    Bolt Efficiency, How Accurate?

    Best way for me, since I only charge at home, is to look at the juicebox kWh that was put in. That would include the loss while charging.

    Bolt EV OTA Update Information

    What I am curious about is the version number. Where do you get that? I have 14.5 but that is for the Infotainment and they updated that months ago at the dealership. But, this update is different correct?

    Huge News! Bolt will be getting an OTA software update!

    That's a bummer that they are removing .mp4 playback. They keep trying to block CarStream for android that plays files and youtube, but there's a workaround.

    "Full" battery levels dropping daily

    I built a pigtail that I have ziptied together so it's not used for anything else with the OEM EVSE in the car for stops at a family members "Dryer" outlet. Amazon: Coleman Cable Generator Cord Adapter From L5-20P To 5-15R (9 Inch, 12/3 gauge) Cut the L5-20P end off and added, Leviton 9332-P...

    Outside Temperature on Dash Display

    I just wish Android Auto could simply mirror the phone. https://www.amazon.com/TOOGOO-Ultra-thin-Digital-Dashboard-Calendar/dp/B073VKDZ6J/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512154800&sr=8-2&keywords=digital+clock+adhesive

    Lockable 110v Charging in Public

    110 volt level 1 trickle charger? That's pretty bad. I hope Chargepoint doesn't sell many of these. Seems useless unless maybe at an airport whereas you're leaving the car for days.

    Has anyone had this problem? Key Fob, Bolt won't start.

    Yes, mine didn't seem to want to recognize the key inside the vehicle. I shrugged it off dropped the key in the bottom of the center console where the reader is and it came up. Worked fine the next time and forever since.

    That tray doesn't fit very will fall through on mine.

    Charging on battery storage with solar charging

    Start googling around with grounding/neutral bonding on EVSE and charging on generator. This subject has come up in the My Nissan Leaf .com side of this website with mixed results. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=5792&start=40 See if that gets you going the right direction.

    EV Trip Planning, Hints and Resources

    Really wish that EVtriplanner or something similar would have more information for the Chevy Bolt by now. I need to find the value for the parameters on EVTripplanner to make a custom car. Wish Chevy had built something into the touchscreen that would let you add way points, chargers, and...

    Charging rate

    No, simply driving around and getting regen can recharge the batteries more and faster. The only discussion is whether to charge the battery to 100% or 88% (Hilltop Mode). With that most people believe there is a buffer on the top and bottom end to prevent battery damage.

    Conditions needing Battery Conditioning

    Maybe I should check tomorrow morning. It's been sitting out in 105f heat today.

    Anyone tried Waze on Android Auto

    Looking forward to it. I've been in the beta program for years but can't get the waze version. ugh.
