GM is selling EVs for $25k right now. The Chevy Bolt probably is the best EV for the money in the world today.
The Renault Zoe and the VW ID.3 are not too far off that price and are strong sellers in Europe. A smaller battery version of the ID.3 is coming out this year.
- ogre_codes 6y agoGM is ... selling the Bolt for $36k with a $10k subsidy. They are not selling a $25k car. The fact that they can still collect the subsidy is a sign of how bad they've done in this market. I'm not sure why the Bolt isn't more popular for the money. Well aside from the fact that it's ugly.

The federal tax subsidy expired a while ago: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/electric-car-tax-credit-general-motors/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/electric-car-tax-credit-g... Here's a list of EVs still eligible federal tax credits. The Bolt is not one of them: https://www.cars.com/articles/which-electric-cars-are-still-eligible-for-the-7500-federal-tax-credit-429824/ https://www.cars.com/articles/which-electric-cars-are-still-...
- ogre_codes 6y ago> No, GM incentives. Hmm, I hadn't realized they were out of government subs. That explains why they are discounting them so deeply. My local dealer has them down to $29k which is tempting, but it would be hard to drop that kind of cash on a car I think is ugly (I know appearance is subjective so YMMV). For the price, dropping a few grand extra to get the spunkier Model 3 with the Supercharger network seems like a no-brainer.
