2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV Prices and Deals

Aggressive pricing continues

The 2021 Bolt EV remains available in most parts of the country while the 2020 Bolt has finally sold out. This summer, the restyled 2022 Bolt and a new crossover called the Bolt EUV will offer up to a $5,500 price cut and GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving technology.

While the $7,500 federal tax credit on the Bolt has long since expired, in California it still qualifies for a $2,000 Clean Vehicle Rebate and a $1,500 Clean Fuel Reward — in addition to factory incentives. With every available offer, the Bolt is among the best deals on an EV.

Current factory offers are available on a national basis through June 30, 2021 unless otherwise noted.

Lease: From $175 for 36 months

You can lease a 2021 Bolt LT from $214 for 36 months with $214 due at signing in most parts of the country when factoring in a $1,500 discount for current lessees of another GM or non-GM vehicle. In San Francisco, prices are as low as $175 with $175 at signing (10,000 miles per year).

With an effective cost of as little as $180/month, this is one of the cheapest leases on any car and is available through June 1. Sadly, an ultra-cheap Costco Bolt lease ended April 30 and wasn't renewed.

Rebates: Up to $12,000 off MSRP

Chevy now offers a $9,000 rebate on all 2021 Bolt EVs. However, models with the DC Fast Charge Package actually qualify for an extra $3,000 in bonus cash. All told, that's $12,000 in savings up for grabs.

In contrast, the 2022 Bolt won't offer rebates when it goes on sale, most likely because the revamped electric car will already boast a much lower starting price on paper.

Finance: No advertised APR deals

Unfortunately, last month's killer APR deal has ended. Previously, all 2021 Bolt EVs offered 0% APR for 72 months plus $7,000 in GM Down Payment Assistance. You may be able to score a deal through your local dealer, but expect financing to be more expensive than in the past.
