They also qualify if purchased used. I'm looking at Bolts priced at $13-17k after the used EV credit. That's pretty decent, I just need to go test drive a couple and make it happen.
But that only works because I'm replacing a commuter. It would be a non-starter for a family car because the maximum range is our minimum distance between stops at gas stations on road trips. We recently drove >800 miles each way on a road trip to visit family. On gas, that took us 12-13 hours. With an EV, I don't think we could make it in a day, even if recharges took 20-30 min (and that's a pretty big if, because the fast charging network isn't great).
