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.

Quote from takoma20 :
I work near an exit ramp on what is probably the busiest highway in the country, don't quote me on that. We have ZERO chargers there, like one or two at the next exit down which has a busy outlet mall, the next closest bank is like 20 miles away. I drove back home northbound on Friday and was like, "How are all these cars going to charge if they're electric?"
Do none of those people own homes?

Because that's where like 99% of EV charging is done.

The average American drives between 10 and 30 miles a day.

Public chargers aren't needed at all except for long road trips if you can charge at home.


Quote from takoma20 :
Did I mention each car takes the equivalent of three house's daily energy demands to recharge? That's wild.
And also untrue.

29 kWh per day is the national average.

3 times that is 87 kWh.


Most EVs get 3-4 miles of range per kwh.

So that's 261-348 miles of range with the amount of power you cite.

Again, at the HIGH end the average American drives 30 miles per day.

Meaning they need roughly ten times less energy to recharge each day as you suggest.

Quote from tooquick :
If I live in California and buy in Reno to avoid taxes, would I still qualify for the tax rebate?
- You get charged tax and license reg fee for your registered address.
- from what I know you do not qualify for state rebate in that case. Someone else here can confirm that as well.

Teslas hurts your back man, that thing rattles when driving.
If only tesla had the smoothness of a Toyota, well soon or later will have to change.

I mean it's a great invention and all the gas oil changes no more but that thing feels like an overpriced go cart. But it has monopoly in charging stations.

If Elon can bring its driving quality to Toyota level then your stock price is sure the true reflection.

To be fair, the bolt weighs about 25% more than the civic does.

The Bolt is tiny and none of the dealers around me ever has any in stock. Rather spend $4-$5k more and get a Tesla Model 3.

But you don't install a NEMA 14-50 on a 40A circuit, you install it on a 50A.... 80% rule says you can use a 40% charger on this circuit.
You can use a 40A breaker on a 14-50 outlet if the device you're plugging in is 32A or less. The dual voltage EVSE that comes with the Bolt runs at 32A so it's safe and not against code. If you show the electrician a different EVSE that's 40A, they will use a 50A breaker.

I am in the Bay Area Norcal. Good luck finding one for MSRP. The dealer I was at will not sell at MSRP, they didn't budge(I was looking to buy the Bolt EUV Premier). I contacted five other dealers and they were all marked up. They said they don't sell at MSRP anymore. I ended up ordering a Tesla Model 3 RWD online for $40k. Picked it up last week and love it. Easiest car buying experience ever; everything was online so I didn't have to deal with scummy dealer tactics like markups.
You literally had like 3 years to buy this car at this price and you chose to buy it when everyone else is looking right now

Quote from TjC4244 :
If my tax liability is 5300. But I have two kids so I only owe 1300. What happens then?
If your income/tax situation is the same year after year, and you only owe approximately $1,300 per year, you will only get that $1,300 applied towards the rebate and forfeit the rest. (You will owe $0 federal taxes).

Unless your kids turn 18 this year and you can no longer deduct them for your 2023 taxes, the only way to get a higher tax liability is to work more or get a 2nd job and it will be totally federal tax free until you reach a federal tax liability of $7,500.

Very misleading post title. 19,000 my ass. In Eugene Oregon ( not a big city ) the cheapest out the door price for a new Chevy bolt is 38k , minus the 7,500 and you get a 31.5k car. This vehicle is an absolute joke for 32k. Buy anything other than this!
Can anyone from Portland, Oregon metro area chime in?
