One of the most reasonably priced options for driving an electric vehicle in the US is still the Chevy Bolt EV. Used Chevy Bolt EV cars are still available for less than $10,000, despite being discontinued.
When the Chevy Bolt EV was introduced in 2016, it was thought to be the most reasonably priced EV available in the United States.
It became the best-selling non-Tesla EV in the US thanks to its alluring features, affordability, and range.
CEO Mary Barra stated that “it is now time to plan to end the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV production” in February, following several years of carrying GM’s electric vehicle sales.
The news came as GM ramps up production of its Ultium-based EV models, including the new Chevy Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado EVs.
Although GM phased out production in December, the Bolt EV is still one of the cheapest ways to drive an electric car in the US.
The compact EV is no longer listed on Chevy’s website. However, a quick search on Edmunds and other online car sales sites shows used Chevy Bolt EV models are available for under $10,000.
For example, a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV LT is listed for $9,499 with just over 78,000 miles and an “Outstanding” battery rating. It’s had no accidents, four owners, and was a corporate fleet vehicle. The vehicle’s estimated range is between 231 and 250 miles.
Another 2019 model is listed at $10,513 with under 60,000 miles, no accidents, and one owner. It has an “Excellent” battery rating with estimated 220 to 244 miles range.
The Bolt EV comes with standard features, including a 10.2″ infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support.
