I ran into the same issue looking for a new car. :( I wanted something the size of a sedan (originally looking at a Civic or a Jetta) but the market for sedan sized EVs is small. The only model under 50k for 2021 was the Tesla Model 3. It's getting a little better - but the market is still not big.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoThe Bolt is smaller and cheaper than the Model 3, if you measure size using dimensions like length and width. If you specifically desire a car with a sedan-shaped body, there is a gap in the market, because all the cheap electric cars are hatchbacks.
- a_t48 4y agoI didn't get a Model 3 both for budgetary and Tesla reasons. Ended up getting an ICE which works out as my new apartment has no charging at it. Looking at the raw dimensions of the car I did get (Jetta GLI), the main difference is height versus an SUV/crossover. I suppose I do just like sedan shaped cars over others - my mother's Golf is a few inches shorter, but the volume it takes up makes it seem like a boat.
