Re: Front seat bolts AARGH!!!!
I used to routinely remove the passenger seat for additional storage, especially when driving solo on long trips. Have not done this on the Bolt. Yes, for about the last 20 years it seems those bolts are seriously torqued in and perhaps Loctited as well, and I can't help wondering if those are also ...

Re: Chemical rust converters
Hope you're not talking about a Bolt. If so, where, exactly, are the rust spots?Jadlian wrote:...I have some spots of rust that are in a "helluva job to cut out and weld" spot and I obviously need to stop it, so, what is the way forward, please?

Re: Time for a level 2 charger. Suggestions?
My preference would be to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet and plug the EVSE into it, so you can also take that EVSE with you on road trips. I'm partial to EVSEs in which you can easily adjust the current, because there are times when you need to 'dial-down' the car's current draw. Remember, steady-state...

Re: EVgo DC FC pricing changes coming Feb 12, 2019
SparkE, thank you for those charging station recommendations. Yes, by "Hillsdale" I did mean the Hillsdale Avenue offramp off 101. At that Park Place garage I usually take just enough time to go to the bathroom and grab an ice cream cone and then be off ~ 10 minutes and enough to get home....

Re: YAMMV - Close call
Thank you. Is that 10 miles a percentage of the GOM reading or is it a fixed number irrespective of State of Charge?BoltEV wrote:With cold weather finally arrived in Los Angeles, I've noticed that when I put my heat on, the GOM immediately drops 10 miles. If I shut it off, the 10 miles returns to the range...

Re: EVgo DC FC pricing changes coming Feb 12, 2019
Thankfully, EVgo doesn't play the fee game that EA is wont to do, and I appreciate that. Well, they certainly used to do so , when they were pretty much the only game in town, and it was a doozy : $5 connection fee !! SparkE, you're absolutely right, but that was while EVgo was under nrg Energy own...

Re: EVgo DC FC pricing changes coming Feb 12, 2019
BarfOMatic, no need for such acrimony. If I need a five-minute DCFC to get home, then the $1 connection fee can represent an unreasonable portion of my bill. Even though I understand the rationale, I believe it should be buried by the EVSE operator with all the other costs of running a charging stat...

Re: YAMMV - Close call
BoltEV and gpsman, excellent information from both of you! Sorry to be asking a dumb question as I haven't run across this, but has anyone sussed out the algorithm(s) used for the various Range Remaining computations displayed, and how much each is affected by the different HVAC settings? TIA.

Re: EVgo DC FC pricing changes coming Feb 12, 2019
Dunno what all the fuss is about, because my own afternoon TOU (PG&E E-6) summer cost would be around 46ยข/kWh (if I were to pay for it, but don't because of my solar PV). Didn't Tesla's pricing also go up recently? Because of the tremendous variation in charging rates I believe at this point in ...

Re: Vacation Rental in Mariposa, CA Near Yosemite with electric car charging station
Don't see you on PlugShare. During my many meandering cross-country Tesla drives this was my primary source for selecting where to stay for the night. Wish you all the best.
