October’s 5 Biggest EV Deals: Up to $37,500 Off an Audi RS e-tron GT

The biggest EV incentive of October belongs to the Audi RS e-tron GT. By combining a $20,000 customer credit with an unadvertised $17,500 marketing credit, buyers can potentially save up to $37,500 on the 2026 model — which starts at a hefty $171,895 including destination. With the discounts, it costs around $135,000, and at that price you’ll struggle to match its 2.4-second 0–60 and luxury. The offer runs until November 2, 2026.

The practical end of the market has its own standout: the 2027 Chevy Bolt. October offers include 0.9% APR for 36 months or 2.9% for up to 60 months — with no monthly payments for 92 days (GM Financial; excludes Pennsylvania residents) — on the $28,995 LT and $32,995 RS trims (plus $1,395 destination). GM Rewards cardmembers can stack up to 50,000 bonus points (~$500 value) through November 30. The Bolt is even a 2027 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year contender.

Autoblog’s advice is worth repeating: EVs now carry some of the industry’s largest rebates, but automakers are also cutting base prices as electrics approach cost parity with gas and hybrid vehicles — so don’t jump at the first big discount. Compare the cash deal against lease and finance alternatives, and run the final number through a deal score before signing.
