    MarkHawk got a reaction from dalekphalm in Dear Linus, The Chevy VOLT is being discontinued.   
    It's a weird line up I know. It's mainly because my life is changing pretty drastically and my current car is really starting to show it's age. 
     
    We've wanted to go full EV for a while but kept trying to hold out for the Tesla Y. We're big Tesla X fans but I can't justify paying that much for a car. It's nice but just not comfortable driving that much $ of a car around. I'm just not sure we can hold off for the Tesla Y. My 2008 Toyota Matrix XR at 167k is starting to struggle even with dailey commuting. The Volt has been the best bang for the buck, has the range that still might need, and a good "wait to see how the market goes" car. 
     
    I'd have to sacrifice some things I'm used to doing with a crossover but my life change may require that anyway. (Moving to a new city, need to focus on a career for a bit more than snowboarding and ferrying people to hikes) 
    I can get a fairly nice price on a 2017 used model. However if a Kona showed up sooner rather then later, has the 250 range, snag a cool color, and I could get the tax credit then we could make that work for us. But this also all depends on if when my life changes, if we bought a house or have to temporarily rent an apartment. 
     
    We are just under the gun in a few ways but appreciate the help and concern.

    Pretty different vehicles (One is a Crossover SUV, the other is a 4-door Sedan) - the Kona is nicer than the Bolt (Chevy's EV, which is much closer to the Kona), though I imagine the Volt might be on par (or better) with the Kona in terms of quality and interior.
     
    Before you decide to buy, I would first decide whether you want a PHEV (Hybrid) or PEV (straight Electric, often noted as "EV"). They're very different, with a lot of different considerations.
     
    Once you decide on Hybrid or EV, then look at the different options in each category.
