For all the advances in electric car technology, sales of plug-in cars still represent only about one percent of the new car market. For years, common wisdom suggested that high purchase prices and low driving range were holding back EV sales. But the Chevy Bolt—with 238 miles of range and a post-incentive price around $30,000—was supposed to change all that when it went on sale last December. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the case.
Despite winning a slew of awards—and wide praise from green car advocates—Bolt sales in 2017 are averaging about 1,000 units per month and inventory is backing up at dealerships. Bolt sales lag behind electric cars like the Nissan LEAF, a car with half its range. The situation has journalists scratching their head about what’s holding back EV sales.
