I leased a 2020 Bolt a few weeks ago and so far it’s been great. I’ve been interested in EVs for many years and considered a Leaf about 8 years ago when I replaced my last car but life circumstances at the time were not quite right. My car was wrecked back in October and we have not needed to replace it due to working and schooling at home, and just relied on my wife’s car. My job has now shifted to working from home permanently, but our kid will be returning to school soon and going to various camps this summer, and we decided it was time to replace the car that was wrecked to ease those logistics. The incentives on Bolts right now are huge and I liked the idea of a lease so we can see how well an EV works for a few years. I imagine there will be a ton more EV choices by that time, too.
My wife has actually been using the Bolt the most, taking it to work on the days she goes in. It’s been fun chatting with other owners online to learn the tricks and tips for owning an EV, exploring the charging network around town, and playing around with the regenerative braking. A lot can change in 3 years, but a couple weeks in I have no complaint and can see continuing with EVs in the future.
