The new bolt has an 11 kw, 48 amp charger so you can get a full charge in about 6 hours.
I bought mine for $17k, with tax breaks they can be had for as low as $14k depending on your state.
My car payments are less than the gas bill on my old Subaru.
That’s… actually not bad. At all. Wow. I mean the range is still an issue for me right now, so I’m hoping that issue could be alleviated soon, but that really wouldn’t be bad. I’m currently spending around $20-25 per day on gasoline. 5 days a week that’s as much as $150/week, so $600 per month, maximum.
Yeah, I can definitely see the appeal… Maybe someday I’ll find a solution to my range predicament and it won’t be so bad
Yeah, I hope you can! Electricity is really cheap compared to gas (unless you live in California or Hawaii - but gas is also expensive in those states).
My work just installed a bank of 6 220 volt chargers that charge a low price (13 cents/kW-hr or about $9 for a full charge), which I feel is a great solution. If your company has a parking lot, maybe ask them if they would consider it? Some of the chargers do billing so it could be provided at relatively low cost. Chargers are a few thousand $ per install.
Not now, but my work office is soon moving even further away from where I live, another half hour or so, so I’m hoping parking is better there. If not, there’s no way I’d be able to do that range
