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.

Live in New England here, so any car I have needs to be able to deal with snow potential over 4 months/year minimum.
I'm assuming both the RWD Bolt and the RWD M3 are not great in snow, but is one of them less not great than the other?
The Bolt is FWD. Just get winter tires when it snows.

Quote from nolife :
Possibly mentioned, I scanned the 22 pages of this thread..
A breaker rating is 100% based on the gauge wire used on the circuit. Nothing else. Using a 50amp outlet on 40 amp circuit (8 gauge wire) is specifically called out in NEC code and it has been the norm for decades. Table 210.21(B)(3) Receptacle Ratings for Various Size Circuits. There are no 40 amp receptacles. Not a hack.
Obvious problem is that the next car (or maybe just visitor car) will require more current, and 50A outlet would mean a higher load is OK. then breaker starts tripping once in a while and gets upgraded... Which leaves 6 AWG wiring in place as the weakest link.
I assume those higher-rated outletss on underrated breakers are allowed under the assumption dedicated load is there forever. Which isn't quite true for cars.

Seriously, Tesla is just so much better. it's not even close.
i have drove both and unless tesla has done some changes i think the bolt is the better deal. 10k less and also rides better and has less rattles than the tesla. maybe the newer teslas have improved? i also don't like controlling everything from a tablet. but i will admit the tesla is a better looking car and i would buy it if prices were the same.

No mention that this car is discontinued by GM... The inventory of this non-EUV model is getting low in my area. Maybe worth noting. And this is just MSRP. Not really a deal? Not trying to be negative. Just confused.

What's wrong with 40amp on a NEMA 14-50? its rated for 50A
Nothing is wrong with that. The car will not exceed the configured amps when charging and the charger will reduce current demand if the supply can't meet it. Fire code makes you use a GFCi for the install anyway in NY. The fire issue was not because the owners were using 40A breakers on an outlet rated for 50A max.

We need to do away with any tax credits for EVs, and add a highway tax that's fair to ICE drivers.

Quote from sd8384 :
I honestly think 14-50 on 40AMP breaker is much safer than on 50AMP breaker. It makes sure your charger is not pulling more than 40A continuously which protects wire and outlet. With 50A breaker, it will never trip if you keep pulling say 45A continuously
The included dual volt EVSE pulls 32amps on 240, no more, no less. 32a.

It makes adapting it to most fryer plugs impossible because they are usually 30a. But you could hook this up to a 100a breaker and it would still pull 32a.

My EUV has plenty of room for 4 passengers and could squeeze 5 in a pinch, or it would have a good amount of cargo room if you fold the backseats down. Note the or. That's my biggest complaint, but I rarely need it to haul 4 passengers so it works for me.
Yes the EUV is bigger it's almost as tall and wide as my Honda Odyssey. Storage area might work, but kids in sports and all the equipment needed, it's gonna be very tight. I was seriously looking for one last year but gave up.

Sure thing. A joke. I'm not buying a car designed in 2011 though. Outdated.

Argue the point. You can't. This is like telling the people going on the Oregon Trail their horses can only travel 10 miles from the East Coast, LOL. There's nothing false about what I've said, you just can't defend the car and that's ok.
There's nothing true about what you've said either.

It would concern me that they redesigned the Bolt EV and added the EUV for 2023 and then just discontinued the models. Seems like it would be hard to get parts specific to those cars down the road when they only existed for 1 model year.

Quote from Probedude :
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 actually OK to undersize the breaker as well. The wiring needs to be rated for the max amperage on the circuit, but for example if you wired a new outlet up at 30a but knew you'd want a 50a device on it later you could size the wiring for 50a and then put a 30a breaker and device on it first.
