In 2017, the Bolt was one of my options. I couldn't wait for a Tesla M3 nor did I like the price, and was willing to settle for even a PHEV Prius (Volt only has 4 usable seats so was out of the running) but (with a lot of incentives) I pulled the trigger on a Ford Focus EV. Bolt back then was $35k+ with incentives. Mine was less than $18k with incentives. Range sucked on my FF (good enough to get me to work + back + leftover) but a) it cost half the Bolt b) had fast charging and c) I didn't have to go far to get one in stock. I probably would have liked both of them - roomy enough to fit 5 + fast enough to enjoy the drive part. Ford discontinued the Focus, but honestly Bolt/Focus are decent EVs for a lot of people.
