    Cargo Area Light - 2020 Bolt

    Hi Runabout! It has also been my experience that the interior lights will automatically turn off after 10 or so minutes IF the "ignition"/car is off. Some workarounds: -EASY- I believe you can leave the car on with the rear hatch open without "the dinger" fussing at you, as it would with an...

    News about Bolt Battery Fires

    I second this. It would probably go a long way with owners like me, who at the moment aren't likely to purchase their next EV from GM. Goodwill actions speak louder than words.

    Phantom Power Usage?

    I'll just go ahead and say that if it's unplugged, it would be cause for concern to me. Being put of bumper to bumper warranty, unless it's something obvious from the dealer's perspective, they're likely to charge you to investigate. This is the first I've heard of this.

    Phantom Power Usage?

    Is the car plugged in or unplugged when this happens?

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    My lifetime efficiency is 4.7 miles per kwh, but the tripometer itself reset to zero after 100,000km (62,137 miles I think), but it restrains the efficiency.

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    Need to update it, I just past 65k yesterday. I did 4k miles in 5 days or 8k miles on it in 3 weeks when I did the cannonball run and subsequent zig zagging across the country on the way back. I've driven back and forth to Philadelphia 6 times I believe (probably 10k miles there). I'd still...

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    A better question, why is my range indicator not accurate? It's spot on with my Spark EV, and other people with Bolts don't seem to have an issue. If I had to guess, I'd say my Bolt has a "failing" battery cell as opposed to a "failed" cell, which you read about people having their full charge...

    Highest Mileage Bolt EV?

    200,000 miles or kilometers?

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    It nearly happened again the other day. I was traveling, stopped for an hour, had 31 miles of range left. Picked out a charging station 12 miles away. Took back roads instead of the hwy which cut the distance, and was more efficient than I had been driving prior to the stop, and looked like I...

    Highest Mileage Bolt EV?

    I know there are plenty of Bolts with over 100k miles, but I'm curious how much further beyond that someone has gone. I know Eric Way (News Coulomb YouTube Channel) has exceeded 120k, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn of significantly higher mileage Bolts, as we approach 4 years since its...

    Electrify America EV Charging Payment SNAFU

    I don't know what you mean, I love the EA credit card system... https://youtu.be/sxiB3MKhrUM Seriously, don't watch and waste 30 min of your life (or 15 min @ 2x for that matter). Use the app if you value your time and sanity.

    Modifying a Bolt's clearance.

    Going off the top of my head, I believe the manual says not to exceed 100 lbs. Haven't seen this, but perhaps someone could fab a hitch mounted one that folds down? I keep my spare (205 50 17) in the trunk floor. Not certain, but I think the dc to dc converter is probably rated in the...
