Sorry if this was already covered somewhere, but I did not find anything recent.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a hardwired Level 2 charger for my garage?
I'm not eligible for any rebates, so that is not a consideration.
Thanks!
They BOLTiply! 🤦♂️
Thank you very much, I'll be here all night 🙃
Wifey convinced her dad to get a Bolt because he currently commutes 60 miles a day in an SUV that gets about 15 mpg and also would appreciate one pedal driving due to ... the muscles in his leg being surgically removed due to health issues.
Found this 2017 Premier with 55k (new battery at 40-something) for $11k. Cosmetically slightly imperfect (roof is scratched up due to carrying stuff on the rack, I spent a couple hours with a polisher yesterday getting it as good as it's going to get) and the driver's seat had a tear in the leather which we patched with some goop from Amazon. Already installed a 14-50 at their house several years ago to charge our own cars when we visited.
Hey y’all, looking at a 2018 Bolt tomorrow. It has 69,000 miles on it. The battery was recalled last year and switched out. They’re asking 9,900 dollars.
I’ve never purchased from a small dealership before, what questions should I be asking?
At my apartment there is free charging but I’ve never seen a time limit, this is my first EV and I charged it over night and found this on my car this morning at 7am. Am I in the wrong for parking overnight ? Pretty sure this was this Tesla that unplugged me the other day while I was charging.
Does the manual or GM provide any info on where it's safe to mount something on the dashboard? It would be attached with a strong adhesive (VHB tape). Ideal location is on top of the dash, centered directly above the screen and vents.
The "something" is a Sony Discman because I like my CDs but I don't want to say that because of the unhelpful comments I will get from redditors that I should just rip them, etc, or just stream.
The real "something" is my Sony Walkman because I like my cassettes more.
Thanks.
Hello everyone, just trying to gather peoples opinions on a 23 Chevy Bolt EUV I am seeing in my area. Listed for $14,600 with around 52k miles. I believe its due to 2 reported accidents. Called dealer and they let me know it was a sideswipe with minor cosmetic damage and then a left front minor damage as well. I feel like most cars in this price range have 100k miles. What are your guys thoughts? Also I have a tesla wall connector will an adapter let me charge at level 2? Thanks for your help!
Has anyone has this issue where Rivian chargers start below 45kw? Electricity america always goes 50kw+ when my battery levels are under 25%. Cold weather not an issue atm
I'm looking for a reliable no-frills EV, and I think the Bolt EV is it.
I'm inclined to get a 2023, but I have some questions.
The choice of 2023 is because, as I understand it, there are no battery issues with that year.
Earlier there were recalls, and I think I read that even after the recall, they did not recommend keeping the car in a garage after charging because of fire risk. Is that true? Was that for cars with replaced batteries, or cars that just had updated software or both?
If I am looking at an older car, how can I tell if it got new batteries?
Other than more comfortable seats, and batteries, is there any other advantage to the 2023?
In general, is there a reliable indicator of battery health?
Thanks!
Super excited to join the EV family and get started with Chevy Bolt ( First time Driving an EV).
My Bolt infotainment display doesn’t show options for recording surround vision! How does it look like? Can anyone tell if that will be enabled slowly in future OTA updates?
I’d like to cover the bow ties of my wife’s car for her.
2017 Chevy bolt Creaking Noise Going Over uneven road while turning or back up slowly.
The noise is getting louder. Hope to get some help to find out the cause and how to fix it.
thank you so much!
My 12v died overnight. I charged it for about 4 hours with my battery charger and the car came back to life. Think this is related to that? Can I pull codes with my code reader like a traditional car?
What did you name yours and what color is it?
Hey all, I’m looking at a 2018 with 85k miles, battery recall done in ‘21. It’s sitting with 4 others in a truck dealership. Clean CARFAX, 1 owner leased. Dealer is asking for $12k, in Southern California. To me that seems a touch high and I wanted to get some advice.
Cons:
Tire rot. I’d literally need to drive down the road to the nearest tire shop.
It’s clear these cars have been sitting a while, from the dust and accumulation of dirt under the tires, cobwebs.
Pros:
Single owner
All recall work performed
Battery still under warranty
Decent price for this part of the world
Has DCFC
Currently renting a Bolt and driving Uber, I’m happy with it and willing to get my own to move my operating expenses lower.
Would you buy this car? Any caveats? How far down would you try and negotiate?
At the iona that's supposedly 400kw.
Led turn signal license plate housings fit perfectly in the slots of the lower grille on 2017-2021 Chevy bolt. Added 2 to each side and wired to spare fuse so they come on anytime the car is on. Not really bright enough to function as fog lights but look good and are the same color temp as drls. Reminds me of the bumper leds on new Kias.
I've seen others post about swapping 16" wheels on for long-term savings on energy and new tire costs. Pricing it out at my local shop came out to a $300 difference; $850 for just 17" tires vs $1150 for 16" OEM wheels and Continental TrueContact Tour 205/55R16 tires. Estimated energy savings with the smaller wheels are pretty modest (2%-5% more range or ~5-12 miles. Running the math shows the upfront cost would be offset within ~2.5 yrs and we do plan on keeping the vehicle for as long as it continues to be reliable and safe.
Looking for input for people who've done this or looked into it deeper. Did you or would you recommend eating the upfront cost for a tiny bit more range and cheaper tires in the future or just replace the worn tires on the stock 17" wheels?
Had the need to drive 200 miles in our 2023 EUV which are through most of the battery so I figured I'd post a capacity/degradation update. 55.9 kwh used, two bars remaining, even assuming we're at the very bottom of the second bar, so 5%, that's a remaining capacity of 58.8 kwh. If it's 10%, that's closer to 62. Torque estimated capacity was 55 kwh which is, obviously, wrong. I always suspected it was on the low side.
tl;dr battery degradation is a non-issue even approaching 200k miles.
Hey guys! Have you taken your Bolt to the drive in? I was wondering since it’s so quiet, can I leave the car on and running why lights off or is that a no for drive ins? TIA
