Long-Term Savings
Imagine never having to pull up at a gas station again! Based on your current vehicle and regular driving habits, it’s likely that you’re spending more time and money at the gas station than you’d like. An electric vehicle can help save you thousands of dollars in fuel costs. With an EV, you don’t have to worry about gas at all! Electric vehicles are great for your wallet, as they don’t require the engine maintenance that traditional cars do. That means no oil changes or other routine services — so you can save money on upkeep each year!
Tax Incentives
Depending on where you live, you may be able to take advantage of federal and state tax incentives. The U.S. Department of Energy is committed to encouraging the growth of the electric vehicle market by offering incentives for those who purchase a qualifying vehicle. Right now, the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV may be eligible for a Clean Vehicle Federal Tax Credit of up to $7,500.2 Find out what you could potentially qualify for by visiting the Alternative Fuels Data Center website and selecting your state.
Warranty
Electric vehicles come with great warranties. Both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV offer an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty for battery and electric components. Enjoy more peace of mind on the road knowing Chevrolet has you covered!3
