I just traded in my 2.5 year old 2017 Volt for a new 2018. The idea started out as a joke by my wife but, after checking prices and running the numbers, I noticed that it would only cost me about $2000 after incentives and tax credits to get a new car with the exact same options. The car that I ended up buying also had the Drive Confidence Package, which I really like. In the end, the difference between my trade-in and new car was $10,500, or $3000 after the EV Tax Credit. That includes a $2000 regional incentive. Note: I live in New Hampshire, so sales tax didn't figure in.
We initially looked at Bolts, but finding one with the DC fast charge is difficult and getting a good deal on one is even harder. Bolts without it seem to come cheap, but that wasn't an option for me.
The upgraded Infotainment system has been nice (woo, Pandora!). However, it seems like many parts in the interior were made more cheaply. Still, I think it was a good thing to do. Now I just need to get used to black. The black interior helps with the glare on the front window, but I kinda liked the exterior grey.
