General Motors is adjusting its global production layout, shifting the manufacturing of some models from China and Mexico to a factory in Kansas, USA. This move also signifies the impending discontinuation of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, currently produced at that plant.

The new Bolt EV, launched this month with a price of $29,990, is expected to be discontinued in about a year and a half. General Motors has confirmed that the next-generation Buick Envision, currently produced in China, will move to the Kansas factory in 2028. Meanwhile, the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox, produced in Mexico, will also relocate to this plant in mid-2027.
A company spokesperson reiterated that the Bolt was always planned as a “limited production” model. GM will continue to sell other electric vehicles and has committed to new investments in the Kansas factory for the production of the next generation of affordable electric vehicles, though the specific timeline has not yet been announced.
Roger Luo said: This behavior reflects General Motors’ direct response to cost pressures. While supporting domestic manufacturing, the discontinuation of Bolt (a key economy electric vehicle) has raised questions about the company’s commitment to the entry-level electric vehicle sector in the short term.
