Chevy Colorado and Bolt EV Cutoff Dates Announced
Cutoff dates have been announced for the Chevy Colorado, Chevy Bolt EV, and Chevy Bolt EUV.
The General Motors luxury brand will have about 560 dealerships going into 2022, down from 875 at the beginning of this year, Rory Harvey, vice president of global Cadillac, said. More than one-third of Cadillac’s U.S. dealerships are disappearing this year as the brand begins its transition to an all-electric vehicle portfolio. The decline was driven by buyout agreements Cadillac began offering to dealers a year ago.
Remaining dealers are preparing to upgrade their outlets for EV sales and service by the end of the first quarter, when the Lyriq, Cadillac’s first full EV, is expected to arrive in select showrooms.
Additional GM Plant Downtime
General Motors’ Chevrolet Bolt plant, in Orion Township, Mich., will take three weeks of downtime this month as the automaker continues to work through a recall of all Bolts for battery-fire risk.
Prioritizing battery module replacements for existing customers has led to a shortage of battery parts for new-vehicle production. GM notified employees at Orion Assembly that the plant will take downtime from Nov. 15th to Dec. 3rd. Production is slated to resume Dec. 6th.
