Used Chevrolet Bolt EVs Are Somehow Even Cheaper Than You Think

Tesla Model S prices have dropped dramatically. Many can now be had for Model Y and Model 3 prices, but with far more range and performance.

Kia and its Hyundai have been more or less killing it with their EV presence. The two automakers offer various compelling options, including the 576-horsepower EV6 GT and the relatively affordable Hyundai Kona EV. But one vehicle is particularly notable: the EV9, Kia’s first three-row EV. It offers an 800V powertrain and seating for up to seven normal-sized people. The EV9 has already entered the market with a respectable price tag of $56,395, but a recent incentive from Kia means you can now se…

Over the past year and a half, used car prices have taken a nosedive. The days of paying over sticker price for generic new cars and receiving eye-watering Carvana estimates are long past us. As the market shifts, the barrier to purchasing an electric vehicle has lowered significantly. Plus, with the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) used EV tax credit, now is a great time to get behind the wheel of a second-hand electric car. Better yet, if the upper limit of one’s budget is…

As the automotive industry rapidly evolves towards electrification, high-voltage batteries are finding their way into various applications. From mining trucks to hydrofoil boats, electric powertrains are finding their homes in many unsuspecting vehicles. But one area is particularly fascinating: the classic car domain. Due to the high-torque nature of electric motors and battery packs that allow for a low center of gravity, swapping an old gas-guzzling engine for a battery pack and electric moto…

As I drove Richard Hicks’ matte blue Fisker Ocean One down Highway 95 in Palm Beach Gardens, it was hard not to like the car. It was comfortable and plenty quick, despite an accelerator pedal that felt a little wonky during the transition from positive to negative motor torque. But as the ride went on, I noticed that the cabin felt a little warm. Since Richard took delivery of his Ocean last October, the ventilation system never worked—and he says Fisker never fixed it. So what will happen if Fi…

Stanford University's latest research shows degraded lithium-metal battery cells can be "revived" after sitting at low states of charges.

Used Tesla Model S Plaids are quickly lowering in price. Today, used examples are in the $60,000 range with relatively low miles. The Model S Plaid cost $131,440 in 2021, so buyers can find these sedans for nearly half their original prices. But here’s the kicker: a 2024 Tesla Model S Plaid now starts at $91,630. So, for those who bought one in 2021, their cars instantly became worth $39,810 less to savvy buyers. Add luxury sedan depreciation into the mix, and Model S Plaids are going for nowher…

The Chevrolet Bolt EV has had quite the glow-up since its U.S. market launch in late 2016. Now, even after its production run has ended, it’s somehow even more of a screaming electric deal than ever. Think EVs aren’t affordable? The Bolt EV just threw that argument out the window in 2024. Today, the 2023 Bolt EV starts at $27,495, an entire $10,000 less than it was seven years ago. While the Bolt EV still qualifies for the $7,500 tax credit, the IRS now allows the tax credit to be deducted from…
