      The Chevy Bolt is 19k after the 7.5k federal credit.

        The bolt is discontinued because it was taking sales away from more expensive vehicles. People don’t massive SUV’s but automakers can make more money on them so they limit options otherwise.

          It’s not discontinued. They backed away from that plan in favor of a battery tech refresh. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/gm-announces-a-new-ultium-based-chevrolet-bolt-during-q2-report/

            Seems it’s not quite dead yet which is great since Nissan also killed the leaf. But it’s also not in a great spot either it seems. That article references a lot of issues scaling the new battery tech…
