It has to be one of the one's that get more than 200 miles per charge, That's it's plus to hold value. Reading reputable magazines, one may say it's value is going up and another states it's going down. There just isn't enough historical data for them to state in either direction. The only one's I know that have consistently held their values have been the Toyota's.
The current economic climate, the nearer future is going to be the best time to buy, values have to be dropping a ton along with demand. There's way too many important things going on now then vehicles for a majority of the population.
I'd buy a Volt instead of a Bolt.
They're cheap and range is never an issue.
Correct. Also, Volt has one very interesting feature. i twill go EV until battery is depleted. With very decent battery only range. For regular commuter, that, basically, is an EV car, as you charge it at home overnight. Referring to plug in Volt. And, you don't need to worry going long range. It's a win win car.
I be curious even with falling gasoline prices I would be curious whether EVs would be popular again due to people learning how filthy gas pump handles can be. And how one might not be able to get gasoline readily in an extreme situation.

But electricity for recharging your dead car will be available in your "extreme situation"?

I've been through natural disasters where gasoline is impossible to get for weeks. I've been through others where electricity is out for a week or so. Never have I been in one where both are unavailable for an extended period of time, however. It can happen, but less likely.

Depends. In some situations gas is easier to come by and in others electricity is. I guess a plugin hybrid could mean you can do both.
Somebody with power storage, a decent solar panel array and all installed so that it can be used if the grid goes down is pretty independent with an electric car in an "extreme situation". An EV's large battery sort of has double utility because it's like a secondary power storage. Someone who bought into the whole package is probably feeling pretty alright about doing so right now.
