Update.

I bought a 2017 Bolt Premier last Thursday. Every option, 32,000 miles, $24,020 OTD. Original MSRP was $43,495.

I'm not thrilled with the price (that is the most I have ever spent on a car) but I really like the Bolt. For now the plan is to keep the VW Sportwagen but we will see if that lasts long term. My wife drove the Bolt to work today and I suspect she will try to steal it.

So far I've driven it about 250 miles with an average of 3.5 miles / kWh which is about right for this time of year and temperature. The estimated range is quickly rising from the 158 miles when I picked it up. (The average efficiency was 1.4 miles / kWh when I picked it up)

I also picked up a Level 2 charger that I need to install this weekend.
