Any EV, be it a Bolt or a Tesla or a plug-in Prius or Leaf does not compete with a 20 year old anything. Whatever one buys, it is a choice based on lots of factors: money, lifestyle, vehicle use, etc.
I'm cheap. We have a 2003 9-5 wagon (wife's DD) and my '96 9000. Both bought used. Lots of miles on each. I'd love a Tesla S, but the cost is beyond ridiculous, even when you factor in the much lower maintenance costs. And with the non-Tesla EVs, the performance simply isn't there. And with the Tesla, the range is inadequate for our needs.
I'm hoping EVs come up with range (500 miles) and fast charging capabilities (< 30 mins from 0 to full), but I think truly practical all-around models, the equivalent of a 9-5, an Acura MDX or even a minivan are at least 5 years, probably more like 10 years away.
