Starting in 2024 you can transfer the credit to the dealer and they are required by law to apply the full rebate to the purchase price as a point of sale rebate.

Oh, I've been looking for a lease where that full $7,500 is included in the price, but so far I haven't been able to. Just finding a mostly base LT1 Bolt is also kind of hard as all the dealers seem to have only a few LT2 with several options and not much more than that. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
We still don't know for sure if the point of sale credit will be tax liability dependent or not yet. Not until 2024 comes. Plus, by that time the Bolt will no longer be in production. What is the cheapest EV that will be available in 2024? I guess I could get a used Bolt, but then I wouldn't be elegible for the $5,000 Colorado credit.
Speaking of which, the Colorado EV credit will be $7,500 in 2024 and isn't tax liability dependent as far as I understand.

I see the credit also applies to plug-in hybrids.

They said the compressor ended up costing a lot more because they needed an EV certified mechanic, a special, more costly refrigerant, and who knows what all else. It seems like they got nickeled and dimed to death.
I would hope I could just grab a ~$300 compressor, bolt it on, and then go down to the local mechanic and ask for a $150 refrigerant flush. I suppose if there's a YouTube video of someone doing it, it can be done.
