I haven't driven more than 90 miles on a single charge so just estimating but the conditions have been pretty much perfect for EV driving (cool temps, not much HVAC use, 35-65MPH on fwys due to traffic). Yesterday's OC to LA trip yielded some ridiculous numbers so this morning it showed...

Yup. Eventually, we'll probably see it included. I say wait if you can the deals will be coming. Two week update with the Bolt: So far so good. Some little things are annoying: the sunshade visors don't slide out, no sunglass holder, no homelink, no little tray left of the steering wheel...

I'm not an expert when it comes to leases and I know manufacturer's change the names of their "discounts" but I don't think the entire $7500 was passed on directly to me. How it was explained was $2250 in Customer Cash Rebate + $1,250 in cash incentive then $33xx in dealer discount off msrp...

Yeah, I'm sure the numbers aren't ideal but given my unplanned car situation I'm OK with it. My goal was to get into another EV at approximately the same payments with zero out of pocket other than cost to tint, HOV stickers and slight increase for insurance. I do notice the high residual but...

Here's my lease info

That seems to be the case for now. I tried to get them to discount $4100, which would have brought my payments under $300/mo. I would anticipate the good deals will be here by summer or Labor Day at the latest.

MRSP: $39,295 Sale Price: $35,925 GM incentive: $3500 36months 12,000 miles/yr $1000 down (this was from insurance payment for my eGolf total loss). $326/mo including taxes Premier Chevrolet in Buena Park. Tried to match Rydell $4100 discount off MSRP but they wouldn't since Rydell doesn't...

Interior space is good with plenty of headroom. Larger windshield than the eGolf. Seats are firm but comfortable on the LT model and slightly narrow. We're not that tall (5'7") and skinny so it's not an issue but I can see it being a problem if you need/want wider seats and that has been a major...

After having owned the Bolt for 3 days now I've come to see what you mean regarding Bolt vs. Golf. I'll probably write up something more comprehensive after more time but for now: -Bolt is faster and has longer range. Love being able to drive around all day and not worry about range but it's...

I see this on the CVRP site for eligibility: Except for rental, public and car share fleets, no single entity is eligible to receive more than two CVRP rebates either via direct purchase and/or lease as of January 1, 2015. All rebates issued prior to this date do not count toward the two...

The price was for 12k miles and includes taxes/fees for 30 months. Why no CA state rebate? Wouldn't it qualify since it's 30 months.

Wait, who typed "That deal really stinks..."? It's embedded in my quote, haha. Chevy introduced some Bolt incentives for April. Sub $300/mo deals seem pretty common now.

My 2015 SEL was rear ended and is a total loss. I was on month 23 of my 36 month lease. I made out ok due to low mileage, condition, etc. and will get about $1000 from the insurance company. Thinking of going to the Bolt or stay with eGolf. I know 2018s are coming but not until late this year...

Anyone else do the recall and notice torque issues? I'm thinking of taking mine (2015 SEL).

Also started receiving the message on one of my two key fobs about 11 months into the lease, 11k miles. Ignored it and not the message has not appeared again.
