DETROIT — General Motors is considering a page out of Amazon's playbook, with a plan to stock electric vehicles at regional hubs to ensure quick delivery to nearby dealerships.
Starting late this year, Chevrolet could test centralized inventory lots for some 2022 Bolts, with area dealers sharing a nearby pool of Bolts to pull from as needed.
Dealers would be able to receive the Bolts in a matter of days, as opposed to weeks if they were shipped from the factory. The experiment resembles Amazon's model of using regional warehouses to provide next-day or, in some cases, same-day delivery.
