I thought they all came with CVT, what year?

Correct! I was going by in "top gear" moving shifter to left (manual mode) it read "8".
CVT.
2023...2024 is discontinued. I found a dealer with brand new one just delivered.

That seems crazy since "mpge" depends on what one pays for electricity and charging rate.

The Bolt and Outlander are in completely different categories too?

A Ford Fiesta has better mileage than an F150.

Also, charge time 7.5 hours on 240?! Does that seem slow?

Kilowatts in electricity...
or kilowatts in gasoline... or kilowatts in diesel...
And then apply efficiency ratios.
go figure

The RAV4 PHEV has been a hit for Toyota

I also own the GM Bolt (2021) and 25,000 miles later has been a great car. Nice thing is you can buy one and if you have a tax obligation end up paying about $16K for the lower trim model (1LT).
It's a great car for local driving. Would not want to drive cross country with it as the range (~200 miles) isn't great.

It is a good second car at that price. Most people do not need more than 100 miles a day of range. Plenty of safety factor if you get 200 miles.
