In the US, Ford still qualifies for the Federal tax credit which drops it some (unless you are including that in transaction cost). Honestly though, when I compared it to similarly equipped Escapes at the Ford dealer, it wasn't too far off in price.
As I'm sure will come as a shock to no one, now that GM has lost its tax credits the 2022 model Bolt is priced well below the MSRP of the 2021 model. I'm sure that is partially due to manufacturing efficiencies, but not wholly. Tesla, as I recall, also had a price decrease after it lost it's eligibility.
