Furthermore, California’s Clean Cars 4 All program adds another layer of savings by offering up to $9,500 for trading in older, high-emission vehicles and upgrading to an EV like the Bolt. In addition, the Consumer Assistance Program provides vehicle retirement assistance of up to $1,500, leaving the savings stack up higher than ever imagined. With all these incentives added together, you will save up to $18,500. Subtracting it from its starting price will get you to $8,000 in total.

New Lineup

While these incentives present an opportunity to acquire a Bolt EV at a fraction of the MSRP, time is of the essence as production of the current Bolt generation winds down. Additionally, General Motors is preparing to reveal a new lineup of EVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado EV, Equinox EV, and Blazer EV in 2024. Following the discontinuation of the Bolt EV in 2023, General Motors also plans to reintroduce the Bolt EV in EUV form on the revamped Ultium model in 2025.
