General Motors has touted the Chevy Bolt as an electric car for everyone. This car is not only for the tech savvy or early adopters. It is not only recommended for the residents of California, where there is a higher level of acceptance for electric cars. The aim of General Motors is to make people think that the Chevy Bolt is a mainstream vehicle that happens to be an electric car. Considering its range and price, this car is clearly for any person who can drive. This information was provided by Chevrolet’s marketing and advertising manager, Kathy Belsic. Ms. Belsic further added that this vehicle is not only a great electric vehicle, but it is simply a great vehicle.

GM went on the record as being the first carmaker to produce a reasonably priced battery-powered vehicle with a range exceeding 200 miles per charge. The Chevy Bolt electric car gives an electric range of 238 miles and sells for less than $30,000 inclusive of federal sales tax. This tax is around $7,500, with a possibility of state incentives like $2,500 dollars in California. In December, the first 579 cars were delivered to Oregon and California. The Chevy Bolt is manufactured at the General Motors’ Assembly plant located in Orion Township, in Michigan. However, the residents of Michigan many be in the last lot of getting the vehicle. The customers from Michigan can place their orders starting from July when General Motors plans to open national ordering for its small crossover. Kathy Belsic noted that the Chevy Bolt that will be ordered in July will be delivered to customers in late August or September.

Bolt deliveries have been added by this Detroit automaker in Massachusetts, Maryland, as well as Virginia. The crossover is anticipated to get to dealerships in New Jersey and New York in March. Dealers from other states may continue to get the car in September. Chevy Bolt will also be sold in Canada, Mexico and South Korea. The automaker said that its first deliveries were focused on the electric cars’ key markets, while at the same time taking dealer-readiness into consideration. The car will be offered by approximately 40% of 3,100 Chevrolet dealers nationally. Kathy Balsic noted that an average American would drive around forty miles per day. This means that the Bolt electric car would give numerous driving days before it needs to be recharged. It is clear that electric vehicles are now gaining popularity, with more people realizing their numerous benefits.
