VinFast, a Vietnamese EV company, introduced a unique gimmick by offering a $400 cash voucher to customers in case of a breakdown, separate from their warranty program. Meanwhile, Tesla is striving to provide a low-priced EV, with its Model 3 RWD priced at $32,740 after the federal tax credit. Other manufacturers like BMW and Nissan also offer affordable options with the Mini Cooper SE Hardtop and the Nissan Leaf, respectively.
General Motors surprised the EV world by announcing the discontinuation of the Bolt at the end of the year, despite its popularity. GM CEO Mary Barra hinted at the possibility of bringing back the Bolt in the future but did not provide a specific timeline. Capitalizing on this opportunity, Stellantis plans to release the Citroën e-C3 in early 2024, with an expected price of around $27,000 and a range of 186 miles on a single charge.
