The all-electric Bolt is a concept car not currently slated for
production, but Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra said the company is
committed to developing an affordable, long-range EV, and GM said they
could develop the car in as little as 18 months.
"This is a real game changer," Barra told reporters at the media preview at the Detroit auto show. "Trust me, this is no stripped-down science experiment."
She didn't give a timetable for when GM would develop the vehicle, but said it was a natural next step from the Volt. GM is showing a new version of the Volt on Monday, and the 2016 version will debut this fall.
GM product development chief Mark Reuss said the automaker "has the technology" to deliver a production version of the Bolt electric car within 18 to 24 months. Reuss said the four-door, five-passenger prototype could be profitable, especially if the value of emissions credits it generates under clean air regulations is counted.
