I’m not a big BEV guy, but that’s around the price the Bolt needs to be in order to sell in volume. It’s worth 25k, or less imho.
If I was forced to choose between the Bolt and the Trailblazer, I’d pick the Bolt 100% of the time. Luckily, there are other manufacturers out there, so I’m not stuck choosing between two phoned in lowercase gm offerings.
Fair enough comment, which is surprising considering the source. I agree, Bolt is a gangly hatchback, and <25K is where it should be priced. This is a part of GM I fail to understand, they could have made the Bolt better looking, and saved money by making it more simple (ala Tesla). I mean when you buy a stamping die to make doors or a hood, they do not charge extra if it is good looking part. GM needs to do better on the next gen of EV's, Lyriq is a looker, thankfully.
The Lyriq is also priced $20k+ above the average new vehicle purchase price ($38k depending on source). I suspect the Lyriq’s market will be even more limited than the Bolt, resulting in even more market share loss for lowercase gm.
Also, gm can’t really make this platform look all that much better because the goofy looking forward set A pillar is used for front end rigidity. It’s not the panels that make the this car look weird, it’s the proportions. This is a 10 year old platform, which is basically a Sonic.
At least the Lyric is a Cadillac though, so you’d expect it to be pricey compared to the average new crossover.
And yeah, the higher up you go, the more limited the market becomes.
This car just doesn’t look good. A 10 year old Sonic looks better.
I hear through the local dealership that Lyric is getting a lot of inquiries even though very little has been released on it. GM will start taking reservations for the Lyric soon (September), and we will see how many hand raisers there are. I think Lyriq could end up being Cadillac’s best selling model in the USA within 2 years of start of deliveries (50K+ annually).
Yeah I dunno about that number, sounds a little ambitious… That’s like the combined sales of the xt4 and xt5… Both of which can be found for under $40k. That’s a big ask for sales in a niche market established and dominated by Tesla.

In most of the country, if you’re looking to buy an EV for around 30K. Choices are
Nissan Leaf w/150 mile EV range
Chevy Bolt w/249 mile EV range
Chevy Bolt EUV w/249 mile EV range
And with Nissan about to release a $40K + crossover I think the Leaf’s days are limited.
VW’s ID4 is supposed to be in that range thanks to the government rebates. I think we’ll see more EVs enter the 30K range soon.
Hopefully VW will be honest this time and not get caught fudging the numbers. They bought shit load of those VWs back and gave a $hit load of free cars to those defunct buy backs.
We recently purchased a new loaded 2021 Bolt LT with premium paint for $25,185. At that price, it’s a pretty fair deal. MSRP however was about $40k, which is just nuts. At least GM dropped the MSRP on the 2022’s, but they still need to offer some discount.
Does that price include any state tax incentives?
The price of $25,185 for our 2021 Bolt LT with all available options does not include any state incentives, as we don’t have any in Minnesota.
We purchased the car at the end of May, and we did have to qualify for $1500 off for currently owning a GM car. Also we had to take out a loan with GM financial for an additional $500 off. We paid the loan off right away with no penalty, so paid like $25 in interest. The remaining discounts were all non conditional. The total of all discounts was $15k off MRSP, which was $40,185.
Nice, at $25K the Bolt represents a good value.
Sometimes a price is so good you have to stop and consider it, but with the battery fires on the Bolt, I’m afraid there’s no way I could justify it. I would charge while I sleep. I wouldn’t want to risk a battery fire then.
The only Bolt fires have been with battery packs made in Korea. Since mid 2019 MY or so, all battery packs are being made in Michigan.
Starting with the 2020 model year, the battery packs were updated with a slightly different chemistry and an additional 21 miles of range too There is no indication that these newer battery packs, made in the USA, are subject to the same issue, although I don’t blame anyone for holding off until more is known.
Totally fair point, battery fires are scary, but that is the 2019 and older Bolts that have the issue.
I get lots of flyers from gm regarding the Bolt and are trying to temp me with the EV. The ICE flyers have gone down to almost nothing. The local dealerships continue to fill my email bucket with ICE advertisements. BTW,
gm’s 20th issue Open Roads Magazine has an EV article titled Myth Busting…25 miles of charge range per hour while you sleep….not on the road charge though while on a long trip of 300 miles or more. No mention of charge sustainability… Anyway, its 6 pages of marketing for short trips trying to convince people it’s ok for every type of drive…right.
Lastly, IMO, offensive, an article regarding dignity and equality. Teaming with OZY that explores racial disparity. Basis is the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, leaders of gm and Chevrolet approached OZY about collaborating on a series to explore the challenges of racial disparity in America… Lots of liberal overtones of psychological influence towards equality…
JMO, little gm should get the hell out of politics and focus on making cars that don’t place 9th or on the verge of being sunsetted or continuously lower cylinders and hp and worry about those people buying gm instead of what color was deprived …oops they have, it’s called China.
Anyway, it’s the 20th issue. I also got an individual email as well.
Geez gm…
I think the lesson with the Bolt, is that you should wait to buy one once the dealer is tired of it sitting on their lot for a year.
The dealer had a dozen or so 2021 Bolts, all among the last produced before the changeover to the 2022 refresh. They said they had wanted to get even more of the last ones from GM, because they knew they would sell. This was in May when we bought ours, with a build date of April 2021.
Most of them are now gone.
Well around here, new 2020s are still easily available on the lots. I even saw a new 2019 about a week ago.
Probably the dealer was just making it sound like they were flying off the lot because they wanted you to buy one.
He told me they wanted more, long after we signed the papers. One test drive, and without the salesman, and we were sold. The car sold itself. It’s not a great looker, but that’s trivial to us. Not trying to impress anyone.
Bolt sales are way up from last year, and they really did fly off their lot. When I went to pick up the plates, most were gone. There are a few languishing that you have seen. Those Bolts are probably poorly optioned, like an LT without DCFC for example.
Every market is unique too. In
Minnesota, we have few choices in this price range. There are exactly zero other EV’s we can buy here with this much range for around $25k..
Just want to correct an error I made.
We bought our 2021 Bolt in May, but the build date was March of 2021, not April as I incorrectly stated. I just checked the tag on the door jamb.
Also only $1k of the total $15k discount was a dealer discount. The rest was GM. It was GM motivated to move these last 2021’s with the 2022 refresh hot on their heals. It wasn’t the dealer desperate to get these factory fresh Bolts off the otherwise near empty lot.
