Not with the $7500 federal tax credit, let alone (for CA) residents the tax rebate. It’s not for everyone yet but there’s plenty of people there Bolt is perfect for.

Source: bought one. Is great.

Same. Bolt owner checking in. It's fucking awesome and was - to me and my family- the obvious choice. It's not for everyone, but if you can afford it and your lifestyle allows for it, it's an easy decision.

Slowly but surely EV's will be the default choice. Prices will continue to fall, infrastructure will improve, and gas will get ridiculously expensive. The tide is changing.
