The Chevy Bolt is an affordable long-range EV. But maybe price parity isn't enough to move the EV market?
We are approaching the tenth anniversary of the so-called modern electric car. The first sales of the Nissan LEAF, which at the time offered 84 miles on a single charge, were made in December 2009. A decade later, the LEAF goes nearly three times as far for about the same price. But EV sales still represent less than 2 percent of total vehicle sales in the United States.
Analysts have long predicted that EV sales would hit a tipping point as soon as battery-electric cars are offered with the same range and price as internal-combustion vehicles. And yet, EV sales remain in the low single digits despite the availability of five different electric vehicles with at least 225 miles of range at a price (before incentives) of about $36,000.
