Chevrolet Bolt EUV

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV was the most affordable long-range EV in America before its discontinuation, dropping to $27,495 in 2023 after aggressive price cuts and a $7,500 federal tax credit—making it cheaper than the #7 Kia EV6 by over $15,000 and most comparable gas cars. It offered 247 miles of range, Super Cruise hands-free driving as a GM exclusive, and a surprisingly spacious interior for its compact size. GM sold over 90,000 Bolts in 2023, proving that price—not luxury—drives mass adoption; this volume was more than double the Porsche Taycan’s 40,000-unit sales and 30% lighter on the wallet than the typical EV rival. The Bolt demonstrated that affordability, not hype, makes EVs cool for the mainstream.
