The Bolt is one of the cheapest new cars you can buy period, is one of the most popular ride share cars, hertz has a butt load of them and rents then to ride share people, and best of all they have the slowest DC fast charging speed of about any car available( they are one of the worst offenders tying up dc fast chargers). I don't own an EV yet myself but this maybe the year since used prices are finally coming down to reality. I'm waiting to see what happens when most of the other makes gain access to Tesla's Super Charger network this year. I can charge for free at work, 120v at home till I get around to setting up a 240v option, and don't drive much day to day anyway.
Let’s say that a new electric car costs or will cost only $15,000. Does that mean the owners will not bother to learn how the battery of their car works, the only source of energy to make their new car go?
