Absolutely the most affordable long range EV you can buy.
259 miles of all electric range.
By far the best around town car for the money. Most drivers average 4.5 miles per kwh which gives this 66kwh battery a real world range of 300 miles depending on how you drive. One of the most efficient EV's you can drive (smaller size saves more energy).

Home charger free installation info:
Home charging installation promotion includes purchase and installation of a 240V outlet (NEMA 14-50 outlet and new 40-amp breaker in existing panel) from a GM selected vendor. Installation must be located at customer's primary residence as reported in the customer's vehicle purchase order.
100% qualifies for the $7500 Federal tax credit: https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax2023.shtml.
Stack with State rebates to really make this a deal:
Example: $5000 state credit from Colorado or NJ can make this a $14000 brand new EV with a free home charger.
Edit:
Some have made the point that GM has had their past Bolts recalled out of an abundance of caution due to a small amount of Bolts having caught fire due to the LG battery manufacturing error.
Let's address how amazingly ethical GM has been in protecting their customers even if it meant loosing $ on the bottom line (something another prominent EV company would never do).
GM recalled EVERY SINGLE BOLT EVER SOLD, no matter the mileage, no matter the condition and give every one of these cars brand spanking new battery upgrades. Not only did they replace the battery, they provided an upgraded battery with a higher energy density AND a new 10 year/ 100k mile warranty.
Let's compare to Tesla who has had way more fires than every Bolt ever has, they have stayed quiet on the issue and will likely never recall.
Here are a archive of Tesla fires which many do not involve a collision: https://www.tesla-fire.com/ Do your own research.
Which company would you feel more comfortable with if you had an issue with your vehicle?

Beginning in 2024, everyone under the income limit qualifies for the full $7,500 rebate. It does not matter if you owe less than that in taxes, and you can get it at the time of purchase instead of waiting for next year's taxes.

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.
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.

Go mess with them.
How much does it cost? How many quarts does it take? How about blinker fluid?
You got their special limited edition that not supposed to go public.

They will spend an hour to determine you don't need it, then charge you 160 for the labor
I got 2 quotes on my own, first quote was $850 from a individual electrician guy I work with, probably not bonded/insured/etc but gives low prices. My second quote from a reputable electrician that quoted $1250 without a permit, they didn't say how much with permit.
My situation is that I have 200 amp services, free space in breaker box, and ample amps after doing load calculations. My basement is finished, but my service is behind the garage, so the easiest thing to do is drill a hole through the wall, go outside, run about 20 feet of pipe along the wall, then make a hole in the back of the garage. Apparently I'm not a "standard" install because my basement is finished(even though we are not going to mess it up) and my garage is "detached" even though it's attached to the house. I was told a standard install goes through an unfinished basement directly to a garage.
The first qmerit electrician quoted about $2250, the second qmerit electrician quote was $2650. With the first quote my out of pocket would be $1000, with the second would be higher. Granted the permit is included with the qmerit electricians.
The $2650 qmerit quote was charging a $600 permit fee, and I believe qmerit offers a $250 credit. My town charges a $100 permit fee.
I'm waiting on my 3rd qmerit installer to come and give an estimate, but I don't have a good feeling after dealing with the first two...

QMerit in general is overpriced, unless you can get it completely free, otherwise look somewhere else. I ask them to install outlet next to panel and they still ask over a thousand after disconnect.

Can one just pay 7500 to irs ahead of filling time to get a 7500 refund? Would be no different then planning for some heavy tax event in life. Why not use 7500 to downpay taxes ahead, finance the vehicle?

My entire town is pre wired and only need an outlet. Qmerit used 10dollar home depot outlet and charged over 1000 for my neighbor.
I installed my industrial grade outlet and just asked for $500 evgo credit.
Love this car!! I'll be saving $3000/year in gas driving this to work and back.
Wow.. costco gave me zero participation near my zip code in socal. So i just worked with individual dealers, but i got it 1750 off msrp and pretty happy at current dealer pricing elsewhere.
It's not how much you overpaid. It's how much tax liability you have. Overpaying more doesn't make any difference. After all your deductibles, you still want to have at least 7500 in tax liability. Don't pay more to irs… that's just an interest free loan to them.
FYI to some… This is one year tax deal, where as home solar/battery 30% refund is for multi-year refund. If your rebate amount for both solar and ev car exceeds your liability, you can claim rest of solar/battery rebate in following years.

That's why leasing this thing actually makes sense.
I'll save enough on gas to pay for 2 of these things.
(Tundra gets 15mpg and I commute 45 miles each way)
