2018 Chevrolet Bolt
As the first two so-called affordable long-range electric vehicles, it’s logical to think that the Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Model 3 are battling for the same customers. But there are key distinctions that belie the notion of the two cars being in a sales race. For starters—as Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/brookecrothers/2018/02/25/chevy-bolt-2018-vs-tesla-model-3-best-small-ev-and-most-popular-ev-cheat-sheet/#69805e7c5578) made clear this week—the Model 3 is a “sporty, somewhat pricey sedan,” while the Bolt is a “more practical crossover-like hatchback.”
Tesla buyers appear ready to spend more money and wait longer for a premium vehicle. In effect, the Model 3 is not available today—unless you are already on the waiting list. Consumers who are shopping for a car today would have to be willing to wait until 2019 for a new EV. That’s when Tesla recently said new orders for the Model 3 will likely be fulfilled.
