I've had my heart set on a Chevy Bolt for years, and this new MSRP dropping below 30k finally puts a new car within my price margins for a car. I already have a 12 year old hatchback that is starting to show its age and I'm committed to moving over to an electric vehicle.

While I'm fine with waiting a few months for ordering a red 2LT at my local dealer with all the bells and whistles, I've been looking more at the 2023 EUV, which is similarly cheap, but slightly bigger.

The reason I can't decide is a few reasons:
1. increased space. Sometimes I want to be able to carry my bike with me, and it looks like it might be easier to have a roof rack on the EUV. Additionally, if I want to be able to buy a larger piece of furniture and carry it home, I'll have the room available. That's always something that's frustrated me about my current hatchback, which also doesn't have a roofrack, or a bike rack, is that it's a pain in the arse to move anything other than groceries or people. I don't need or want a truck, either, that's too far on the other side of the bell curve. I suppose there's other aftermarket options, but I'm not sure which goes with what.
2. Larger car might run better in snowy weather? I assume the increased size and weight and maybe car options may do better in the snow? My current car doesn't have any of these nice bells and whistles, including traction control, so driving in the snow is a PITA, but maybe this newer car will do better.
3. I assume a larger car will have a higher ground clearance, which may help in the north, with potholes, and frost heaved roads and such. I worry about potentially scraping the bottom where the batteries are, which happens a little with my current hatchback being low to the ground.
4. having never bought a car from a dealership, I also don't know what stuff is bullshit. Like the extended warranty and tire and upholstery protection, obviously would pass on that stuff, but what about the LEDs on the charging plug, or the metal strip on the bottom of the plastic on the trim when opening the door, or stuff like that. What's good, and what's cheaper to do aftermarket?

I've been trying to do my own research but I haven't really found some additional details to my questions, like, yes with an EV there are lowered maintenence costs overall, but no one has really talked about what kind of expenses they've run into when needing to repair the car. Like, when an EV gets to be 12 years old like my current car, other than the battery, what other things need to be replaced or fixed? What does that look like? Breaks, wipers, etc, obviously, but what about suspension, or other areas?
