The Bolt is a great deal. Glad you included it in the list even though GM has lost it's mind and cancelling production. It really is a car that hits the affordable EV niche that does most things pretty well. DCFC isn't fast, but fast enough to be able to do regional travel without too much drama.
How could he not have included it?
@@gigglybeastbecause it will not be built anymore (GM discontinues that Model)
Totally
Nah, they can catch on fire..
Just remember that with the lease loophole, Hyundai Motor Group EVs also get the 7500
It's totally bonkers that a car with a $40,000 price tag is considered "cheap".
Hello, recently got interested in electric cars for a friend. And when I get interested i totally immerse myself. Really enjoy your videos and honest direct opinions. and your top 10 lists. I live in Europe so maybe they are not available in the us yet but I did miss brands like mg in your top ten lists while that is a car especially the mg4 that I am really looking into as a relatively affordable electric car. Then there is for example byd as well. Thanks again for all the great content.
Great video! Thank you.
The Bolt looks like a good buy. Can't even afford one of those.
I will stick with my Leaf.
Rode with a friend in a model Y. It seems to have a fairly stiff suspension. I drove my Leaf over a stretch of road we test drove the model Y on and the Leaf had a much smoother ride.
He bought it for his wife. She enjoys not having to pump her own gas and she can go the same number of days before she has to charge it. She likes that it's less expensive to charge, however the suspension could be a little softer.
I’ve got a 2022 Y and I agree on suspension. I hear newer ones are softer. For me the pros outweigh the cons, so I’ll stick with it
Agreed. I had a bolt euv now a model y performance. They make the ride "sporty" aka a POS. Help meee
The Kona EV is faster than it’s 0-60 would suggest. It is front wheel drive and has tons of torque so it’s impossible to launch quickly without spinning the tires. My 2021 Kona spins all the way to 35 MPH. It’s nuts. If the car had AWD or better traction control, the 0-60 would be MUCH quicker. The car feels extremely fast, esp is Sport Mode.
Maybe it was the larger wheels or the performance model. That have a darker ride. But the dual motor long range ones ride smoother on the smaller wheels.
Just bought a 2017 bolt for just under $20k, but it hadn't had the battery recall performed yet. So I now have a brand new battery. Other than the over bolstered uncomfortable seats. I'm very happy.
I leased a KIA Niro EV in 2021, because there were no Chevy Bolts available for sale, due to the recall. I actually liked the Niro very much, but always thought it was too large for me. When the chance came up for me to order a new 2023 Bolt, I took the opportunity
to do so....and I'm a happy man!!! Nice and compact, plenty of zip, handles nicely, and I very seldom travel long distances, so the slow rapid charge problem doesn't bother me.
I appreciate your work! Blessings, turbo
In New Zealand we must have different battery sizes to the model you put at number 3 on your list, with ranges just under 200 miles and just over 300 miles. If we take the shorter range Kona at $63300NZ we actually have 11 models that come in cheaper and 9 of these 11 have a longer range. The MG 4 excite at $52000NZ promises a range of 450km or 280 miles.
What if I go for Bolt
Alex, What are the top 10 most affordable Electric Rick Shaws as seen by you in Thailand?
Looking to turn in my 2022 Leaf as my 2 year lease is up this month and buy a Bolt. From what I understand the car is good for the tax credit of $3250 for being made in America. However it doesn't qualify for the $3250 credit on the battery as that is not made in America. I truly love the 22 Leaf but the Chadamo DC option, the air cooled- not water cooled battery and the range of 160 miles as I had the 40KW battery were deal breakers. Not to mention no tax credits. Wish Nissan had seen that coming. Of course the Aryia has these features but 50K is way out of my price range.
Love my electric mini Cooper, charge in my garage with a level 1 so don’t care about fast charging
and how many hours or days for that???
@@aprolifix I usually only need to charge it every 3-4 days and just plug it in overnight
@@aprolifix A very large battery will charge from 0 to 100% in about 9 hours on a 240Volt.
Do you wait till your ICE tank is empty before you fill up?
Maybe you do, by reading your comment you are not too bright.
Think before you spew.
@@BioniqBob ha I think you are the one thats not very bright! he said Level 1 thats means 120V. Not 240v . maybe you should think 2x and read carefully before you spew genius .
@@aprolifix You are the one not so bright , I was talking to you. "Days" Spewing Fool.
How doese it work at -30 or -50 degrees?
How is it to live in a place with below-freezing temperatures?
@@Yowzoe very cold 🥶 don't last
@@randyyoung8930 I wouldn't last. I have nothing but respect for people who can live and work in the cold. Nice to visit, but my internal thermostat is set pretty high.
Purchased my Model 3 RWD end of May, $43,450 out the door.
What happened to the Volvo XC30?
I’m waiting with anticipation for the Equinox EV and Blazer EV with over three hundred miles of range. I hope that their rides are tuned as well for ride as their ICE equivalents. Better steering is a hope that I’m waiting to hear about.
I got the Bolt. Equinox and Blazer having no Carplay is a deal breaker for me.
Can you buy all those cars for those prices? How about dealer markups?
This is no mark up now. Apr is too high. Car sales is good down
2 ways to buy an EV
Cheap for some. Cheap for me is under 10k. I'll wait till these cars are on the used market. I'll keep riding my bike.
Or maybe you can get a better job?
@@EforElectric To old.
@@EforElectricyou know the average American makes around 40 to 50,000 a year right? Get a better job? Come on man that was low.
Right now May 2024, the popular opinion of full EV’s has dropped dramatically and for the buy low buyer that likes to negotiate there’s opportunities
I'm looking into this because I'm an Uber Driver and both then and Lyft have committed to a 100% electric driver force within the next decade or two, and all I gotta say is if they wanna force drivers into EVs then the price of cars like the Ioniq and Niro seriously need to come down to earth.
I’m sorry. Far from complicated, the chart is really helpful. Reading is a good thing. It is the most efficient way to garner information. More can be garnered from the chart than talk.
Tesla’s prices are MUCH more stable and easier to understand than any others that use dealers. It might be the only one that you can actually get at the prices you mentioned.
Yes, I had an 8-track tape deck in my 1968 Roadrunner, back in 1976.
We went through nearly every car on this list before buying a Bolt EUV last month. I can agree with most of it except for the Kona. If anything, it should be at the bottom of the list. The car is spartan, noisy and in dire need of an refresh.
The Bolt seriously impressed me in spite of the recall. I swore I'd never own a GM product. It's criminal that GM is ending production on it.
The list goes on price not how good a car is
Good to have you back Alex, glad you seem to have reached a better place.
This is the Alex I followed.
Wow the Bolt really is a good deal!
Upvote this comment if you scratch your head every time someone from the media tells us the Ioniq 5 is "retro"! I just don't see it, dude, it looks super modern to me. Some butt-sphincter said that "hey look, it has a square motif, so now you have to think about pixels, and then you have to think that pixels automatically means retro", and everyone keeps repeating that dump load like the cult of Manson. N.B.: I do understand what retro pixels mean, I've been gaming since the 90s and nowadays I enjoy retro platformers a lot like the new TMNT game etc.
the Kona doesn't even have a timestamp
All i hear is buy low mileage series 3 used buicks (up to '07). Best engine ever made.
And this fall of 2023, I believe prices will continue to “Fall” further due to increasing supply & softening demand. Battery costs are continue if to decrease as well!
..but are they prices including taxes and fees like we do in the UK?
No they are not, they ignore state based sales taxes etc. - however on the other side they also exclude individual state incentives like low income incentives in CA, and general incentives elsewhere (in addition to FTC), there is in fact no 'drive-away" universal price for a car in the USA, every person's personal situation and every state's approach to incentives means that the actual cost to purchase is unique to every person.
I have a Chevy in my driveway I have put $4000 dollars into and it still does not run!I am leaving it there until one day we have a Chevy lets burn it to the ground party !or I have the sledge-o-matic and for 20 dollars you can bash it anywhere but the windshield party I havent decided which party i will have but soon!
I love my chevy bolt euv. That said GM is bringing it back next year don't know which model and i am hearing the bolt EV. If you ask me I would rather have them cancel the EV and just do EUV because it looks better..
hey, I'm new to EVs and just entering the market for one now. My friend had a Bolt that was recalled, but from this video and others I understand that the bolt EV or EUV is going to be the one for me, because it's what I can afford if there's a tax credit still. You said that GM is bringing it back next year… What's your source for this, cause I can't find that anywhere… Thanks
When you put "cheapest" in your title....... Maybe name price as soon as you present the car. Just an idea
I traded in my used 2015 Nissan Leaf for a uswd 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. I am still waiting for a battery replacement from GM. Compared to the Leaf the Bolt for me is a better electric vehicle.
IMHO, when charge times get down under 10 min for 200 miles of range is when there will be serious competition against ICE cars. This is also assuming there are readily available fast charges. Cost and convenience.
I thought they stopped producing the bolt?
Gettin the $7500 rebate discounted from the lease is far from the norm. Tesla for example wont do it. Hyundai only for some models. Kia does not have ve the full 7500.
Should have had MG's but maybe they are not in the US??
I think you should do a international version of this in Euros.
This is almost impossible because brands have different prices in Eu countries and the difference for some models can be several thousand €.
For example, the cheapest Ioniq 5 costs €43,900 in Germany but €49,295 in the Netherlands. Don't ask me what their specs are and I only checked the price from the official website for that market.
Good to see you have returned to good informative videos with your unique humorous style. I was disappointed and getting tired of your recent hater rants.
I'm curious, why didn't Fisker make this list?
Because you can't buy it yet?
@@overcaffeinatedengineering They have started deliveries first in Europe and now in the US.
All these prices are guinea pig pricing, r& d recovery. Maybe for all but the leaf. In the next few years as the big manufacturers start selling cars en masse , good cars that they will not release right now as it would cut into their profits from ice cars before they are ready to convert all manufacturing to electric. I expect prices to drop on average by $10 000 or even $20 000,or these models to be stopped and better more compelling to be sold, under 150kw charging right now is a joke, Nissan has to do this as they have no active cooling system but others i don't understand.
All in all, most of these cars prices cut drastically when they are selling in big numbers, or when governments give better discounts due to forcing many to convert. I predict that by 2025 we will see most normal cars selling for 20 000 or less and give the performance of the kia or hyundai. One thing to also look out for is the second hand market. right now most cars sold new are business cars, they will demand the range and fast charging and the second hand market will be selling these a lot better than less compelling cars unless prices drop much faster and much lower than what we see in ice cars.
The future looks very bright for car buyers in every market, we will see ford release a ford focus electric car that will sell well and others will do the same, but ev's are much cheaper to manufacture and other than the battery costs of parts are very low.
Coming soon, 20mph speed limits and 15min cities.
Excellent summary, believe you missed the excellent LEAF Plus with 212 miles EPA range and $38k msrp...
@Guybedau: I agree the Leaf should have been on the list, but to call it “excellent” prevents me from upvoting your comment. CHAdeMO connector? Really?
Mazda is absolutely adorable, I drove one for almost 3 years and unfortunately the charging speed kills it completely. There is no point in buying it today. It would have to be capable of 100kW charging for this to make sense, and it will never happen because Mazda limits the charge because they don't want the battery to degrade before the warranty runs out. Get a Tesla.
The Chevy Bolt is being discontinued!!
Returning next year 2024 ,stay tuned.
Chevy is by far the better choice
Wait about 2 years for Carmageddon, circa 2025. Cheaper BEVs from China, like the Volvo EX30 in the USA, BYD Seagull in Europe, and Tesla's next generation platform vehicles globally, will drive down prices for competing BEVs and ICE cars. We can expect legacy ICE car inventories to rise and new and used car prices to fall precipitously. It will likely be a bloodbath for legacy automotive OEMs (with at least a few bankruptcies, mergers, and acquisitions likely), but a great windfall for car. buyers. Some say it has already begun.
I hope you're right. Still, hard to beat under 20 grand for Bolt right now, even if you sell it in two or three years for a Volvo EX 30
Yes the price of ev came down and is affordable more than ever. However, we pay road tax when we fill up at the pump. Government will have to add an $1000 extra on to ev to cover the lost from gasoline car. It’s coming. Just wait.
Only $1,000.00 No problem. They will still end up cheaper. Next.
...only if the shortsighted boneheads take over in D.C.
30k is cheap?ok
The Ionic 5 does NOT charge at 350kw. Hyundai say it can charge from 10% to 80% in 18 mins when connected to a 350kw charger.
Maximum charge rate is about 240kw
Still 18 min 😉
Yes it can do it in 18 minutes. It certainly charges very fast, but it doesn’t charge at 350kw.
Where are the under 20k evs? Click bait.
I fill my car up in 5 minutes or less.
If WW3 breaks out and oil and gasoline production are reduced apx 20%worldwde between the year 2025 and 2030, The tipping point demand for EV's will happen overnight
with demand outstripping supply.
Before you can get the $7500 credit you need to have a tax liability exceeding that amount. Many seniors have little or no federal tax liability, so they have to pay full price.
Yeah, I was realizing the same thing. On the other hand, if you can afford one of these cars, there is a good chance that you have a substantial tax deferred 401k (or 403b) account, so it might be an opportunity to rollover tax-deferred funds into a Roth IRA and have the tax credit offset the tax you would otherwise pay.
Lease the car. Most dealers will take the $7500 right off the price.
@@GeeDeeBird : I see zero benefit in leasing. I want to buy a car not rent one. I pay cash to own it.
@@DairyAirGunners That's exactly what I thought until I spent some time looking into the details of exactly how auto leasing works. Turns out the lease payments only cover the expected depreciation. At the end of the lease, you can buy the car, trade the car in, or let the leasing company have it back. If the depreciation is more than projected, you get out. If the depreciation is less than expected, you get the leasing company to pay you the difference. With EV technology and pricing changing so quickly, leasing is a very reasonable option right now. It allows you to drive the car that's currently available, but bail out in the years of newer models make it more feasible.
What happened to the MG4?
Not sold in the US
And Chevy is stopping production of the Bolt. I really expected you to crack some kind a good joke about that one.
I feel obliged to ask why you're still taking such a US-centric view of cars when living in Thailand ! In Europe one of the best value EVs are those made by MG (a division of SAIC). I know they sell in Thailand too, Bjorn Nyland has one. There's also the sub-$20,000 Dacia Spring.
FWIW, there's a difference between the 'average price of a car' (simply take every model including Porsches, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces and Bentleys for example and divide it by the number of models) and the average price paid for a car which takes into account the few of those very high priced models actually bought by the public.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is tickling
my budget fancy.
None of these were below 20k why lie?
There are electric cars under 20k and u can make a top 10 there
the Bolt is the only good price but on old Platform will be legacy soon and unsupported wait for cheapest ultium platform.
Nice vid,
40k+ for an EV, is not me.
The Chevy @ 19k sounds great n looks ugly.
Guess the wait contiues.
My dream EV is :
300 mi+
@ around 30k with a rebate
& 30 min fast charge for 100+ mi

Thx,
My Eyez have seen the glory, of it long ago.
It's a real crossover (part EV, classified as a donor-cycle).
I wish, I lived in Sunny Cal or Miami.
Gotta talk to them about winter driving, anti theft, warranties n production schedules.
Does it even qualify, for a tax credit?
It's been yrs of waiting n now time to go back n ask, those burning Q's !
Should be Top 10 Ev's never to buy, not one goes 550 kms(345miles), so warm weather place's only where it never goes below 10C(52F), You are right the Bolt could be a big hit, but as usual GM screwed it up, and now canceled!
GM sucks..
My rule of thumb is to never buy new technology until it's 3-5 years old. Otherwise, you're just a beta tester.
A very good general rule, however sometimes that rule must be broken when the prices is really right and all signs point to the sweet spot
@@Yowzoe
The prices are really right to get you to buy the new technology. However, I have never seen ALL signs point to the sweet spot at the same time in early development.
@@ohioguy215 well, you can't be a perfectionist, you have to compromise. If all the stars align, all the incentives fall into place, including state, and the dealer markup does not happen, I can use a Bolt for two / three years and then sell without too much depreciation when EV technology is a little more mature. if I had loads of dough I wouldn't have to deal with this, but I am a low-budget peon.
@@Yowzoe
Oh I'm also a low-budget peon so I'm more of a realist than a gambler....not a perfectionist. As far as I know, infrastructure is insufficient and uncertain...correct me if I'm wrong. For example, California is trying to convince businesses to install 700 chargers. In the same paragraph, they're suggesting they would roll power supply to them to protect the grid. Another example, Lordstown, in Ohio, built just 31 of its electric pickup trucks before production issues arose. And I have no idea where the supply chain lies. I don't need all the stars to align but I do want to be certain an asteroid will not fall on my head.
@@ohioguy215 I see what you're saying. I think at this point a Bolt is a reasonably safe bet, as safe as can be got, and the most known and studied quantity. For now. and it fits a lot of my needs, but not all. I really would love to pick up a Ranger p-size EV truck at a reasonable price, but that looks to be years away.
If you spend $50,000 on an E.V. to save $80 a month on gas, you'll need 52 years to break even.
How long do you drive your ICE to make it free?
What a stupid thing to post. Which minute were you born?
At a dollar per 40 miles. I am laughing at you fools.
You are comparing an EV to Walking. LOL Go back to school.
Alex, you seriously put the Bolt in first place? Apparently you haven't heard that GM will stop production of the Bolt and offer other models in EV form. I hope people don't run out and buy the Bolt only to find it discontinued. Regardless of its current quality (or lack there of) I would not put the Bolt on top. GM is being dragged kicking and screaming into the EV world. There are much better choices such as the Ioniq series and Tesla. Just MHO.
The Bolt is the cheapest EV choice in the US in 2023, that is what the video is about. They are available to purchase today, check your Chevy dealership. Many of these cars have long waits to get a unit and you still get dealer markups. Last time I was in a Kia dealership that was $5k.
i dont see anything under 20k lol
I don't know what to tell you. Turn the sound on?
Tesla M3 is the best in the bunch. With the tax credit is about 35k and it's a car that happens to be electric. With the super chargers growing and the ability to fast charge this quick, it's the first real deal. Honestly if you haven't driven the 23 go drive it.
100% agree.
Why the hell would you but a tesla when there is better options out there. The m3 is a small and to low a car.
@@dennisbjergmadsen5163the M3 is an affordable electric car. Full featured quick, good range with heated seats heated wheel, decent sound system nice glass roof. Offers a hell of a lot more dollar for dollar than any other car
I believe that GM is working on an Ultima Bolt and that will be the "Tesla Killer" lol but I think we all know who the real winner is.....Nissan 🤣

Well, good to see you doing an “old style” video, in which you provide actual informative content, rather than your new style in which you have delusions of being an “investigative journalist.”
These all highlight why I haven't bought an EV yet, even though I would like to drive an EV. All of these have one or more shortcomings:
- Too hard to find
- Only available at a markup
- Too slow at charging
- Too small of range
- Annoyingly put all the controls on the touch pad
- Bland design
And those not on this list:
- Too expensive
If phone battery's are drained though fruity army gadgets what you think is gunna happen with the cars it's to bad people can't have anything good in this shit hole for a state fix are army first
for those that dont have the time watching the video: get a tesla model 3
Cheaper and better
NO
Now selling fireproof garages so your EV don't burn your house down, also fireproof tarps incase it catches fire when your on the freeway😮
If I lived in the US there is NO question I would RIGHT NOW be driving a Bolt. But I live in Canada ... and they are f'ing stupidly expensive and hard to find here (although my neighbor got one last month).
HOW STUPID you might ask? Where I live the CHEAPEST Bolt EV - new or used - is a 2019 with 30,000 miles (54,000 km) for $35,000 CDN or almost $27,000 US.
But there's no demand for EVs. Yeah ... not at those prices. It's almost as if every one except Tesla is trying to screw Canadians on EVs.
It is the same in the US. Tesla prices change daily, but the Bolt price changes every second. The actual price of a Bolt has nothing to do with the manufacturer's Suggested retail price. The dealers makeup there own price and it can change in an instant. It is such a scam. The dealers put the MSRP in the add because they are not required to show the addons.
@@ericgregori I hate stealerships and car salesmen so much.
There is no honesty in this vedio and it's a waste of time because it says under 20k and then gives a car that's 42k

Weak video if you gotta add in the tax credit its not that cheap
42k is not cheap 💀 cheap is anything under 20k I drive a $700 car for fucks sake and you forget Evs use up a lot more tires and God forbid you getting a crash with one you'll most likely total it
That's the case for most cars these days. For major damage, insurance companies would rather total than repair.
You have to wait years to get an EV, except Tesla.
