Chevrolet Bolt EV — First generation (2017–2023)

The first-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV is a five-door battery-electric crossover, covered here for model years 2017 to 2023 together with the Bolt EUV (Electric Utility Vehicle) of 2022 and 2023, which NICB files in the same passenger-car VIN block. NICB's VIN manuals print the Bolt EV series as LT and Premier for 2017 to 2021 (with separate DC fast charging series from 2019) and as 1LT and 2LT for 2022 and 2023, and the Bolt EUV as LT and Premier. GM's 2017 fleet order guide lists the LT (model 1FB48, trim 2LT) and the Premier (1FC48, trim 2LZ), each with the MMF electric drive unit, the EFZ lithium-ion battery and a 7.05:1 final drive, and the 2023 Bolt EV and Bolt EUV Upfitter lists give the Orion, Michigan plant code (ORN).

Gaps: the repository holds GM documents for 2017 (the fleet order guide) and 2023 (the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV Upfitter RPO lists and the interior page of the Bolt EUV fleet order guide) only. The 2019 guide capture lists the two models without codes, and no GM document covers 2018 or 2020 to 2022, so a row's Years name only the years a listed source shows (2017, 2023 or both), not every year the code was built. Codes that only the 2023 Bolt EV list prints are marked only in: Bolt EV, and codes that only the Bolt EUV list or guide prints only in: Bolt EUV. One code on the 2023 lists is left out: 5VQ, a pickup bedliner accessory.
