Start selling cheaper ones. The day a sub $20,000 EV comes along that can do more than 150 miles on a charge you will all shut up and take my money. I don't need fancy features, I just need something that can get me to work and back with a bit of wiggle room and never have to pay for gas again. 150 miles would be more than sufficient, but 200 would be PERFECT. Leaf and Bolt are close, can we get something a little cheaper, pretty please?
Not many quality ICE vehicles come at that price point these days.
Can't even get many used for that cheap these days.
Do you need new? I got a used bolt for about 12k.
Oh where at?
Midwest, found it online
They all got their batteries replaced on a recall in 2019, (they may have been replaced more recently then that, the recall replacements started in 19) so they should all have about 220mi range depending how you drive
Buy used? I don't understand the argument that they need to be cheaper as new, when you wouldn't have bought new before but now you will for electric? I've had my bolt since COVID started and it's been great. Don't buy leaf tho
Can buy used for 13-17k depending, ~200mi interstate range
