Hertz Is Selling Plenty Of Low-Mile 2023 Chevy Bolt EV, Bolt EUV Units

Hertz is currently offering an array of low-mileage 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV models for sale, potentially leading to an exceptional opportunity for car buyers. The new listings follow reports released earlier this year that Hertz would reduce its EV fleet amidst fluctuating demand and high costs. The low-mileage 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV models are listed for sale in the low-$20,000 range, providing an appealing alternative to purchasing new from dealerships where significant market adjustments have inflated prices.

To this latter point, Celebration Chevrolet in Aurora, Colorado and Pierre Chevrolet in Seattle, Washington are adding $4,000 to $6,000 in market adjustments to new Bolts. By contrast, Hertz is listing a trio of used 2023 Chevy Bolt EUVs for sale in Denver, Colorado under $20,000, with mileage ranging between 37,680 and 29,022.

Although the low-mileage Hertz units are not eligible for the $4,000 used EV tax credit, their competitive pricing still positions them as an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.

The broader context of Hertz’s strategy includes a significant scale-down of its EV fleet, as reported earlier this year. Faced with lower-than-expected demand and higher operational costs, particularly in terms of EV repairs, Hertz decided to sell off a substantial portion of its electric fleet, including the Chevy Bolt models. This strategic pivot aims to reallocate resources towards more traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, which continue to see robust demand.

The Chevy Bolt was discontinued in late 2023. Previously produced at GM’s Orion Assembly Plant in Michigan, the 2023 Bolt features a lithium-ion battery and a single electric motor, the combination of which can produce as much as 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The final production units of the first-generation Bolt EV and EUV were completed in December 2023.

GM has confirmed the ongoing development of the next-generation Bolt, which is anticipated to arrive for the 2025 model year.

  1. At the Hertz page, use the filters to select the make, model, year and state to locate the best deal. There are other EV brands and even gas models on sale.

  2. All of the bolts I looked at none had heated seats or steering wheel.

  3. “Faced with lower-than-expected demand and higher operational costs, particularly in terms of EV repairs…”

    Translation: They did a terrible job of forecasting demand and estimating fleet costs and now they’re scrabbling to bail out.

    Did they even bother to do limited in-market testing in select areas to get a handle on real world demand and maintenance costs before jumping in with both feet? These clowns ordered 100,000 Teslas and 175,000 EVs from gm and NOW they’re figuring out the demand isn’t what they anticipated and costs are much higher?

    The incompetent CEO of Hertz should have been escorted out the door. Let him/her find their own way home.

    1. Stephen Scherr, who left last month. He didn’t understand that people who might want to buy an EV wouldn’t necessarily want to rent one while on the road (I’m one of them.)

      Fun fact: Hertz has had 5 CEOs in 4 years.

      1. Thanks for the interesting info Steve.

        Obviously share holders need to hold the BOD responsible for that kind of track record. They should all be gone.

  4. I looked into this awhile back and none of the fleet versions will have the heated seats or heated steering wheel. Also they won’t have the safety package with rear pedestrian alert and a couple other features in that safety package that I forgot about.

    Basically, it’s literally the base model LT1.

  5. I have a performance truck company and my wife was putting a ton of miles on her truck. So we bought one of these Bolt EUVs from Hertz with 5k miles on it. It has been fantastic and one of the best purchasing decisions ever! We had no idea how much we’d love an electric car and will probably always have on in the fleet going forward.

  6. So will these be eligible for Federal tax credit in the future?.. or is that going to go away before they’re eligible?

    Reply
    1. No, Hertz already got the tax credit. We just bought one and got the 2023 $7500 tax credit. Still sounds like a good deal. We enjoy our Bolt.

      1. Used EVs need to be at least 2 y.o. (among other requirements) to get the used vehicle tax credit.

  7. Not a deal, the prices are for base LT versions. Prices are higher than what you would have paid for a brand new LT with the federal incentive, but now you get to pay more for a used rental fleet EV with 8 year old EV tech that was driven by people who dgaf about it. Not worth it IMHO, I’d rather get new gen of EV with longer range, faster charge, and nacs plug that are coming out this year. Equinox, ex30 come to mind, and whoever else may be dropping prices to compete in a tight market. It’s gonna be buyers market this year and next. Let these bottom suckers who did dealers add ons and market adjustments kiss my patootie. And I just played this game for plug in and they killed each other to sell to me $1600 off MSRP and $2k of free dealer add ons ( real value probably $500), the EV market will be Even better deals to be had. The covid mark up is over let the scum be thirsty 😂

  8. Bought my bolt euv new for like 4k more and it was fully loaded after tax rebate. These prices for used are rip offs and what you would pay for an lt model new after tax rebate. Just buy new

  9. In what world is 36,000 mi on a 1-year-old vehicle low mileage?

    Reply
  10. We have one of the original Bolts, purchased in 2017. We also had an even older Tesla Model S. We liked both cars, but the Bolt shows its age worse than the Tesla after 100K miles. Hopefully GM will do the right thing and issue a recall the major steering issues a lot of Bolt owners suffer with after 50K mi.

    1. One reason I bought the Bolt EUV is because there is practically no maintenance. What high repair costs are they talking about?

      Reply
      1. High maintenance cost was probably more on Teslas. Drivers love to do burn outs (tire wear) and suspensions are fragile

        Reply
    2. Cruze had the same issue with electric assist steering

  11. If no one is renting EVs how come a late model 2023 have over 30.000 miles ?
    Just asking for a friend
    nearly all the bloody bolts 2023 models have over 25.000 miles so who’s driving them ?
