"When Chevy announced it was dropping the price of the Chevy Bolt EV by $6,000
earlier this year to $25,600, it went from a good EV option to a great one.
This is a 5-star-safety-rated sporty hatchback EV with 259 miles of real range,
lots of space inside, and a great interior.
So good, in fact, I decided to do the unthinkable: buy one for my 70-something
mom. Here’s how it went.
As a background, I’ve owned mostly Teslas (S, X, 3, Y) since 2013, and one of
the things I like most about that experience is not having to deal with car
dealers. I leased a 2017 Chevy Bolt from 2017 to 2020 and loved the car, but
again, didn’t love the dealership experience on either end of the Bolt
ownership. I went over this in my Bolt ownership retrospective.
With Chevy’s help, we identified a Bolt that was being sold for MSRP on its way
to Serpentini Chevrolet in NE Ohio. I remember their ads from growing up –
“American, and prooooouuuud of it!” – and even though the name sounds like
“snake” in Italian, they’ve been around for a long time."
