Batteries have become much cheaper, making energy storage far more affordable.

    I can’t be picky about make/model at all. Here’s the options as of posting for my entire province:

    These seem too small of a battery and worn so range anxiety is what I’m worried about. Perhaps foolishly you tell me lol.

    I’m much less willing to deal with scum car lot dealers if I can help it, but these guys who are a 4 hour drive one way away from me are another option:

    They do have Bolts right now but not affordable/too new for me. I’ll keep an eye out.

    Keep in mind battery degradation and -30% range in winter here.

    Thx for helping tho

      Almost all Bolts should have newish batteries or a stupid long warranty on the battery.

      Degradation is not really a thing on thermally managed batteries, IE only as issue on the Nissan Leaf and the eGolf to lesser extend.

      Lots of Bolts in Quebec if you are willing to have one shipped. ($1000-2000).

      I really regret not getting one a year or two ago when their value was sort of tanked.

        I’ve never considered shipping a car or how to get that done. I’ll look into it but if you have any advice about that please do share.

        I just have to factor in shipping, OOP inspection, and getting a proper charger installed.

        Yeahhh I chose home reno instead lol. Still maybe for the best idk CoL skyrockets again.
