That's a bummer. Was interested to see what a Honda EV with ultium cells would be like. A sub-$30k EV is what a lot of people are looking for, judging from my experience buying a Bolt. Hope they can figure out the unit-economics

Citroen ec3 is 20k although you're not likely to see in the US I suspect.

I somehow lucked into finding a 2023 Bolt EV at MSRP last year, and got a really good trade-in offer on top of that. It’s been such a great car.

The one dealership that didn't have a markup near us sold out immediately and we ended paying a slight markup at another place, but after all the incentives and trade-in it was a steal.

We love our EUV, I don't think I'll go back to an ICE car after seeing how convenient home charging is and one-pedal driving is great.
