EV News World. Here is the full article on the Chevrolet Bolt electric car. With details, specifications, and history. Wikipedia article: “The Chevrolet Bolt is a five-seat B-segment electric minivan manufactured by American manufacturer General Motors, under the Chevrolet brand. It was unveiled at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It was initially marketed in California in 2016 and worldwide in 2017. It was the second best-selling electric car in the United States during 2017, totaling 112,000 units sold by the end of 2020. The Bolt experienced failures in the energy storage system, with some units spontaneously catching fire. As a result, General Motors advises parking the car outdoors, away from other vehicles. In 2023, the company announced it would discontinue production of the vehicle.”

00:00The Chevrolet Bolt
00:08Not to be confused with the Chevrolet Bolt EUV or the Chevrolet Volt
00:15The Chevrolet Bolt EV, marketed in Europe as Opel Ampera E, is a battery electric subcompact hatchback
00:24manufactured and marketed by General Motors under its Chevrolet brand from late 2016 until late 2023
00:34with a brief hiatus between mid-2021 and early 2022
00:41The first generation Bolt was developed and manufactured with LG Corporation
00:48Sales of the 2017 Bolt began in California in December 2016
00:55It was released nationwide and international markets released in 2017
01:03A rebadged European variant was marketed as the Opel Ampera E in mainland Europe
01:11In 2017, the Bolt was the second best-selling plug-in car in the United States
01:18It was named the 2017 Motor Trend Car of the Year
01:24The 2017 North American Car of the Year
01:28An Automobile Magazine 2017 All-Star
01:35And was listed in Time Magazine's Best 25 Inventions of 2016
01:43The Ampera E was discontinued after 2018
01:48By the end of 2020, GM has sold 112,000 Bolt and Ampera E cars worldwide
01:57The first generation Bolt had been subject to at least three recalls due to battery fire risks
02:05In mid-2023, GM officials said they would discontinue the Bolt
02:12After outcry, they announced plans for a next generation model
02:19Which is expected to be revealed in 2025 for model year 2026
02:26History
02:28Development
02:30GM Korea began developing the Bolt in 2012
02:35With a team of 180 people
02:38With the project code G2KCZ
02:43G2 for Gamma
02:45Second Generation Platform
02:47K for Hatchback
02:49C for Chevrolet
02:50And Z for Electric Car
02:53Its initial concept debuted at the 2015 North American International Auto Show
02:59As of June 2015, GM had tested more than 50 hand-built Bolt prototypes at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan
03:13The cars were tested at Proving Grounds and overseas for ride and handling dynamics, cabin comfort, quietness, charging capability, and energy efficiency
03:26Alan Beatty
03:28Alan Beatty, head of General Motors North America, announced in February 2015 that the Bolt EV was headed for production
03:37And would be available in all 50 states
03:41GM also has plans to sell the Bolt in select global markets
03:46In January 2016, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas
03:52The production version of the Chevrolet Bolt was unveiled
03:57During GM CEO Mary Barris' keynote at the show
04:04Chevrolet confirmed an estimated range of 200 miles, 320 kilometers or more
04:11An approximate $30,000 price tag after government incentives
04:18And stated it would be available in late 2016
04:22Barra projected in February 2016 that the European version marketed as the Opel Ampera E or Vauxhall Ampera E in the United Kingdom would enter production in 2017
04:38In March 2016, GM released photos and a short pre-production video of the Bolt at the company's Orion assembly plant outside Detroit, testing manufacturing and tooling
04:56The car's user interface was developed in Israel
05:00Profitability
05:02Profitability
05:03An unnamed source cited by Bloomberg News estimated that General Motors is expected to take a loss of $8,000 to $9,000 per Bolt sold
05:14A GM spokesman declined to comment about expected profitability
05:20Opel refuted that in December 2016 and stated that GM has battery-cell costs of $130 per kWh
05:32And industry is not yet optimized for mass production
05:36A UBS tear-down in 2017 suggested slightly smaller losses per vehicle
05:43Of $7,400 on a base spec or $5,500 on a higher spec vehicle
05:53They estimate that by 2025 the Bolt will make profit of about $6,000 per vehicle
06:01Production
06:03Final assembly took place at GM's Orion assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan
06:10Which received a $160 million upgrade for Bolt production
06:16Manufacture of the battery, motor and drive unit started in August 2016 at LG Incheon, South Korea
06:27The car is designed for flexible production by having some of the battery in the same position as the fuel tank in internal combustion engine powered cars
06:38And is made on the same assembly line as the Chevrolet Sonic at a combined rate of $90,000 per year
06:46Although the car is assembled near Detroit it has only 20% domestic parts content
06:53Analysts expected Bolt production at $22,000 per year and Empera E at a few thousand
07:01Production may increase to $30,000 to $50,000 per year according to demand
07:08Regular production was expected to begin in October 2016 at $25,000 to $30,000 the first year
07:17Initial regular production had begun by early November 2016 at a rate of $9,000 per hour
07:25Gradually increasing to $30,000 per hour
07:29Retail deliveries began in California in December 2016
07:34Bolt production was halted in August 23, 2021
07:38While battery production was redirected to replacements under a recall affecting 140,000 Bolt EVs that had been produced up to that time
07:49Production was not restarted until April 4, 2022
07:54Recalls
07:56In November 2020, 50,932 Chevrolet Bolt vehicles of model year 2017-2019 were recalled due to potential fire risk
08:08According to GM, these vehicles contained high voltage batteries produced at LG Chem Ocon's plant that may pose a risk of fire when charged to full or very close to full capacity
08:24As a precautionary measure
08:27Chevrolet issued software updates that allowed dealers to install a battery charge limit of 90% to their existing inventory
08:35While urging current 2017-2019 Chevy Bolt owners to enable the hilltop reserve option 2017-2018 model year
08:48Or to set the vehicle target charge level 2019-2022 model year to 90%
08:56A final software update was expected to remedy the charging capacity to 100% sometime in April 2021
09:05As of November 2020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had confirmed five known fires with two injuries
09:13And recommends parking recalled vehicles outside, away from homes until they have been repaired
09:20On August 20, 2021, Chevrolet extended the recall to include all Bolt models, both EV and EUV
09:30And model years 2017-2022
09:35Totaling the number of recalled Chevy Bolt cars to nearly 142,000
09:40GM will replace the recalled vehicles batteries, citing manufacturing defects by its partner LG
09:49Which could be responsible for the shorting of deficient battery cells
09:54Amid further investigation, GM says it will ramp up production of replacement battery cells with LG Chem
10:04While seeking reimbursement for the recall from the manufacturer
10:09As GM expects the expense to be $1.8 billion
10:14LG Chem had to pay $1.9 billion to GM
10:19Some of the recalled battery packs were repurposed in great batteries
10:25Cars which have the battery replacement recall done have the 259-mile, 417-kilometer range of the 2020 and up Bolt
10:39And the new batteries were warranted for 8 years from the date of installation
10:46Discontinuation and planned revival
10:50In January of 2022, GM announced that the Orion Township factory would be retooled at a cost of $4 billion
10:58To produce Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV pickup trucks starting in 2024
11:08The affordable segment targeted by the Bolt was expected to be filled by the Chevrolet Equinox EV
11:15As GM shifts its EV to Ultium 3rd generation battery technology
11:22On April 25, 2023, GM CEO Mary Barra said that the Bolt and Bolt EUV would be discontinued at the end of 2023
11:33To make room for GM's new generation of electric vehicles
11:38The announcement drew public outcry
11:41On July 25, 2023, Barra said there were plans for a second generation Bolt
11:48Using Ultium hardware and Ultify software
11:53Plans for this new Bolt only include the Bolt EUV body style
11:58GM ended Bolt production on December 20, 2023
12:05Revival
12:072025
12:08Chevrolet will manufacture a second generation Bolt EUV in 2025 for the 2026 model year
12:15Unlike the first generation, it will not be sold alongside the hatchback Bolt EV
12:21It will be built on the GM Ultium platform
12:26Design
12:282017 through 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV
12:34There are some photos front and front point in San Francisco
12:39The rear and the dashboard and the cargo area are shown
12:44The Bolt was designed from 2012 by a team of 180 people at GM Korea
13:00As a B-segment entry on its own platform, the GM BEV2
13:06It does not share elements with the GM Gamma platform cars like the Chevrolet Sonic or Spark
13:13The EPA classifies the Bolt as a small station wagon
13:18With less than 130 cubic feet, thus 3681.2 liters of interior volume
13:26GM refers to the Bolt as a crossover and puts it under the category of SUV on its website
13:34The passenger volume is 94 cubic feet, 2700 liters
13:41And cargo space is 27 cubic feet, 480 liters or 381 liter
13:51The Bolt's door, tailgate and hood are aluminum
13:56The driver can adjust the level of regenerative braking as the accelerator pedal is lifted
14:03The front seats are asymmetrical to maximize cabin volume while accommodating airbags
14:10GM planned for over-the-air software updates during 2017
14:14But the feature was finally released to the Bolt in April 2018
14:20Pre-production name confusion
14:23In 2015 Chevrolet acknowledged confusion between the two vehicles with similar sounding names
14:29The Bolt and the Volt
14:32Chevrolet's marketing chief Tim Mahoney subsequently announced GM would keep the Bolt name
14:38Autoblog projected similar confusion among European customers
14:43Where the Opel Ampera E, the Bolt variant, is just one letter off from the Opel Ampera
14:50The previous generation Chevrolet Volt sold in Europe
14:53Suggesting the names could confuse customers who think the new all-electric hatchback is closely related to the old plug-in hybrid hatchback
15:02Tata Motors has had a car named Bolt on the market since 2014
15:12And has registered the trademark in India and other countries
15:17Cruise AV Autonomous Vehicle
15:22There's two photos of the Cruise AVs in San Francisco
15:27G2 named Kraken and an unnamed G3
15:32The Cruise AV is a Bolt EV based autonomous vehicle developed and tested by Cruise Automation
15:39whose majority owner is General Motors
15:42GM acquired Cruise in March 2016
15:46Pre-production versions of the Bolt EV were built at Orion Assembly in March 2016
15:54and sent to Cruise which modified the cars by adding sensors in San Francisco
16:00The modified pre-production vehicles were photographed in San Francisco in May
16:0550 of these first-generation G1 Bolt EV based Cruise AVs were tested from June 2016 in the San Francisco Bay Area and Scottsdale, Arizona
16:19After its acquisition by GM in March 2016
16:24Cruise began working with GM engineers to develop the second-generation G2 Cruise AV
16:30which would be assembled alongside regular production Bolt EVs at Orion Assembly
16:36The G1 Cruise AV has two roof-mounted LiDAR sensors
16:41four small round headlights
16:44and the Chevrolet bow tie logo on the front grille
16:48while the G2 has five LiDARs and the same styling as the regular production Bolt
16:55A fleet of 130 G2 Cruise AVs were completed by June 2017
17:02with an expanded, better integrated sensor suite
17:06The G2 and G3 Cruise AVs are equipped with five roof-mounted LiDARs
17:1216 cameras and 21 radars
17:16both long and short-range as well as articulating
17:20The first G1 Cruise AV was retired and sent to the Henry Ford Museum in March 2019
17:29A prototype third-generation G3 Cruise AV was shown in September 2017
17:36Cruise CEO Kyle Vaught said the G3 AV was designed to incorporate redundant systems
17:44and was ready to be scaled up for mass production at the Orion Township factory
17:50In addition, the G3 AV uses fault-tolerant electrical communication and actuation systems
18:00unique to the automated vehicle and not shared with the Bolt EV
18:06With the completion of the 50 G3 Cruise AVs in Fall 2017
18:12GM now considers the vehicle a separate model from the Bolt
18:16Externally, the G3 Cruise AV may be distinguished from the G2
18:22by the color of the rooftop sensor package
18:26black on the G2, white on the G3
18:30and the two articulating radars on the G2
18:34these are black and replaced the side rear view mirrors on the G2
18:40on the G3 these are white and mounted just above the front wheels
18:46Members of the press were invited to ride in a G2 Cruise AV in November 2017
18:54they reported the choices made by the car's programming were conservative
19:00but the self-driving system had minimal disengagement over the short 2.4 to 3 mile
19:063.9 to 4.8 kilometer trips
19:10In January 2018, Cruise showed renderings of a prototype of its planned 4th generation G4 AV
19:16which removed the traditional driver's controls
19:20such as the steering wheel and pedals
19:22and largely retained the external features of the G2
19:26but further development of the G4 Cruise AV was cancelled
19:30to concentrate on their next generation autonomous vehicle
19:34the Origin
19:36which was unveiled in January 2020
19:40and lacks driver controls entirely
19:44The Origin is scheduled to be introduced in January 2023
19:48Cruise received approval to test cars without safety drivers on public roads in October 2020
19:58The first SAE Level 4 vehicles tested by Cruise were G3 AVs
20:04The safety driver was relegated to the passenger's right-hand front seat
20:10and did not have access to the traditional controls
20:14Later in 2021, a G2 Cruise AV nicknamed Poppy
20:20was filmed in a short promotional video while undergoing testing in San Francisco
20:26The California Public Utilities Commission approved Cruise's application in June 2022
20:32With the permit, Cruise plans to start offering driverless revenue taxi services in San Francisco with Cruise AVs
20:46Refresh 2022-2023
20:50Updated 2022 Bolt EV
20:52There's a front view and a rear view
20:54For the 2022 model year
20:56For the 2022 model year
20:58the Bolt received the front and rear styling revisions
21:02along with a revised interior
21:04The front end
21:06carries new headlights
21:08along with a new Fox grille
21:10and trim
21:12The taillights and the tailgate hatch
21:14also differ slightly
21:16from the previous model
21:18Inside
21:19Inside
21:20the shifter was replaced
21:21with gear shifter buttons
21:23and the seats were upgraded
21:25and now are slightly larger
21:27with more padding
21:29The interior received a larger info screen
21:33In addition
21:34the electronics were updated
21:36with new software
21:37and the L2 charging system
21:40was increased
21:41to allow charging
21:42at 48 amps
21:44up from 32 amps
21:46Dimensions of the vehicle
21:48remain unchanged
21:50GM also began selling

38:23In South Korea, General Motors opened the order books on March 18, 2017, and all 400 units of the first allotment were sold out in two hours.
38:34European Countries.
38:36The European version began production in February 2017.
38:39The Ampera-E launch in the Norwegian market was scheduled for April 2017, when 13 were registered.
38:49Deliveries to retail customers began on May 17, 2017.
38:53Over 4,000 cars were ordered in Norway, with some to be delivered in 2018.
39:00Registrations totaled 1,121 units in 2017.
39:04There are a couple of photos of the Ampera-E, one in Germany, front view and rear view.
39:14European Discontinuation Controversy.
39:17The Ampera-E was first offered for sale in Norway, the first country in Europe where it was marketed,
39:23at a starting price of 299,900KRs, that's 33,500 Euros, in December 2016, higher than that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3.
39:39Availability was limited, as the Ampera-E and Bolt both were assembled at the same Orion Township factory.
39:46Three months later, in March 2017, Group PSA agreed to acquire Opel, the English twin-sister brand Vauxhall,
39:56and the European auto-leading business from General Motors, as GM exited the European market.
40:03The acquisition was completed in November.
40:06By October 2017, European sales had expanded into Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany.
40:13There were 4,000 to 5,000 orders for the Ampera-E in Norway alone, which has a population of 5.2 million.
40:25However, dealers in Europe were asked to completely stop accepting the orders for the Opel Ampera-E at the same time
40:33as the entire annual allotment for Europe had been sold, and the earliest possible delivery date was pushed to 2019.
40:42The starting price was raised to 46,699 Euros in November.
40:50The fact that Opel was limiting orders of the Ampera-E in Norway, its most promising market,
40:57led to speculation that GM was planning to discontinue the model in Europe.
41:01GM previously had been accused of purposely sabotaging the EV1 program,
41:08most notably in the 2006 documentary film Who Killed the Electric Car.
41:12In February 2018, it was reported that 1971 Opel Ampera-E had been sold in Europe to date.
41:25Deliveries in Norway trickled at fewer than 100 units per month in 2018.
41:31For comparison, in 2018, the Hyundai Kona Electric, equipped with a 64 kWh battery and offering comparable range to the Ampera-E,
41:43was offered for sale in Norway.
41:46The entire yearly allotment, 2,500 vehicles, was sold out almost instantly.
41:51In 2018, it was virtually impossible to order the car in Europe, although in November 2018,
41:59it was reported to be on sale in the Netherlands for 46,699 Euros,
42:06possibly as a way to reduce overall emissions of the cars sold by Opel Vauxhall.
42:13Sales records show that, as of February 2019, fewer than 5,000 Ampera-E vehicles were ever delivered in the entirety of Europe.
42:24Even though the Ampera-E could be ordered and bought in the Netherlands in 2019,
42:31its steep price was still an issue.
