Reply to comment by SeaworthinessLeft88 in GM recalls 140,000 Chevrolet Bolt EVs over fire risks by chrisdh79

IONIQ 5 is a better car.

Amazed you could get one off the lot. That's great news. So hard to find an EV actually for sale nowadays.

Ioniq 5 is a better car but it costs twice as much minimum.

Well, it’s just the base trim with RWD. My understanding is that the AWDs with the higher trim package are the ones that are hard to find right now. They actually had another RWD SE on the lot too!

But yeah, I agree that it’s a better car. Just a little pricier and with no federal tax credit.

Oh, it's a lot pricier now that that the 2023 Bolt is $26,600. It's almost twice the price.

I didn't know the AWDs were more in demand. I like AWD, but it bums me out to give up the range. 300 miles (or 500km) is kind of a magic number to me.

It depends where you live. Winter conditions in my neck of the woods make AWD a necessity
