Just came across this comment on a blog post: From here: http://chevroletbolt.myevblog.com/chevy-bolt-blog/ SO - if you're in Ontario and can't get your hands on a Bolt, maybe you should consider taking a trip to Quebec :)

2017 Chevrolet Bolt: Long-Term Vehicle Test Intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGMd00_6HEg 2017 Chevrolet Bolt: Acceleration and Interior First Impressions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAetR7dcp9U 2017 Chevrolet Bolt: Backseat Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD35yKiE0YM 2017...

Are we talking about the hitch, or the hitch mounted bike rack? The original question asked if the hitch was easy to remove - but I assume the answers talk about the hitch-mounted bike racks being removed! The hitch bolts on underneath the car and isn't conducive to easy install/removal where...

p.s. How does it attach?

Thanks for sharing I've never had issues with rocks etc being thrown into my radiator, but at least the solution looks good!

From InsideEVs: We’ve now heard rumors that only few hundred Ampera-es will be delivered this year, and the balance of current reservations (several thousand) will need to wait into 2018. It’s not clear why Norway (and in general Europe) would need to wait so long, as there is no such...

Get the generic Weathertech and cut them to fit: Details here: http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/Chevy_Bolt_Floor_Mats

Both of those racks require "minor trimming of rear fascia" On a lease car, not sure how much of a concern that is. It would likely be on the bottom part (the curved part at the bottom headed towards the front of the car) so that it will clear the down brackets for the receiver. On a lease...

Check EV Wiki for different options: http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/Chevy_Bolt_Trailer_Hitch The receiver listed on Chevrolet.com as an accessory is only rated for accessories, not for towing. The one on the Wiki website looks different (sticks down further) and is rated for a 2000 lb...

I thought maybe it was anti-magnetic paint to help reflect enemy radar? :D

At least a month ahead of the scheduled June date for Norway, Opel CEO says the Ampera-e is coming in May: Apparently the launch date has been moving up due to 'overwhelming demand' but of course the nay-sayers think it's because of lack of Bolt EV demand in the USA :p After Norway comes...

I would be very interested to know what sort of hole is in the tire? Is it simply a nail hole (that the self sealing goop is supposed to prevent) or was it something larger, or a sidewall tear/puncture? If it's a simple nail hole, then I need to get a tire sealing kit since the self sealing...

The owner's manual says this: "The USB storage device can only be recognized when it is formatted in FAT16/32, NTFS, HFS+. exFAT and other file systems cannot be recognized." And this: "Only the following file extensions are supported: *.jpg, *.bmp, *.png, *.gif. Animated GIF is not supported...

Would these be the equivalent ones from Amazon (in Black)? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003JHBM1M/

Nice that 8ft lumber fits! Looks to me like the guy hoping to get a 10ft Kayak into a Bolt will be screwed...
