What this indicates to me is that the sub $30k price does NOT cover manufacturing cost. Or the Bolt’s sub $30k takes away from the base model Chevrolet Equinox with the same pricing.
The Bolt is being made in USA. The Equinox in Mexico.
So now I am wondering if the Equinox sales price is adequate to cover manufacturing cost.
Selling products at below manufacturing cost is not the way to profits.
*Both offer solid specs for a lower price than most EVs, and both are better deals than their predecessors. There are, of course, some differences. The Leaf has the upper hand in range and Apple CarPlay, which could make all the difference to some folks. *
The Bolt, for now, costs a few grand less and has more room for passengers. At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is actually drive both vehicles. The choice will probably come down to personal preference.
