expects to have about 10,000 GM EVs in its fleet by year-end 2023 and will continue to steadily take delivery of a range of EV models from GM in 2024 and beyond. The Chevy Silverado and Cadillac Lyriq EVs will be available for rent at Hertz beginning later this fall, she said.
Last fall (2022), Hertz said it planned to buy Chevrolet Bolt EVs and Bolt EUVs in the first quarter of this year.”

Uh, why isn’t Tesla in the list? And isn’t it gm now, not GM?
