You can find new Bolt EV's for a lot less than that. The MSRP on the LT model is $37,500, and with the Federal tax credit, that is $30,000 - and you can probably get it for less than the MSRP.

Most "economy" cars don't get 119MPGe, and cannot be energized by sunshine. All ICE cars require much more regular maintenance, and in total, they will cost several times as much per mile. So, you can save something like $700 every 10K miles you drive. So, in 100K miles the $30,000 (or less) becomes $23,000 or less.
