California citizens can buy this electric car for $8,000

Although they are not abundant in the American state, a combination of incentives allows California citizens to purchase a new electric Chevrolet Bolt for the modest sum of 8 thousand dollars. The “arranjinho” is worthy of Portuguese.

Over time, the electric car catalog will take shape, bringing together alternatives for all tastes and more and more budgets. Although there are buyers for the top of the range models, not everyone wants a dream car, and is just looking for a capable and durable vehicle.

As recalled by InsideEVs, mentioning the reality of the United States, few electric models came close to the Chevy Bolt EV and the EUV, with prices starting at 26,500 and 27,800 dollars, respectively.

Despite having been the standard model for many price-conscious buyers for several years, the Bolt was discontinued last year. Following this decision, there are only a few thousand units available.

Chevrolet Bolt can be purchased for a very low price thanks to incentives

According to EVLife's accounts, Californians who meet specific income, residency and vehicle ownership requirements can take advantage of a combination of state and federal incentives to get a new Chevrolet Bolt EV for just $8,000 or a Chevrolet Bolt EUV for just $9300.

First, Chevrolet vehicles are once again eligible for the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit following the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Then, California's Clean Cars 4 All program says if you have a working internal combustion engine vehicle (2005 or older), you can upgrade to a new battery electric or plug-in hybrid electric and earn up to $9,500 . This, which is the biggest incentive, is dependent on income and residency requirements.

Third and last is the Consumer Assistance Program, which offers vehicle repair assistance of up to $1,500 to buyers who have an older operational vehicle that qualifies for renovation. Again, eligibility for the maximum benefit depends on income levels.

Although they are not in abundance now that they have been discontinued, the three programs combined result in the purchase of an electric Chevrolet Bolt for a real bargain in California.
