    DCFC Stations Bakersfield to the Sierra Nevada East Side Coming

    I was actually curious if he knew any new information other than that map. The addresses on that map have shifted around over the years and I don’t trust it much. It also lists a ChargePoint station next door to the EV Connect site, which seems fishy. While it would be great to have two...

    DCFC Stations Bakersfield to the Sierra Nevada East Side Coming

    Do you have any idea where the EV Connect station will be located in Mojave?

    DCFC Stations Bakersfield to the Sierra Nevada East Side Coming

    Good summary of the efforts Paul. I would be pleasantly surprised if any of these are operational in 2018. I don't expect it. I expect a few in 2019. I've been waiting since 2015 so I've learned that the plans for build-out are not worth anything. Wake me when they're operational and on...

    Second Replacement Battery In Three Months

    Well, if it's affecting 1% of the batteries, I think it'd be 1000 to 1 odds of being "lucky" twice.

    How Do I Easily Find Charging Locations?

    To my knowledge, none of these have started construction. There is an EVgo charger in Baker under construction, but that is separate from these CA grants.

    Now this is interesting

    Sure, it's not very civil but rapid acceleration and regeneration is a fast way to heat up the battery to accept a faster DCFC rate. Here's a good example shown with a Tesla. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1C-tPkevIA

    Useful charging info for newcomers

    No, all J1772 EVSE's are compatible with the Bolt EV

    kwh remaining

    There is no battery capacity gauge or indication on the Bolt EV like on the LEAF. A full discharge, as described by Michael, is one way to determine this. However, I would expect a dealer to be able to access the battery diagnostics and report battery health or degradation in some way. It...

    YMMV

    I'm guessing you didn't click on the link that describes the 469 mi test.

    YMMV

    https://electrek.co/2017/09/13/chevy-bolt-ev-travels-750-km-466-miles-single-charge/ If I did the math conversion correctly, 7.8 kWh/100km = 8.0 mi/kWh. So 400 mi would be possible around 35 mph.
