Should you buy a 2023 Chevy Bolt or wait? 

I don't recommend buying a 2023 Bolt like I have. Well, to start with. You won't know what to do with that extra $10 to $20 thousand you will save buying that EV. Next, you will fill guilty everytime you pass a gas station. Oh, and you won't have the fun of spending $5 to $15 thousand more on a home charger. My Bolt charges on 110 and 220 outlets. The biggest drawback is seeing these poor car companies that want to sell you an expensive EV, crying that you didn't buy one. Finally, do you really want that 2023 Bolt that outperformed even a Tesla? See how guilty buying one will make you feel!!!!

Always good advice not to buy unless you have to, but I would not buy the 2025 Bolt because GM needs a year or two to iron out the bugs.

Love my 23 Bolt especially the price I paid with the rebate

Picked up my 23 EUV I’m November 22. 17k free miles later and still loving it, saves needless miles on my truck and will extend the life of that by many years.

I was going to wait for the new Equinox EV but found out it will be made in Mexico so it would qualify for the tax credit. So I found a new 2023 Bolt EUV last week and now she is sitting in my garage.

I am currently looking at gretting a 2023 Chevy Bolt EV as my first ev this week. Chevy is still offering to assist setting up a level 2 charger at my house and getting the tax break.

I may trade in my Bolt for the newer one. With the problems GM has faced lately like the workers strike and moving EV releases later in 2024 I believe the new Bolt will be introduced in 2025 like at the LA Auto Show or the one in Detroit, but will actually go on sale in 2026. It seems highly unlikely that Bolts will be sold in 2025. Another gr8 video as usual. 🚙🇺🇸🔌🌩️

I bought a 2020 Bolt Premier that just had its battery replaced. My advice don't wait. There are some experts think that 2025 Bolt will be a no show. My 2020 Bolt Premier is the best car I ever own.

If I were in the market I would pick up a Bolt EUV for sure. But, my 2017 Volt is serving me well and I really like the car. Maybe in a couple years when the new Bolt EUV comes out it will be in my plans.

I bough my 2023 Chevy Bolt last year because the design has been through its teething phase since production in 2016, and had some big problems that had to be solved in the pre 2023 models. The new Chevy Bolt coming out in 2025 or 2026 will have a totally new bleeding edge design and likely many problems. Once I have seen reviews and reports of predecessor years having gone through 100,000 miles and what problems they have, only then will I consider it. I want reliablity and minimal maintiance above all, I don't buy cars to try to resell it or worse fininace it 3 years later, instead I buy so I can have a car I can drive into the ground past 200,000 miles and get my money's worth.

I think I'd rather stick to my beloved 2019 Premier and wait for the newer Bolt to see if it's any better... IF they ever really roll it out as Mary Barra promised.

The current one has a very good reliable reputation buying something that just came out is always a risk. I did hit a large metal object on the freeway at 80 miles an hour, after I did check under the car it didn’t seems to be matter because of the strong metal shield on the bottom. I had been told by the people at the charging station that something like this happened to his friend with other EV; he had to change the whole battery pack. Not sure they would keep that because it cost more.

Excellent video. This is exactly where I am at right now.

I'd love to get the 25 model premier but I'm also interested in the 24 equinox ev 3L T

My Son has 49,000 miles on his 2023 Bolt Euv. , he loves it ,

The 1st-gen Bolt is old tech now, but a great deal; I'm glad I got my '23 euv Lt.

I’ve been researching to buy my first ever EV and your channel has been the best resource out there. The deal I’m looking at is for a new 2023 EUV PREMIER REDLINE for $28K. Think that’s a good deal?

Question? Since the Bolt has the slower charging speed is also the one with the less degradation in the battery pack when DC charge? By the way good content .

I don’t think the new Bolt will come out as a 2025 model but I’ve heard it will be a 2026, available in late 2025.

There is NOTHING that can be improved on my 2022 EUV PREMIER that would cause me to change which is why I think GM discontinued the model. If didn't get dated, out of style or become technically obsolete . . . it just achieved the pinnacle of perfection and had nowhere elsewhere to go. My advice, if a buyer finds a new or used one that suits, grab it. You can thank me later.

I bought a 2023 EUV because that's what the dealer had in stock, and my previous car had just got t-boned. With a decent insurance settlement and the tax rebate it was the proverbial offer I couldn't refuse. For anybody considering whether to go with the EV or EUV, note that the EUV has just enough room in the back--if you remove that false floor--for a full 17" spare tire+wheel to lay flat, and it's a perfect fit so it won't bounce around. I live in a remote rural environment with lots of dirt roads and sharp rocks, so having a real spare makes for real peace of mind.

Don't do it. The battery and drive train in the 2023 Bolt is identical to the previous models with the same abysmal charging system. I have a 2020 Bolt, it is now winter, and I will not get better than 40 kW charging rates and it drops to about 12 kW between 70% and 80%. Unless you do all your charging at home and only drive around town or no further than 160 miles round trip (the most you will get in winter unless you use no heat in the cabin) in the winter, wait for other options with faster charging. By the time the new Bolt comes out there will be a lot of better options.

I'm looking at buying a used 2023 EUV LT from Hertz. Does anyone know which federal tax credit it qualifies for? At first I thought it was the $4k credit for used EVs, but then read the requirements for the $7.5K credit, and it seems like it qualifies too. Great video! Thanks for making them.

I have a 2023 bolt with 8000 miles. I wanted to sell but didn’t realize it depreciated so much in the year and a half I owned it. Not only that but the NYS tax incentive I would owe back . (800.00)Do you think the bolt will depreciate anymore than it has? 16,500 was the dealer offer. I’m not sure if I should just keep it or take the loss. I would never buy new again.

Not everyone have a house.. or a charger .. charging outside is for someone with that scenario.

The 2025 Bolt should have the NACS charging, right? A huge advantage if travelling is a concern.

I have been searching for a 2023 Bolt EUV but I am finding that no Chevy dealership near me is interested in getting one for me. I have said I will pay to have it transported and asked about dealer trades and have been ghosted by 5 different dealerships. Really upsetting. If you work at a dealership and know of a way I can get one to Denver I would greatly appreciate it as I hage bewn ready to move on one for over a month now. Thanks Metz

The 2025 won’t have Apple CarPlay

So Louis after your lease is up what will you be getting next? I may have mentioned this before on one of your videos but I bought a slightly used 2023 Premiere with S & S and SC 2700 miles for $31k OTD. It is my third Bolt ('17,20, and now the EUV) My dealer just bought all the Bolts EUVs from a dealer in Brunswick GA and they do not have any upcharges on their cars. I'm in the Atlanta metro. Hopefully GM will put the brake lights where they belong, paint the top portion of the rear bumper and connect the top rear bumper better to the car. I looked at a few EUV's and they all have a disconnect where the top of the rear bumper meets (or should meet) to the hatch area. Pretty poor build/design. Also, who knows how much the '25 Bolt will cost when it releases. Or the Equinox for that matter. Oh and they just received a Blazer EV. It looks good but like I said before, there's no way I'm driving a Chevy EV with the word Blazer on it! 😬🤪

As you may know, Hertz is selling off their EV cars. I test drove a 2023 Bolt EUV LT with 11k asking 20k price tag. I would prefer the model with the sunroof, but I think I could live without it. My question is, any thoughts on buying an EV that was being used as a rental? Or if I do decide to buy it from Hertz, is there anything I should check before buying, or maybe just wait for the 2025? Thanks

I am debating the EV or EUV. What is a good price for a 2023 Bolt EV 2LT? I hear the turning radius is tighter on the EV. My insurance would go up by $60 per month for a Bolt EV vs. my VW Golf R which is crazy.

you should buy a model 3, not a bolt lol

Would you say a 2022 EUV Premier from the GM buyback is a good buy? There's 3 in Louisville that's all priced the same with really low miles, but they were all buybacks from the battery recall (i'm assuming from the recall #).

But the new Bolt will not have android car nor CarPlay. Get the 2023 while you still can!

a friends of mine completely regrets buying a Bolt. Cheaply made,

Not worth vehicle , this vehicle is good for a young boy just got license and 4 other kids age between 10-15 years space wise. still many things are manual, shaky when break at 55 mph, more plastic used to in its build. Butts will blast after sitting 2 hours in driver seat itself not sure other seats comfort. Low quality Bose speakers , suddenly increasing speed when you set adaptive cruise control ...etc .Except(infotainment,corgo space with down style) some features its more are less equal to a car worth of $15K-20K.

The only thing that I don't like is the next one will not have Apple CarPlay and Android auto. I think that's a huge mistake for Chevrolet to take that out

You should wait and you should only buy when you absolutely need to. Then, buy a Tesla instead. No joke.
