Does this stack with the current $9000 cash incentive offered by Chevy?

The deal is OK. But still better than many others available at the same time.

The deal was much better in March with the $2,000 rebate for CA residents. Now the $2,000 rebate funding has run out and only limited to low income applicants.

For Bolt, without AC and all local with little hill, I was able to get 5.5miles per KWH. It does not to be babied. Just light foot and no AC got this number easily . For average use, 3.5-4miles per KWH is a good estimate.

Quote from WitnessX :
In my use case with a 100mi commute, my PHEV works out great in that I charge at home and work which ultimately has me refueling every 1200mi. Sure I'm lugging around dead weight, however fuel weight diminishes with use as well. I never have to worry about not finding an EV plug as it plugging in is a bonus. Not having to refuel often is saving approximately 20-25min in travel time from the office to Costco and the act of refueling itself. There isn't much planning required for any trips and again, no stress about finding an available EV plug or having to wait around for the appropriate amount of charging. On a road trip, it was nice being able to drive 450mi to my destination with a gallon to spare and about 10mi in EV range if I decide to ride the edge to zero fuel remaining.

So yea, it's pretty case by case. I'd like to go full EV, but not until infrastructure and fast charging is built out. I've put in 57k in 2yrs with my PHEV that is a combo of commute and road trips. Would definitely be a less pleasant experience with a full EV.
100mi commute is 100% doable with a Bolt as long as you have level 2 charging at home,

Hell, even 100mi commute ONE WAY is doable in the Bolt...but you might have to baby it or top it off at work during the winter.

I've only had my Bolt since end of March, and I only recently starting commuting to work again (I was working from home during the pandemic). I have a 30mile roundtrip commute. I can literally commute to work the whole week and charge over the weekend even @ 120V. I'm not even charging to 100% for my commute...I basically am keeping the battery between 20 and 80%. I expect it to change some during the winter, but I THINK it can still be done.

To compare, a 37k dollar Bolt vs a 39k Tesla, is a night and day difference. Not even comparable. 5 star dining vs drive through.

LOL. As has been stated numerous times before in this thread, the Bolt is around 20-25K depending on location and options, not 37K.

A 39K Tesla is a stripper, so to compare the base "20K" bolt to the base "39K" Tesla is preposterous. It is double the price

That's why you just buy a Tesla online and then go pick it up without any BS whatsoever. You don't even have to go to the DMV! laugh out loudCoolPeace

After that, you save every time using it since electricity is cheaper than gas.
I did a lot of research on cars and Audi in particular (certified/used) and there was too much of a risk of getting one with the miles reset. Seems to be rampant fraud in most of the auto industry, sometimes even involving overly greedy dealers.

It made the decision very easy in the end.

The only other option I may have considered was one of those Audi A6's for $30K new. Congrats to those who got one. nod

There are already $12000 in manufacturers incentives on the Bolt (with DC charging option) so this should be in addition to that. ($15000)
If youre looking at a $40000 MSRP you should pay no more than $25000 for that example. In Colorado there is an additional $2500 off at point of sale, so no more than $22500 paid for a $40k MSRP if the dealer is truly honoring this deal.
Colorado dealers in are shit and they will absolutely try to pocket that 2500 state rebate that REQUIRES you to purchase in state BTW.

Bolts used to sell for MSRP and above. They are down 20k because of the lack of incentive and the poor quality, lack of features, and market. There is a reason these are nearly half price and Tesla sells at MSRP.

Comparing MSRP is relevant. Just because an item is junk and sells for half, doesn't mean its a good value. It started overpriced and now they're selling for a loss.

Niro, Leaf, Kona, etc, all sell for MSRP.

I bought one for 22k new. Could have been less. I can say this is not comprable to Tesla, BMW, Kia Group, or even the Leaf. These are fragile poorly built, inexpensive vehicles that are, even at 22k, not worth it.

You're not getting a great or slickdeal. You're getting overpriced, heavily discounted junk, at a price above what its worth. Even when 50% off, they still cant get rid of them.

Put one on a lift and take a look.

Just as likely as your gasoline powered vehicle containing many gallons of flammable gasoline.

Local dealer near Chicago just quoted 31k for a 2020 Bolt PREMIER even though their site said 24999. Good times

Serious question about EV in colder regions. I kept hearing the battery won't last long in colder regions, is this still the case for the current EV battery tech?

Great deal! We used this a couple of months ago when GM was running 12-14k off, and stacked it with Costco to save quite a bit. May want to check if there is a higher discount from GM on the cars with DC Fast Charge, that's how it was previously.

Quote from KMan :
By "there really isn't any", do you mean that their EV components are basically maintenance-free, or that they can't really be repaired at home and must be taken to a dealer or garage? I mean, there's more to an EV than electric motors and whatever transmissions they have, and EM braking, that are comparable to the subsystems and components in ICE vehicles, beyond brakes. E.g. suspension, A/C, lighting, body, windows, etc. I assume that steering is electric powered, but that's been available on ICE cars for years.

Thankfully I haven't invested too much in engine-specific tools as most of those will be useless on EVs. Most of my tools will likely be applicable to them.
The issue with ev is threefold, to repair them you expensive scan tools, you can fix most stuff outside the drivetrain and batteries, but most run on high voltage 400v or more and of you do not know what you are doing or wear the proper PPE you can easily be killed. This is not your car 12v system. You should also have insulated hv tools. So I would say if you are used to wrenching stay with brakes and suspension and call it a day. hv PPE is very expensive and it needs to be regularly inspected for punctures and the like. I have seen electricians thrown across the room in three phase and many ev run even higher voltage. this is my PSA.
