General Motors is producing about 75% fewer Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles than originally planned, as reduced federal support and weaker EV demand prompt automakers to scale back electric-vehicle programs. The Kansas City-area plant is on pace to build about 35,000 Bolts before production ends in the first quarter of next year, compared with an earlier plan for around 150,000. Dontay Wilson, president of the United Auto Workers local chapter representing factory workers, said the union estimate is based on daily production volumes rather than figures supplied by GM. The Bolt, relaunched early this year at a starting price of $27,600, has sold 4,224 units through August and is described by GM as a limited-run model. GM declined to comment on production, saying it continuously evaluates market dynamics and customer demand. The company has recorded $10.9 billion in EV-related charges since the second quarter of 2025 and is retooling some facilities for gasoline-powered vehicles. The lower Bolt output delayed the return of a second shift, leaving nearly 1,000 employees on indefinite layoff, while the plant is slated to produce the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox next year and take over Buick Envision production from China.
