The all-electric Chevrolet Bolt will cost $42,795 plus a $1,600 destination freight charge in Canada, General Motors announced Tuesday.

However, after all applicable rebates in Ontario, that price is $31,434 plus freight on the base model. The Bolt will be the most affordable long-range electric vehicle in Canada and a test of whether its powertrain technology is ready to go mainstream.

GM said last week the range for the 2017 Bolt EV will be 383 kilometres, as rated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. That is 33 kilometres more than Elon Musk is promising for Tesla’s Model 3.
