Chevy bolt is $26k out the door
27.5k And you'll get less car for it. It's small, and bumping it up to 2lt puts it over 30k. Every EV it's still more expensive, even with credits most of the time, then it's equivalent ICE competition.
Right but with the credits mine was comparable to an equivalent ICE. So why would I ever pick the ICE car? More maintenance, have to pay more for fuel. No thanks.
Not arguing EVs arent more expensive on average but if the price is the same, the only reason to go ICE is if you travel looooong distances regularly, which most people dont.
The credits aren't. You might find a model that say a particular time are a close comparison but the really is most of the the time you are sacrificing drivetrain power or features even after the EV credit + slightly lower fuel costs. And when you do have vehicles in this category it's economy vehicles.
Federal gives you up to $7,500 off, some states give $5,000+ cash rebate. If I were to buy my bolt again it would cost me $12,000 total.
Thats literally the cheapest car you can buy in the US that I know of.
I should mention I live in Canada. The credits here are pretty nice. Maybe its worse in the states. It was absolutely comparable price to a comparable ICE car of its class here.
Less car? Itβs actually pretty big. 200 hp, tons of torque, 0-60 in 6 seconds, lots of room in the back. Fits 4 adults, car seats easily fit. Lots of headroom and leg room.
I can smoke BMWs off the line all day. And it saves me about $1,000 in fuel costs per year.
