There are a couple like the Fiat 500 and Mini cooper EV that get around 150, but they also coat like $45K USD. Somehow the Chevy Bolt remains the cheapest option while still having 250 miles of range while also being one of the best EVs available.
But if you start looking at used cars it changes massively. You can get a 10 year old Nissan leaf that can still do 100 miles on a charge for like 3 grand. And early Bolts are also sub 10k.
I bought a used 2022 Bolt EUV in late February for $19k and my only gripe with it is the charging speed. It is incredibly rare for me to do longer drives, so it's not a regret per sé, but it's annoying that I didn't do research on that particular detail. While the Ioniq 6 has 800V architecture which allows charging at 240-350kW, I'm stuck at fucking 50. For those who don't know those units and just want real world figures, the difference is that charging from 20% to 80% takes like 15 minutes for theirs and like an hour for mine.
Most of my longer drives still aren't that long though, so that's just the situation where I actually charge up to 100% at home and just do a big charge at a meal and bathroom break like 3-4 hours in.
Just thought I'd make people aware of the caveat of the cheap Bolts, and how that still doesn't actually matter most of the time. I would've paid more for quicker charging on the road even though it would affect only a couple of drives per year.
Yeah that's definitely something people should be aware of, it's certainly something that was brought up in every bolt review I read. But like you said it's really not a big deal unless you are road tripping. I personally ended up getting a polestar 2 but that was mostly because it had double the power and a much better interior, but also cost about 8k more and has an abysmal service network that could collapse at any moment. Part of me wishes I just got the bolt.
