US automakers don’t think they can sell small, affordable EVs.
. That’s nearly $15,000 more than the average selling price for a new non-luxury gas-powered car.
The Bolt was the best value in EVs you can buy today. The smaller Bolt EV started at $27,495 ; the slightly larger EUV model ran $28,795 . That got you a modern EV with over 200 miles of real-world usable range, enough space to seat five, and all of the modern creature comforts and safety features you’d expect with a new car in 2023. On top of that, the Bolts are among the few EVs you can buy today that qualify for the, which among other requirements, has a price cap.
I had the opportunity to test a Bolt EUV earlier this year to see what a more affordable and accessible EV is like to drive in 2023. My test unit was the fully loaded Premier Redline model that came with a sticker price of $39,480 with destination. But a lot of that cost is due to unnecessary trim and features, which most people shouldn’t pay extra for.
Like all electric cars, the Bolt is quiet and planted on the road, though it never provided an especially sporty experience. It’s just a car that takes you from point A to point B with a minimum of fuss. There is a Sport mode you can toggle on, but that basically just made the throttle pedal a little more aggressive — there was no apparent change to the steering or suspension when I hit the Sport button.
