I feel your pain on a trip between Palm Springs and Phoenix! You should read my 2600 mile trip up to Oregon and Back with 4 or 5 mini-day trips thrown in, the subject is "Our 2600 mile CA to OR Trip in our 2017 Bolt". Unfortunately, you did a trip in one of only 3 areas that not only have no...

The fast charging option is very much worth it and it my opinion should be standard. We used our Bolt on a 2600 mile trip to Oregon and back, without fast charging, that would not have been possible. It allows you to go anywhere. The ChAdeMO is only for Japanese cars, hoping they will switch...

I have also complained to EVGo about their stupid 30 minute fast charging limit. We go on trips all the time with our Bolt and having to constantly go back and start the charge again is a pain and a waste of time. I know where they are coming from about limiting your charge time so the next...
