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....

Thank you. Is that 10 miles a percentage of the GOM reading or is it a fixed number irrespective of State of Charge?

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...

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...

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.

Dunno what all the fuss is about, because my own afternoon TOU (PG&E E-6) summer cost would be around 46¢/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 ...

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.

1) How about an option to simply display a percentage State of Charge on the dashboard instead of the nebulous 'distance'?
2) How about a nice continuous power consumption line graph?

With a car like the Bolt's huge battery capacity, charging speed simply doesn't matter unless you drive significant distances on a daily basis. For example, with the national average being under 35 miles/day, 120vac at 8A is sufficient for an overnight recharge to put back about 10kWh and meet that ...

Just returned from a 600-mile round trip from the SF Bay Area to Lake Tahoe in a non-Bolt (62-mile EPA range Mitsubishi i-MiEV with CHAdeMO). Just want to report that all but two of the 20 stations I used were EVgo dual-port (CCS and CHAdeMO) and they were all available and functioned perfectly! Lik...
