it looks good for the price. some major improvements in batteries, inverter, charging speed and regen efficiency. heat pump and motor used in the equinox. i was hoping for a bit more length and width, but they stayed with the old chassis to keep costs down. when the time comes, i'll shop around and compare, but 30k is hard to find right now.
Yeah. Basically it’s a hardware refresh of the old Bolt EUV. (And I guess an interior upgrade too). Not bad for keeping costs down. Now let’s see how many people put their money where their mouths are. It’s decently priced folk without having too many missing mod-cons.
IMHO; I'd still buy used - due to the steep deprecation curve associated with EVs. Traction battery replacement would be the only unknown - but they carry an extended warranty to 100K miles, unlike ICE cars. Used Cars for Sale - Hertz Certified | Hertz Car Sales
it's going to be interesting. GM has lost a lot of confidence with the change in the tax credit. of course ev's were headed in one direction when they made the bolt decision, and now everyone is wondering how much the direction has changed. one interesting thing, at the reveal, they mentioned that 'production would be limited'. and now, everyone is trying to figure out what that means.
i've looked many times, but never found what i considered a good deal. that may just be me though, because i feel the same way about gassers and hybrids. it will be interesting to see what used brings next year, when the tax credit has been gone for awhile.
The fact that they labelled it as a 2027 rather than 2026 means they intend to run it for two years without having to change model year in 2027.
