Yeah, since the car is under the normal warranty, it can be serviced at any Chevy dealer. I have read a few reports that some dealers don't sell or service Bolts, but those are the exception.

Sounds like Eric may have contacted GM about this. You can email him and ask what he found out. Check the "about" section of his YouTube channel for his contact info. Let us know what you find out.
It's a known issue. The high power EVSE's (aka "chargers") are heavy due to insulation and built in cooling to handle all the power and heat generated by that power. Since they are heavy they don't lock well when connecting to your car. EA is aware of this and, I think, is redesigning the ...
Thanks. Good read. Do you have a link for what you would recommend to buy from Amazon for the lighter socket 12vdc monitor? I want to buy one. :D I saw this one, maybe in this thread or another similar thread. Anyway, I bought it. Seems to work ok but I think you need to keep tabs on it to know whe...
There's a section in the owner's manual that tells you how to do it. Also several posts on various forums about this. IIRC, you can leave the A/C on for about 20 minutes. But...if someone walks by, how do they know? Maybe they would call the police or break your window to "save" your dog.

So how fast did you drive in the slow lane? Any comments on what your mi/kWh were ?
Can anyone explain what it is about an EV that makes a traditional SLI (starting, lighting, ignition) lead acid battery unsuitable? These types are built for power (ICE starting) and not so much for energy, so reserve capacity and ability to sustain 'hotel loads' (quiescent current drains) is limit...
