When the Model 3 starts production, the Bolt EV will get less expensive. And shortly after that, we should be seeing the new Leaf (with hopefully 200-250 mile range!), as well.

The new e-Golf and the Ioniq Electric have ~125 mile ranges, and the new i3 is ~114 miles - so that also puts market pressure on the Bolt EV.

My spouse wants to go test drive a Bolt EV - soon - so we may be getting one sooner than I thought. And if the new Leaf is not improved enough in the backseat - we probably will be getting a second Bolt EV early next year, when our e-Golf lease expires.
