Hate when people include tax credits into price that not everyone qualifies for without all the info, it's a little misleading in these ev/Tesla threads. This requires a tax liability of $7500 or more that you get after you file and is not point of sale. Also max income of $150-300k for single/married filers to qualify. Also there is nothing new here, this is MSRP, info on tax credit, and the charger install was always included with bolt purchase (since Feb '21)

edit: For clarification from the wiki: "The tax credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due."
So lower income people will not get a $7500 refund, it depends on your liability. i.e. A SDer responded about a student being angry in a previous thread that they only got $500 back and not $7500.

LOL no.

Virtually all of the ICE vehicle can be recycled. Generally the only items not recyclable per se will be interior trim - it's mixed plastic and rubber. Engine? steel or aluminum. Gearcases? Steel or aluminum. Body, frame, etc, steel or aluminum. In fact, about 86% of a car can be recycled [recyclenation.com].

Meanwhile your EV will still have a fully and readily recyclable frame and body, just like the ICE. The motor will generally be recyclable. The battery? Not really. Generally batteries and battery packs are not really designed for recycling. Most are just thousands of individual cylindrical cells, that themselves are spiral wound multilayer structures. There's no easy way to separate the materials here. An ICE, you literally rip out the engine with heavy equipment and include it in with any other steel or aluminum - the process is astonishingly easy and quick [youtube.com] with heavy equipment.

Meanwhile, the batteries are generally just shredded [ucsusa.org]. The resulting material is called "black mass" and is placed into a bath of caustic chemicals to leech out the *important* elements. In certain cases, that black mass is first incinerated to burn off plastic and epoxies. Yeah that sounds super efficient and environmental to me.

So basically these cars could simply be like you iphone or Guarraty disposable product. Please upgrade and throw your old one in the trash. So much for saving the environment and saving money.

So the Bolt EUV is only $2k more at $21k? Pretty nice if true.

Quote from Cecerious View quoted comment :
Which I figured is the case. And yes there is an exception for 40 amp on 50 amp outlet. But it's horrible practice. Say if a new homeowner decides the want to use that outlet with a 50 amp device. Lets just hope that the wiring that was originally installed is the right gauge to give that circuit breaker a chance to pop.
A licensed electrician will wire it correctly and it will be permitted and inspected. If someone tries to use a 50A appliance, it will pop the breaker. No damage done, no fire hazard. It's common. The EVSE specifies the breaker to be used, and it's okay to undersize the breaker for the outlet as long as the wiring is rated for the breaker size also.

It's no wonder why their cars catch on fire. Chevy should really think about hiring new electrical engineers.

I though this was a typo on the OP's part, but the website does indeed state a 40 amp breaker on a NEMA 14-50 outlet. Umm talk about a code violation.

(Keep in mind that this is a universal outlet install, NOT a direct wiring install. So the breaker NEEDS to be sized to the maximum load limit, not just the load limit of the primary device that's going to be installed on it.)
You even know what you're talking about, are you just trying to stir shit? This ratings are perfectly normal.

Edit: I should add that I had one installed by an electrician and inspected by the city. The biggest flag would be if the electrician used a different sized wire.

Great deal but a lot of misinformation from OP on batteries. GM recalled after first trying to "patch" the hardware issue caused by LG Chem.

To clarify, these were battery fires caused by crashes, these were caused by faulty packs.

Tesla didn't have the same issues because they didn't use LG batteries.

Again, all that said, the current Bolt is a great EV and with GM sunsetting it, the prices will probably jump.

I'm dense and can't seem to figure out what to do here? I go through the car builder, which is my only option on the site, and I'm getting a regular price for these things? Any help would be much appreciated!

GM still relied heavily on dealers, and we know dealer wants our $$s
get rid of dealers, GM CEO Mary Barra, is getting ready to retire.... i am sure she just cares for how much she can squeeze out of GM for her retirement savings ( 50 Million a year pay) before she will drops the ball.

Bolts are being priced 5K over MSRP by dealers so a Model 3 is actually a much better deal now. Crappy cloth seats on the 1LT and less range than M3. Also with Chevy discontinuing this after this year its value will plummet.

Cargo volume in the EUV is not higher than the EV. EUV is borderline sleazy marketing bs, they added a couple inches of leg room and added a few k to the price, and gave it a name that sounds like SUV but it isn't.

Yes, because Teslas are going to appreciate in value. That's why I buy a car…appreciation.
