Chevy Bolt EV set to launch later this year
The Chevrolet Bolt battery-electric hatchback will be launched in the US later this year. General Motors engineers have been seen testing early build versions of the car in the Detroit area. The vehicle can drive over 200 miles on one charge and will cost $30,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit.

The Chevrolet Bolt battery-electric hatchback is on track to be launched late this year, Chevrolet confirmed Monday, countering recent reports on various media and enthusiast websites that the car would be delayed for six months.

Chevrolet spokesman Fred Ligouri says the Bolt program remains on schedule, with U.S. sales slated to begin by year end.

“We’re on the same timeline we’ve always communicated. … Retail production of the 2017 Bolt EV begins later this year, and it will be in dealer showrooms shortly thereafter.”
