GM's new Bolt EV reuses old body but 57% new parts
Original: Is the new Bolt EV really a Bolt? 🤔 It wears the old Bolt EUV's body, but GM says about 57% of its parts are new: an LFP
General Motors' next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV is drawing debate because it wears the body of the previous Bolt EUV while carrying substantial mechanical changes. GM says about 57% of its parts are new, including an LFP battery pack, the Equinox EV's motor and a new interior. Torque is lower than the original, but a revised final drive makes it slightly quicker to 60 mph, prompting discussion over whether it still deserves the Bolt name.
Why now: The next Bolt's mix of familiar styling and heavily updated internals is sparking debate among EV fans about whether it is genuinely new.
