Battery degradation so far appears not to be a big concern in certain models such as the Bolt or Tesla. After an initial bit of degradation the first couple years, it seems to slow to something like 1% per year. I think even the gen II Leaf is doing much better.
Another consideration is that Bolt owners are likely to receive new battery packs. When used car prices return to normal, the Bolt might be a good value. Severe CO weather might reduce the 250 mile range to only 150. Don't know if that would be acceptable or not in your situation.
