Here is the Monroney sticker for my CBEV: http://www.roperld.com/science/ChevyBoltEVMonroneySticker.jpg

0-30-mph time is important for city-town driving. I have read that the CBEV 0-30-mph time is 2.9 seconds. I assume that is for D mode. What is the 0-30-mph time for: *L mode? *D/Sport mode? *L/Sport mode?

http://insideevs.com/next-gen-nissan-leaf-get-new-e-pedal-technology/ It says e-pedal is activated by a switch. I would like that better than the CBEV shift from D to L, because it would allow 1-pedal driving all the time without having to actuate it every time you drive the car. Also, it...

Today the air conditioner in my CBEV quit putting out cold air while I was driving. After I got home and the car sat for about 30 minutes I started the car and turned the air conditioner on and turned the temperature down to LO and then back up; then cold air started coming out.

Here are two options for using the portable EVSE that came with the CBEV for 240-volts: http://www.roperld.com/science/ChevroletEVSEUpgrade240Volts.pdf

Is the map you made online so others can see it?

When I ask Android Auto to "Show me nearest charging stations" it shows some charging stations and then more gasoline stations!

I leased a 2012 LEAF SL for 3 years and a 2015 LEAF SV for 2 years. Some guy ran a red light in front of my 2012 LEAF, which almost ripped the front off of it and set the airbag off into my face; it cost his insurance company $13,000 to repair it. The 2012 LEAF had 23,000 miles on it when I...

The temperature is not shown when Android Auto is on the screen. It would be nice if it showed the temperature on the 8" screen behind the steering wheel, as the LEAF does.

To get my fabric dog crate in the trunk without laying the seat backs forward I had to remove the false floor.

There is a JDapter stub for charging BEVs/PHEVs with the standard J1772 charging port to charge using the Tesla Wall Connector version 1: http://www.roperld.com/science/JDapterStubInfo.pdf. It does not work with Tesla Wall Connector Version 2. The 120-volts CBEV charging cord can be converted...

Yes, I did plug into another EVSE and it worked. Rarely the Schneider works, but most of the time not.
