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.

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.

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.

What's wrong with 40amp on a NEMA 14-50? its rated for 50A

Most 40 amp breakers are rated for 32 amps continuous load (3+ hours), 40 amp maximum load.

I thought that was over last year? I got the $5000 when they offered it 3 years ago.

Yes. The deal is essentially the $7500 tax credit (rebate). Owning a GM is prob hit or miss. If it does not give issues, it's a very good deal for the affordability.

EV use is a breaker rated for 125% of load. If this comes with a 32A charger, the breaker specified is 40A.
