General Motors cuts planned Chevrolet Bolt production by about 75%.
A United Auto Workers official said GM's Kansas City-area plant is now on pace to build about 35,000 Chevrolet Bolt EVs before production ends in the first quarter of 2027, versus roughly 150,000 previously planned.

GM declined to confirm a production figure and said it continually evaluates demand. The updated Bolt starts at $27,600, and GM sold 4,224 units through August after positioning the vehicle as a limited-run affordable EV.
The lower output delayed the return of a second shift, leaving nearly 1,000 employees on indefinite layoff, according to the union official. The plant is scheduled to add gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox and Buick Envision production next year.
