Chevrolet is putting its electrified bets on the Bolt EV, as\u00a0the company announced today that it\u2019s ending production of the Spark EV, the compact car with a relatively meager 82 miles of electric range. The decision to end production of the car likely has a lot to do with the Bolt EV\u2019s much more attractive options, which include 238 miles of EPA rated range.<\/p>\n

The price delta between the two cars likely would\u2019ve made it hard for anyone interested in an electric vehicle to opt for the Spark EV, too \u2013 it started at just under $26,000, while the Bolt retails for $37,496 MSRP in the U.S., before the federal tax credit of $7,500 cuts that down to much closer. The Spark EV was only sold in three states, and Chevrolet told Detroit News<\/a> that it sold only around 7,400 of them in total since its introduction in 2013.<\/p>\n

Chevrolet\u2019s Bolt EV is a much bigger bet on electric cars, but\u00a0the company\u2019s decision to part ways with the Spark EV shows it\u2019s not interested in keeping EVs around just for the sake of having some in the lineup. Watching Bolt\u2019s performance will be big not only for the future of Chevrolet\u2019s electric car program, but for those of all automakers, since all eyes are on Chevrolet\u2019s first attempt at a long-range, affordable consumer electric mass market vehicle.<\/p>\n
