Was in a Bolt EUV for about 6 weeks while my wife’s Soul got the engine replaced (Kia paid for the rental). I ran the numbers and had a similar result as you. Very nearly bought one but the fast charging was abysmally slow and the cup holder was unusually narrow, couldn’t fit my water bottle that has fit in every other car before or since. Also, my car at the time was our long-distance hauler. Still strongly considering electric for when I replace it. Chevy’s new Equinox and Blazer EVs fixed my complaints and still have the physical buttons, but got rid of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for a custom interface from Google.
