| Can someone that lives in an Apartment buy a Bolt? Where can they charge it? |
| Public chargers. Or ask your complex to install a level 2 charger. We have a garage but I usually pay to charge at one of the public stations near our house. |
| Didn't Bolt have battery issues? Did they resolve that problem? |
Yup all solved. Really only EV at this price point |
Leaf is about $10k cheaper. Range is about 220 vs 260 or so for Bolt and there are other differences but Leaf still has the tax credit and is worth considering |
I think depending on the trim level of each, their prices are closer than $10,000 apart. If the tax credit is a draw for the Leaf, you might want to move fast -- Nissan's electric crossover is coming out later this year and will likely push them up over 200,000 electric vehicles sold, so the tax credit will drop. (Also worth noting that the Senate might still revive some form of extension of the tax credit for manufacturers that have already hit the cap, like Chevy and Tesla, if they do reach a deal between Manchin and Schumer on a scaled-back Build Back Better bill.) |
| For 2023 model, Bolt is cheaper than Leaf. Chevy just announced price cut for Bolt - less than 30k now. Google. |
Bolt is only EV under 30k. |
I wouldn't get either EV unless you have charging at home or at work. A public charging station will be a nuisance to have to use given the Leaf and Bolt's slow charging speed. |
This isn’t true. The Leaf is under 30k — the bolt is a few hundred less maybe so they can go around saying it’s the cheapest but the leaf has the tax credit |
The bolt has more range and higher rated. |
The base bolt is a lot cheaper than 30k |
