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

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.
