Or maybe I'll get a Leaf, which is in a similar price range used.

If you will EVER need to fast charge then the leaf is going to be more annoying because it has CHADeMO and not CCS

Get the bolt unless you're certain that'll never be a problem even once, it's seriously not worth it anymore

Source: longtime happy leaf owner who hates CHADeMO as it cannot be easily converted to CCS like NACS can

I can't think of a reason I ever would, it's going to charge in my garage 100% of the time, with the only exception being if my company installs charging stations. But they're about the same price used, so maybe I'll just go for the Bolt. I just need to do a bit more research to see if the battery issues happen when doing level 1 charging, since that's what I intend to do in my garage.
