The Bolt? Sorry, they are getting rid of that for a few years. Hell, it took a lot for them to even agree to bring the damn thing back. They were going to kill it despite its popularity.
You can get a base Tesla model 3 for under 30k with the federal incentive right now. Go to the website if you don’t believe me.
People still don’t understand that EVs have a total cost of ownership that saves you 10-20k over the life of the vehicle compared to an ICE vehicle. Now the sticker prices are getting cheaper than ICE vehicles and people still can’t get past the expensive versions from a few years ago.
If you’re waiting for Ford to offer a sub 30k vehicle, you’re going to be waiting a while. They seem to be giving up on trying to get to scale on production and won’t bring costs down on the numbers they’re pumping.
When you get ready to get into the market, look at the full cost of ownership when you buy so you don’t end up paying more for a substandard product. Figure out your fuel/energy cost, insurance, maintenance costs over the amount of time you plan on owning the vehicle, then look at resale value.
Sticker price on an ICE is misleading compared to how much they cost to operate over time.
Sell EV’s under $30k and you’ll sellout!

GM is bringing back the Bolt next year with a new battery design.
It’s ridiculous how bad EV prices are. They think 2 years of wages for a sedan with leather seats is reasonable
Ah you mean sedan with “vegan leather” or normal people would call it plastic :D

Oh I’m not in the market, and that’s still a lot of money. Thanks for that, because someone will find it useful.

Oh I well know! Thank you though, we all could do that and shock ourselves!
Do they even sell ice’s for that?
Average vehicle sale price in the US in 2023 was just under $48k… so only if you buy used.
That’s what I was thinking. I recently spoke to a man who said he looked at a new Ford ice. 100k. He repaired his 90s model.
Several brands have base models at ~20k plus tax. Nissan Sentra, Chevy Trax, etc…
