The Chevrolet Bolt EV (marketed in Europe as Opel Ampera-e) is a battery electric subcompact hatchback produced by General Motors under the Chevrolet marque. The Bolt was produced from late 2016 to mid-2021, subsequently restarting in early 2022, until late 2023. In mid-2023, GM officials said they would cancel the car, then three months later announced plans but no date for a next-generation model.

The first generation was developed and manufactured with LG Corporation.[1] Sales of the 2017 Bolt began in California in December 2016, it was released nationwide and international markets release in 2017. A rebadged European variant was marketed as the Opel Ampera-e in mainland Europe.[2][3]

In 2017, the Bolt was the second-best-selling plug-in car in the United States. It was named the 2017 Motor Trend Car of the Year, the 2017 North American Car of the Year,[4] an Automobile magazine 2017 All Star, and was listed in Time magazine's Best 25 Inventions of 2016.[5] The Ampera-e was discontinued after 2018. By the end of 2020, GM had sold 112,000 Bolt and Ampera-e cars worldwide.

The first-generation Bolt has been subject to at least three recalls. At least 16 Bolts have caught fire, leading to a recall to fix or replace battery components[6] and GM's August 2021 advisory to park in open areas, at least Шаблон:Convert away from other vehicles.[7]

History

Development

GM Korea began developing the Bolt in 2012 with a team of 180 people with the project code G2KCZ (G2 for Gamma 2nd-generation platform, K for hatchback, C for Chevrolet, and Z for electric car).[8][9] Its initial concept debuted at the 2015 North American International Auto Show.[10]

Шаблон:As of, General Motors had tested more than 50 hand-built Bolt prototypes at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan. The cars were tested at Proving Grounds and overseas for ride and handling dynamics, cabin comfort, quietness, charging capability, and energy efficiency.[11]

Alan Batey, head of General Motors North America, announced in February 2015 that the Bolt EV was headed for production, and would be available in all 50 states.[12] GM also has plans to sell the Bolt in select global markets.[13]

In January 2016, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the production version of the Chevrolet Bolt was unveiled. During GM CEO Mary Barra's keynote at the show, Chevrolet confirmed an estimated range of Шаблон:Convert or more, an approximate Шаблон:USD price tag (after government incentives), and stated it would be available in late 2016.[14] Barra projected in February 2016 that the European version, marketed as the Opel Ampera-e (or Vauxhall Ampera-e in the United Kingdom), would enter production in 2017.[15]

In March 2016, GM released photos and a short pre-production video of the Bolt at the company's Orion Assembly plant outside Detroit, testing manufacturing and tooling.[16] The car's user interface was developed in Israel.[17]

Profitability

An unnamed source cited by Bloomberg News estimated that General Motors is expected to take a loss of Шаблон:USD to Шаблон:USD per Bolt sold. A GM spokesman declined to comment about expected profitability.[18] Opel refuted that in December 2016 and stated that GM has battery cell costs of $130/kWh, and industry is not yet optimized for mass production.[19] A UBS tear-down in 2017 suggested slightly smaller losses per vehicle, of $7418 on a base spec, or $5520 on a higher spec vehicle.[20] They estimate that by 2025 the Bolt will make a profit of about $6000 per vehicle.

Production

Final assembly took place at GM's Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan,[21] which received a Шаблон:USD upgrade for Bolt production.[13] Manufacture of the battery, motor, and drive unit started in August 2016 at LG, Incheon, South Korea.[22]

The car is designed for flexible production by having some of the battery in the same position as the fuel tank in internal combustion engine-powered cars, and is made on the same assembly line as the Chevrolet Sonic[23][24] at a combined rate of 90,000 per year.[25] Although the car is assembled near Detroit, it has only 20% domestic-parts content.[26]

Analysts expected Bolt production at 22,000 per year, and Ampera-e at a few thousand.[27] Production may increase to 30,000 to 50,000 per year according to demand.[28] Regular production was expected to begin in October 2016 at 25,000-30,000 the first year.[29][30] Initial regular production had begun by early November 2016[31] at a rate of 9 per hour, gradually increasing to 30 per hour.[32] Retail deliveries began in California in December 2016.[2]Шаблон:Update after

Bolt production was halted on August 23, 2021, while battery production was redirected to replacements under a recall affecting the 140,000 Bolt EVs that had been produced up to that time.[33] Production was not restarted until April 4, 2022.[34]

Recalls

In November 2020, 50,932 Chevrolet Bolt vehicles of model year 2017–2019 were recalled due to potential fire risk.[35] According to GM, these vehicles contained high voltage batteries produced at LG Chem's Ochang plant that may pose a risk of fire "when charged to full, or very close to full, capacity".[36]

As a precautionary measure, Chevrolet issued software updates that allow dealers to install a battery charge limit of 90% to their existing inventory while urging current 2017–2019 Chevy Bolt owners to enable the "Hill Top Reserve" option (2017-2018MY) or to set vehicle "Target Charge Level" (2019-2022MY) to 90%. A final software update was expected to remedy the charging capacity to 100% sometime in April 2021.[37] Шаблон:As of, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has confirmed five known fires with two injuries and recommends parking recalled vehicles outside, away from homes, until they have been repaired.[35]

On August 20, 2021, Chevrolet extended the recall to include all Bolt models (both EV and EUV) and model years (2017-2022) totaling the number of recalled Chevy Bolt cars to nearly 142,000.[38] GM will replace the recalled vehicles' batteries, citing manufacturing defects by its partner LG, which could be responsible for the shorting of deficient battery cells. Amid further investigation, GM says it will ramp up production of replacement battery cells with LG Chem, while seeking reimbursement for the recall from the manufacturer,[39] as GM expects the expense to be $1.8 billion.[40] LG Chem had to pay $1.9 billion to GM. Some of the recalled battery packs were repurposed in grid batteries.[41]

Cars which have had the battery-replacement recall done have the Шаблон:Convert range of the 2020-up Bolt, and the new batteries are warrantied for 8 years from the date of installation.[42]

Discontinuation and planned revival

In January 2022, GM announced that the Orion Township factory would be retooled at a cost of $4 billion to produce Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV pickup trucks, starting in 2024.[43]

The affordable segment targeted by the Bolt was expected to be filled by the Chevrolet Equinox EV as GM shifts its EVs to Ultium third-generation battery technology.[44] On April 25, 2023, GM CEO Mary Barra said that the Bolt and Bolt EUV would be discontinued at the end of 2023 to make room for GM's "new generation of electric vehicles."[45]

The announcement drew public outcry.[46] On July 25, 2023, Barra said there were plans for a second-generation Bolt[47] using Ultium hardware[48] and Ultifi software.[49]

GM ended Bolt production on December 20, 2023.[50]

Design

Шаблон:Multiple image The Bolt was designed from 2012 by a team of 180 people in GM's Korea[9] studio (formerly Daewoo Korea), as B-segment size[51] on its own platform, the GM BEV2.[52] It does not share elements with the GM Gamma platform cars like the Chevrolet Sonic/Spark.[53][54]

The EPA classifies the Bolt as "small station wagon", with less than Шаблон:Convert of interior volume.[55][56] GM refers to the Bolt as a crossover and puts it under the category of SUV on its website.[57][58] The passenger volume is Шаблон:Convert, and cargo space is Шаблон:Convert[59] (381 liter).[60]

The Bolt's doors, tailgate, and hood are aluminum.[51] The driver can adjust the level of regenerative braking as the accelerator pedal is lifted.[61] The front seats are asymmetrical to maximize cabin volume while accommodating airbags.[62]

GM planned for over-the-air software updates during 2017[63] but the feature was finally released to the Bolt in April 2018.[64]

Pre-production name confusion

Файл:Chevrolet Bolt EV SAO 2016 8865.jpg

In 2015, Chevrolet acknowledged confusion between two vehicles with similar-sounding names; Bolt and Volt.[65] Chevrolet's marketing chief, Tim Mahoney, subsequently announced GM would keep the Bolt name.[66]

Autoblog projected similar confusion among European customers where the Opel Ampera-e (the Bolt variant) is just one letter off from the Opel Ampera, the previous-generation Chevrolet Volt sold in Europe – suggesting the names could confuse customers who think the new all-electric hatchback is closely related to the old plug-in hybrid hatchback.[67]

Tata Motors has had a car named the Bolt on the market since 2014, and has registered the trademark in India and other countries.[68]

Cruise AV (autonomous vehicle)

Шаблон:Multiple image The Cruise AV is a Bolt EV-based autonomous vehicle developed and tested by Cruise Automation, whose majority owner is General Motors; GM acquired Cruise in March 2016.[69]

Pre-production versions of the Bolt EV were built at Orion Assembly in March 2016 and sent to Cruise, which modified the cars by adding sensors in San Francisco.[70] The modified pre-production vehicles were photographed in San Francisco in May.[71] Fifty of these first-generation (G1) Bolt EV-based Cruise AVs were tested from June 2016 in the San Francisco Bay Area and Scottsdale, Arizona.[69]

After its acquisition by GM in March 2016, Cruise began working with GM engineers to develop the 2nd-generation (G2) Cruise AV, which would be assembled alongside regular production Bolt EVs at Orion Assembly.[72] The G1 Cruise AV has two roof-mounted LIDAR sensors, four small round headlights, and the Chevrolet "bowtie" logo on the front grille,[71][72] while the G2 has five LIDARs and the same styling as the regular production Bolt.[73]Шаблон:Rp A fleet of 130 G2 Cruise AVs were completed by June 2017, with an expanded, better-integrated sensor suite.[69] The G2 (and G3) Cruise AVs are equipped with five roof-mounted LIDARs, 16 cameras, and 21 radars (both long- and short-range as well as articulating).[73]Шаблон:Rp The first G1 Cruise AV was retired and sent to the Henry Ford Museum in March 2019.[70]

A prototype 3rd-generation (G3) Cruise AV was shown in September 2017; Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt said the G3 AV was designed to incorporate redundant systems and was ready to be scaled up for mass production at the Orion Township factory.[74] In addition, the G3 AV uses fault-tolerant electrical, communication, and actuation systems unique to the automated vehicle and not shared with the Bolt EV.[72][73]Шаблон:Rp With the completion of 50 G3 Cruise AVs in fall 2017, GM now considers the vehicle a separate model from the Bolt.[75] Externally, the G3 Cruise AV may be distinguished from the G2 by the color of the rooftop sensor package (black on the G2, white on the G3) and the two articulating radars: on the G2, these are black and replace the side rear-view mirrors on the G2; on the G3, these are white and are mounted just above the front wheels.[73]Шаблон:Rp

Members of the press were invited to ride in a G2 Cruise AV in November 2017; they reported the choices made by the car's programming were conservative, but the self-driving system had minimal disengagements over the short Шаблон:Cvt trips.[76][77] In January 2018, Cruise showed renderings and a prototype of its planned 4th-generation (G4) AV, which removed the traditional driver's controls such as the steering wheel and pedals[78] and largely retained the external features of the G2,[79] but further development of the G4 Cruise AV was canceled to concentrate on their next generation autonomous vehicle, the Origin, which was unveiled in January 2020 and lacks driver controls entirely.[80] The Origin is scheduled to be introduced in January 2023.[81] Cruise received approval to test cars without safety drivers on public roads in October 2020;[82] the first SAE Level 4 vehicles tested by Cruise were G3 AVs.[83] The safety driver was relegated to the passenger's (right-hand) front seat and did not have access to the traditional controls.[84]

Later in 2021, a G2 Cruise AV nicknamed "Poppy" was filmed for a short promotional video while undergoing testing in San Francisco.[85] The California Public Utilities Commission approved Cruise's application in June 2022; with the permit, Cruise plans to start offering driverless revenue taxi services in San Francisco with Cruise AVs.[86]

Refresh (2022-2023)

Шаблон:Multiple image

For the 2022 model year, the Bolt received front and rear styling revisions, along with a revised interior. The front end carries new headlights, along with a new faux-grille and trim. The tail lights and the tailgate hatch also differ slightly from the previous model. Inside, the shifter was replaced with gear shifter buttons and the seats were upgraded and now are slightly larger, with more padding. The interior received a larger info screen.[87] In addition, the electronics were updated with new software, and the L2 charging system was increased to allow charging at 48 amps, up from 32 amps. Dimensions of the vehicle remain unchanged.[88]

GM also began selling a Bolt EUV crossover SUV alongside the existing Bolt EV hatchback that year. The EUV and EV share the same BEV2 platform; however, the EUV has an extended wheelbase along with some enhanced key features.[89]

Specifications

Battery

The Bolt's battery uses "nickel-rich lithium-ion" chemistry, allowing the cells to run at higher temperatures than those in GM's previous electric vehicles, allowing a simpler[90] and cheaper[90] liquid cooling system for the Шаблон:Cvt battery pack. The battery pack is a stressed member and weighs Шаблон:Cvt.[91] It accounts for 23% of the car's value,[59] and is composed of 288 flat "landscape" format cells. Cells are bundled into groups of three connected in parallel, and 96 groups connected in series compose the pack, which is rated at 160 kW peak power.[92] GM offers a battery warranty of 8 years / Шаблон:Convert, and has no plans for other battery sizes.[19]

In October 2015, General Motors said they will purchase the Bolt's battery cells at a price of $145 per kilowatt hour from LG Chem, representing a minimum of $8,700 in revenue per car.[93] The cost is reportedly about $100 cheaper per kWh than the price LG was giving other customers at the time.[94][95] GM estimated a cell price of $130/kWh in December 2016.[19]

While initially expected to share its lithium-ion battery technology with the second generation Chevrolet Volt,[12][96] the production version of the Bolt uses batteries with a different chemistry more suited to the different charge cycles of a long-range electric vehicle, compared to the more frequent charging/discharging of hybrids and short-range EVs.[97]

The 2020 model year's battery capacity increased to 66 kWh because of a small change made to the battery chemistry that increased the EPA rated range by Шаблон:Convert.[98] Physically, the battery is Шаблон:Cvt wide, Шаблон:Cvt long, and Шаблон:Cvt high, weighing Шаблон:Cvt.[99]

Drivetrain

Other specifications include a Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert Interior Permanent Magnet electric motor, acceleration from Шаблон:Convert in 2.9 seconds and Шаблон:Convert in less than 7 seconds, and a top speed of Шаблон:Convert. The 72-slot/8-pole electric motor is integrated with a single-speed transmission and differential, to form a single modular drive unit that connects directly to the front axles. The single-speed transmission has a final drive ratio of 7.05:1.[100][101][102][103][104]

Body and chassis

The Bolt EV is tall hatchback design, with a curb weight of Шаблон:Convert.[105] Despite its overall height of nearly Шаблон:Convert, the center of gravity is under Шаблон:Convert above the ground, yielding surprisingly stable handling during cornering. The low center of gravity is due to under-floor mounting of the battery pack.

Bolt uses the now-common kammback/hatchback low-drag body design, with sweeping curves leading to an abrupt back end. It was initially reported to have a Шаблон:Cd[51] but GM says the final production vehicle has Шаблон:Cd.[106]

Range and efficiency

Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) five-cycle test methodology, the Bolt fuel economy is rated at 119 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mpg-e) (Шаблон:Convert) for combined driving, Шаблон:Cvt in city and Шаблон:Cvt in highway.[55][107]

The Bolt EV has a combined EPA-rated range of Шаблон:Convert.[55] For city driving, the EPA rated the Bolt range at Шаблон:Convert, and due to its relatively high drag coefficient, its range for highway driving is Шаблон:Convert.[108] One Bolt owner was able to drive from McHenry, Maryland in the western part of the state to Ocean City, Maryland, a distance of Шаблон:Convert, on a single charge.[109]

The Ampera-e has a certified range of Шаблон:Convert under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test cycle with a full battery, and achieved a range of Шаблон:Convert under the more strict Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP).[110] Opel expected the Ampera-e to achieve a NEDC range of about Шаблон:Convert.[111]

Before the Tesla Model 3 was introduced in July 2017, the Bolt was the only plug-in electric car with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of less than Шаблон:USD capable of delivering an EPA-rated range of over Шаблон:Convert.[112]

As of the 2020 model year, the Bolt has an EPA all-electric range of Шаблон:Convert,[113][98] up from Шаблон:Convert for the 2017–2019 model years, and EPA fuel economy rating of Шаблон:Cvt for combined city/highway driving.[55]

Charging

Файл:2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV - April 2019 (2833).jpg

All models of Bolt support standard SAE J1772 EV charging plugs, at Level 1 or Level 2 (AC). A factory option supports Level 3 (rapid DC) charging with the CCS1 connector. For model year 2021, the upper trim level ("Premier") was equipped with the CCS1 connector as standard.[114] A portable Level 1 charging adapter is supplied with each Bolt, stowed in a special compartment under the hatchback floor. It is UL Listed to operate at 120 VAC in the US market but is capable of operating at 240 VAC.[115]

Level 1 (110 VAC) charging supplies roughly 1 kW[60] and adds Шаблон:Convert of range per hour of charging. Level 2 (240 VAC) charging supplies up to 7.2 kW[60] and adds Шаблон:Convert of range per hour of charging. Level 3 charging with the factory-option 55 kW SAE Combo DC fast charging system[116] can add Шаблон:Convert of range per hour. The Bolt user manual suggests fast-charging to only 80% charge to ensure consistent 50 kW charging.[24]Шаблон:Sfn The fast charge rate steps down to 38 kW at 56% charge and again to 24 kW at 68% charge. Above 85%, the charge rate varies from 16 kW to 0 kW.[117]

With the 2022 refresh, the on-board AC charger was upgraded to a maximum rate of 11.5 kW and the CCS1 connector was made standard, although DC charging remained limited to a maximum rate of 55 kW.[118]

Tires

The Bolt EV is delivered with self-sealing tires whose interior surfaces are coated with a sticky compound to automatically seal small leaks and punctures in the tread area.Шаблон:Sfn There is no spare tire, nor is there a built-in place to store one.Шаблон:Sfn The car is equipped with a digital Tire Pressure Monitoring System to warn the driver if a tire is leaking, and a portable air compressor kit is supplied as an optional part.[119] Under the rear hatchback cargo deck, there is a space that can be used to store an undersized spare, and some owners carry a compatible Chevrolet Cruze spare tire there.[120]

Test drives

The production version of the Opel Ampera-e debuted at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

The EPA-rated range of Шаблон:Convert was confirmed by automotive reporters driving a preproduction Bolt with a 60-kWh battery. Driven under different driving modes with the air conditioning on, the trip between Monterey and Santa Barbara was completed with an energy consumption of 50.1 kWh, representing an average efficiency of Шаблон:Cvt. A total of Шаблон:Convert were driven, with the Bolt's display showing Шаблон:Convert of range remaining.[121] Several other journalists conducted a preproduction Bolt test drive on the same route, and all reported similar results regarding the Bolt EPA-estimated range.[122][123][124][125][126]

As part of its debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, Opel reported driving an Ampera-e without recharging from Piccadilly Circus in London to Porte de Versailles in Paris, the venue of the exhibition. The rebadged Bolt traveled Шаблон:Convert with Шаблон:Convert of range remaining.[111][127]

United States

Файл:Chevrolet Bolt EV WAS 2017 1562.jpg
Deliveries of the Bolt EV began in the U.S. in December 2016.

Pre-production versions of the Bolt EV were built in March 2016 and sent to Cruise Automation, which modified them as test vehicles for autonomous driving.[130] The modified pre-production vehicles were photographed in San Francisco in May.[71]

Ordering began in California and Oregon in mid-October 2016.[131] Production for the model year 2017 began in November 2016.[132][31] The first three Bolts were delivered in the San Francisco Bay Area on December 13, 2016,[2] and a total of 579 units were delivered in 2016.[133] Availability was rolled out gradually across the United States, and by August 2017 the car was available nationwide.[2]

Demand profile did not exactly match predictions, leading GM to slow production in July 2017.[134] However, in the last months of 2017 Bolt demand rose rapidly; by October, it outsold any other model of electric car, including those from Tesla.[135] Sales totaled 23,297 units in 2017, making the Bolt the U.S. second best selling plug-in car in 2017 after the Tesla Model S (≈26,500).[133][136] In California, the Bolt listed as the top selling plug-in car with 13,487 units delivered, ahead of the much more expensive Tesla Model S, listed second with 11,813.[137] The Bolt also led the state's subcompact segment in 2017, with a market share of 14.7% of all new cars sold in this category.[138] Шаблон:As of, cumulative sales in the American market totaled 26,477 units.[133]

In January 2019, GM reported that 2018 US sales for the Bolt totaled 18,019, down 22% from the previous year. (US sales of the Tesla Model 3, on the other hand, jumped from 1,764 in 2017 to 139,782 in 2018.[139]) The combined sales of the Bolt and Volt also triggered the start of the full $7,500 tax credit phase out in Q4 2018, prompting the tax credit to reduce to $3,750 in April 2019 and $1,875 in October 2019 before disappearing entirely April 2020.[140]

Canada

The Bolt has been available in Canada since the beginning of 2017. A total of 4,025 Bolt EVs were sold in Canada in 2020.[133]

South Korea

In South Korea, General Motors opened the order books on March 18, 2017, and all 400 units of the first allotment were sold out in 2 hours.[141]

European countries

The European version began production in February 2017.[15][142]

The Ampera-e launch in the Norwegian market was scheduled for April 2017, when 13 were registered.[143][144] Deliveries to retail customers[24] began on May 17, 2017.[145] Over 4,000 cars were ordered in Norway, with some to be delivered in 2018.[142] Registrations totaled 1,121 units in 2017.[146]

European discontinuation controversy

The Ampera-e was first offered for sale in Norway, the first country in Europe where it was marketed, at a starting price of Шаблон:NOK (Шаблон:Euro) in December 2016, higher than that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. Availability was limited, as the Ampera-e and Bolt both were assembled at the same Orion Township factory.[147] Three months later in March 2017, Groupe PSA agreed to acquire Opel, the English twin sister brand Vauxhall and the European auto lending business from General Motors as GM exited the European market;[148] the acquisition was completed in November.[149]

By October 2017, European sales had expanded into Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany; there were 4,000-5,000 orders for the Ampera-e in Norway alone, which has a population of 5.2 million.[150] However, dealers in Europe were asked to completely stop accepting orders for the Opel Ampera-e at the same time, as the entire annual allotment for Europe had been sold and the earliest possible delivery date was pushed to 2019.[151][152] The starting price was raised to Шаблон:Euro in November.[153] The fact that Opel was limiting orders of the Ampera-e in Norway, its most promising market, led to speculation that GM was planning to discontinue the model in Europe.[154] GM previously has been accused of purposefully sabotaging its EV1 programme,[155] most notably in the 2006 documentary film Who Killed the Electric Car?.[156]

In February 2018, it was reported that 1,971 Opel Ampera-e had been sold in Europe to date.[157] Deliveries in Norway trickled at fewer than 100 units per month in 2018.[158] For comparison, in 2018, the Hyundai Kona Electric, equipped with a 64 kWh battery and offering comparable range to the Ampera-e, was offered for sale in Norway. The entire yearly allotment, 2,500 vehicles, was sold out almost instantly.[159]

Шаблон:Citation needed span although in November 2018, it was reported to be on sale in the Netherlands for Шаблон:Euro, possibly as a way to reduce overall emissions of the cars sold by Opel/Vauxhall.[160] Sales records show that, as of February 2019, fewer than 5,000 Ampera-e vehicles were ever delivered in the entirety of Europe.[161] Even though the Ampera-e could be ordered and bought in the Netherlands in 2019, its steep price was still an issue. In early 2020, the importer lowered the price to €34,149,[162] which brought it closer to the official American MSRP, but still remained thousands of USD more than Americans were actually paying for the car.[163] This was enough to put the car in the top 10 of bestselling cars in the country (regardless of the powertrain), and make it #1 among electric cars.[164][165][166] However, the 2020 price reduction was an incentive to sell the remaining stock;[162] as of 2020, Opel refuses to import any more Bolt/Ampera-e into the Netherlands and Germany.

Opel/Vauxhall offered the Opel Crossland X, a gasoline- or diesel-powered crossover utility vehicle with styling mildly reminiscent of the Bolt, using a platform developed by Groupe PSA under a partnership with GM predating the acquisition.[167] Under PSA, Opel/Vauxhall announced plans to offer EVs based on the Opel Corsa and the Peugeot 208, both being smaller cars than the Bolt.[153][168] The Corsa-e went on sale in March 2020.[169]
