The concept for the EV was announced earlier this year at the North American International Auto Show, but to paraphrase the old 1970s hit by the band America, since then it's been a car with no name.
"The Bolt EV is a significant statement of Chevrolet’s commitment to electrification and the name suits this game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity,” GM said in a press release.
The Bolt EV, which will replace the Chevrolet Spark EV, is expected to cost about $30,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit.
While GM has been mum on many of the production details, several published reports suggest the first Bolts will go on sale in 2017, and that the automaker hopes to produce between 25,000 and 30,000 of them annually.
