The Bolt is discontinued, and they’re using the factory to build electric trucks.

I heard :(. It’s weird to say, but I think Chevy is moving too fast. The Volt should still be around, it’s a great “starter” car for the EV shy. Now they’re rushing headlong into trucks when I think there’s a real market for the compact crossover EUV. I suppose trucks are high margin and now that “little” trucks are back they can take part of that segment.

The volt is also dead, which is a shame.

no it isn't, they reversed the decision thankfully (we own a 2017 bolt, it's great)

They didn't 'reverse the decision' - the current Bolt is dead, and the factory will still be switched over to producing electric trucks.

They announced that they are going to redesign and relaunch the bolt at some undetermined future date, and have not announced where it will be built.
