Chevrolet has slashed prices for the 2023 Bolt EV and EUV at a time when prices for most new cars are soaring to record heights. Obviously eager to encourage sales of the two electric vehicles after a disastrous 2021 plagued by recalls, General Motors has announced that the 2023 Bolt EV will start at US$ 26,595 including destination, a cool US$ 5,900 less than the 2022 model. Prices for the 2023 Bolt EUV have also fallen by US$ 6,300 to US$ 28,195. Two variants of the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV are available. While the entry-level EV 1LT starts at US$ 29,595, those after a little more luxury can opt for the 2LT, set to start at US$ 29,795, also US$ 5,900 less than last year. As for the Bolt EUV, its entry-level LT is joined by the Premier starting at US$ 32,695.
Speaking of the price cuts, a General
Motors spokesperson said it reflects the company’s “ongoing desire to make sure
Bolt EV/EUV are competitive in the marketplace. As we’ve said, affordability
has always been a priority for these vehicles.”
No mechanical modifications have been made
to the Bolt EV and EUV for the 2023 model year. As such, they continue to
feature an electric motor pumping out 200 hp. The Bolt EV is good for an
EPA-estimated range of 417 km while the slightly larger EUV can
travel up to 397 km on a single charge.
One new addition for the 2023 model year
is the availability of the Redline Edition for the Bolt EUV. This appearance
package sees the vehicle equipped with black wheels and various pieces of red
trim. Information about the 2023 models comes less than two months after
Chevrolet resumed production of the two Bolt models have previously recalled
every single example it had ever made.
