Working from home last winter I could just leave my car parked for two weeks and wait the snow out. Can't do that with a battery.
Kinda hope current car makes it till 4680 cells with structural packs are a thing!
I tried really hard to skew the numbers in favor of a Tesla back in 2017/2018 when rebates were all the range and I still couldn't swing it.
Maybe it's a different story now that the used car market has tightened though.
We leased our Bolt, because the price was great ($6K for 3 years at 15K miles/year). When we replace it in a couple years, we will buy something similar, maybe another Bolt (GM really did a great job with this car IMO), and keep it until the wheels fall off. If something happens to my pickup anytime soon I may buy another gas-powered one, because I don't think EVs are likely to be good RV-towing machines for a number of years yet, but I don't expect to ever buy another ICEV daily driver.
The Bolt is nowhere near as quick as the Tesla, of course, but it's perfectly competent. Even manages to feel zippy though in a full race with an ICE car at full throttle it's clear that the Bolt is average at best. I like that it's nimble and tossable (though a sports car it definitely is not). And it's small, so it fits anywhere. It has enough power to roast the front tires, for better or worse.
We use it 99% for in-city driving and never DC fast charge aside from occasional 300 mile road trips to grandma's house. The range has been more than adequate, even in the winter. The most we ask of it on a routine basis is about 150 miles in a day, and it managed that fine even during the cold times of the winter (cold as defined by PNW standards, however). And we only charge it to 80% every night.
The seats kinda suck. They're worse than my Tesla's seats were, for sure, and I didn't like those seats very much (especially on an expensive car). The Bolt's seats don't make me hurt, but they don't make me happy either. Mostly flat, a bit hard, definitely the low spot on this car. Ours is a 2020 model, I haven't heard of any significant changes though.
At this point we have just over two years left on the lease (picked it up for just over 6K one-time payment for a 3 year high mile lease), and I will definitely be considering an outright purchase of another one at that time. Maybe the EUV. I'm disappointed the refreshed Bolt & EUV have the same relatively slow DC fast charge speed, but OTOH when we stop on the way to grandma's to charge, the fact that it takes 45 minutes to fill back up isn't really a big deal for us. We travel with two kids and it's a nice break to stretch our legs and use the facilities, etc. Since we only do that trip maybe a half dozen times a year, it's not a big issue for me overall.
Sold it for what little we could and bought a Model Y.
