General Motors has announced a new Chevrolet Bolt campaign to advertise the electric vehicle following recalls. The Bolt was recalled by GM due to a battery failure, leading to the vehicle being taken out of dealerships and re-launched. Now, with the issues rectified, GM is re-advertising its Chevrolet Bolt in one of its biggest budget advertising campaigns to date. GM hopes this new campaign will see record sales for the Bolt, with sales estimates as high as 23,300.
The new campaign will begin on Thursday, April 7th, at the opening games for the Major League Baseball series. GM has stated that it expects to spend approximately $3.3 billion USD on advertising throughout the year, meaning the Chevrolet Bolt will be one of the brand's most advertised vehicles to date. The success of the Bolt will play a role in the new direction toward EVs for Chevrolet and GM.
