From Transport Evolved.
Earlier this year, General Motors confirmed that the Bolt EV would end production at the end of this year – and we, among many others lamented the loss of an affordable electric vehicle that wasn’t a massive SUV or pickup truck.
But earlier this week, GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed that the Bolt EV will return as a Ultium-based model.
Here’s what we know (not a lot), as well as some of our speculation on what the next-generation Bolt EV should be like.
