General Motors is shuffling where its vehicles are made in a move that will shift production from China and Mexico to a US factory in Kansas. That change also means the end of the rebooted Chevrolet Bolt EV, the only car currently built at the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas.

The factory’s musical chairs reflect an economic and political environment, shaped by the Trump administration’s tariff policy and its decision to end the federal EV tax credit, which provides up to a $7,500 discount to qualified electric vehicles. These changes make it more expensive to make cars in China and Mexico that are sold in the United States.

Production of the 2027 Chevy Bolt EV, which landed in dealerships this month, is expected to end in about a year and a half. The new Chevy Bolt EV, priced at $29,990 including destination charge, is one of the cheapest new EVs available to US consumers.

GM confirmed to TechCrunch that the next-generation Buick Envision, currently built in China, will move to the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas, starting in 2028. The gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox, made at the San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico, will move to the Kansas factory in mid-2027.

The Bolt, on the other hand, will have a short life if GM follows through with previously announced plans.

“When we unveiled the Bolt in October, we said and it was widely reported that it would be a limited run model,” a GM spokesperson said in a statement sent to TechCrunch. “We also previously announced that the gas-powered Equinox will arrive in Fairfax in mid-2027 following the end of Bolt production. Now we’re announcing the next-generation Buick compact SUV will arrive in Fairfax beginning in 2028.”

The company still sells other EVs, including an electric Chevy Equinox and Chevy Blazer. The question is whether GM will change course and save the Bolt if sales are better than expected. We know that GM has promised to make new investments in the future at Fairfax Assembly for the next generation of affordable EVs. We just don’t know when.
