The Bolt had to reduce its MSRP because it’s having a difficult time remaining competitive in the EV market due to its charging hardware being inadequate. There are countless Bolts for sell on the market but it’s almost impossible to get your hands on a Tesla, Ioniq 5 or EV6. The Bolt literally takes the longest to charge out of all the EV’s on the market seconded only to the Mini Cooper EV. That plus I stated 300+ miles meaning 300 miles is a hard minimum, and I prefer to see much more (preferably in the 400 ballpark, but would be willing to accept something in the 300 - 350 mile range for $30k, and if you say that’s asking alot… consider that my Prius is able to get more range than a Tesla 3 Long Range edition gets and costs less than half the price and it becomes evidently clear that per dollar value EV’s are currently far less functional on practicality level than ICE vehicles. Also consider that on the highway my SS is able to achieve nearly 500 miles to a tank of fuel… a performance vehicle … I only have to stop for gas twice on a road trip I regularly take between Austin TX and Atlanta GA (and yes I do this drive without stopping for rest ordinarily). That’s more range than most EV’s save for the vehicles costing over $80k are able to achieve.
