A Bolt, after all the tax incentives, comes in at around $18k!
Really? Can you actually get them at MSRP in any decent amount of time?
And is that federal? I thought Chevy ran out of their tax incentives...
Not as of last January when I tried to buy one. I was able to test drive one and found it acceptable but it was the only one available, it was significantly over MSRP (it was Premier trim, so >$35k) and I could order one but they flat out told me I'd be waiting a minimum of five months.
GM did run out, but the rules changed in 2023, so there is no more cap. GM and Tesla get the incentives again.
But the problem is. It’s a bolt.
At that price that seems like an alright car. It's just a bit slow to fast charge.
That'd be fine if I didn't have 3 kids with car seats! I need a soccer mom vehicle.
