Chevrolet expects 'record' Bolt sales this year after 2021 recall

Chevrolet expects record sales of its Bolt products this year after having to halt production and sales last summer amid a mass recall for battery fire risk on the electric vehicles.

Chevrolet Marketing Director Steve Majoros told reporters in a briefing the General Motors Co. brand expects "record numbers of sales and production for '22 and we see '23 being bigger than '22. We are bullish on Bolt EV and EUV, not just because of where we stand now with gas prices ... the percent of EVs as percent of industry just keeps going up and up as the months and years unfold."

GM restarted production of the Chevy Bolt EV and its larger sibling the Bolt EUV at its Lake Orion plant on Monday after months of downtime while the automaker worked through a recall on the products, prioritizing new batteries to use as replacements in the recalled Bolts.
