IS IT BETTER TO BUY A NEW OR USED CHEVY BOLT EV? WE WEIGH THE OPTIONS!

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast delves into the compelling new versus used Chevrolet Bolt EV debate, with host Jordan joined by EV enthusiast Dom, who is in the market for a new electric vehicle. The discussion highlights the significant value proposition of the Bolt, especially considering recent market shifts and tax credit changes. While used Bolts offer a lower entry price, potentially under $20,000 after tax credits, the hosts emphasize the improved interior, modern styling, and updated features of the new models, which are eligible for a $3,750 tax credit starting in January. A key consideration for used buyers is that most have already received battery replacements, negating a major EV wear item. The EUV variant is also explored for its practicality and available Super Cruise, though it sacrifices some range. Ultimately, the decision hinges on budget versus the desire for modern amenities and a new car warranty, with the hosts suggesting that waiting until January might yield even better deals on both new and used models as the market continues to adjust.
