As a Bolt fan, a 22/23 premier euv with all the bells and whistles is surprisingly affordable with only a few caveats.

Caveat one is they're speed limited to 92MPH. Probably not an issue. Second is more important - a slow DCFC (DC fast charge). If you want to go on long road trips though it probably isn't the car for you. Something like a used Ioniq 6 might be a better fit.

Have a bolt in a rural area, and I would trade so much for it to b b e an I6 instead. The range and charging speed improvements alone are so much better. Bolt is very frustrating on marathon drives. Would be good as a second car though.
