Andrew Lambrecht mietete einen Polestar 2 aus dem Jahr 2023, um ihn mit seinem Tesla Model 3 aus dem Jahr 2021 zu vergleichen. Er stellte fest, dass sich der Polestar 2 zwar hochwertig anfühlt, es ihm aber im Vergleich zum Tesla an Effizienz und Technik mangelt.

Used Chevrolet Bolt EVs Are Somehow Even Cheaper Than You Think

Oct 29, 2024 | insideevs.com | Andrew Lambrecht

The Chevrolet Bolt EV is a solid electric car. While it doesn't exude the "wow" factor other EVs do, it has great range, decent power, and a reliable track record (minus the LG chem battery debacle).

This meant one could walk away with a brand new EV for $19,995 plus whatever dealer fees there were. But today, used Bolt EVs are even less expensive.
