Chevrolet Bolt
$29,000-$35,000
Can You Write Off Chevrolet Bolt?
Short answer: Partly: the relaunched Bolt is a low-cost EV for gig drivers; depreciation is capped and the EV credit is gone.
Under 6,000 lbs GVWR it's a passenger car, so first-year depreciation is capped at roughly $20,000 with bonus depreciation for 2026, and only the business-use share counts; the 72.5¢ mileage rate is the simpler option. The federal EV credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
Records to keep: Keep the purchase contract, the door-jamb GVWR sticker photo, and a mileage log showing business vs personal miles.
