Is that official? I thought that it was pending legislation (albeit legislation likely to pass).
Also, the Bolt's MSRP was cut with the introduction of this new model - it now starts at just under $32,000 (down over $5K). If Tesla gets the credit, GM should too, which would put this at $25K to start.
I do think there's some validity to your point about value. However, given the hatchback form factor, the FWD drivetrain which in some regions will get more love than RWD, and the continued uncertainty about Tesla build quality, I think there's a place in the market for the Bolt EV (and others like it). We'll see if the price cut moves the needle at all in the sales race. GM has competition from Nissan and Hyundai/Kia to contend with too since they offer similar form factors.
