Hi guys!

Someone hit my 2022 Bolt (their fault 100%). Now, it is at an insurance-approved shop, but they won't be able to look at it for another two weeks.
I will take it also to a specialized EV repair shop. The driver's door won't open (there is a gap at the top), and the front wheel is at a weird angle.
The car has about 7k miles on it.
Do you think this is an easy reparation? Or should I think about totaling it?
 
Sorry man! It would’ve been great to see a picture of the damage. Since the door won’t open and the wheel's at a weird angle, it could be a bigger issue. I'd recommend waiting for the shop to assess it before deciding if it should be totaled.

It is hard to say. Did any airbag deploy?
 
I had an accident with my car, and the repairs took much longer than expected due to part delays. The damage to your Bolt sounds like a lot, especially with the wheel angle and door issues, which might involve structural repairs. It could go either way, but you should have the specialized EV shop assess it they’ll give you a clearer idea if it’s worth repairing.
