    How much will my battery degrade after two years of charging to 100% almost every night?

    I would agree, there are definite variances. To me the simplest way to measure battery capacity/degradation is with an OBD II reader. I use the LELink OBD-II Plugin with the OBD Fusion app and log measurements here and there. You can see my capacity varied +/- about 1%-2% over the last 4-5...

    Chevy free Basic APP through Onstar no longer free.

    I bought my Bolt last year on 3/29/2017, and checking today via the https://my.chevrolet.com/onstar/myservices website, it says: "Active - No additional charge - Basic Plan - Active through: March 28, 2022" So this has changed? A quick web search revealed that te 5 year plan is still free, and...

    Waze now available on CarPlay

    I am not saying it is right or not, just sharing what I have discovered via web search and via actual usage to remove speculation. Since you mentioned it, I searched for how Google maps toggles between day and night mode, It appears Google Maps (like Waze) also uses the smartphone's clock to...

    Waze now available on CarPlay

    Actually...after looking around a bit, I think I am wrong, it appears Waze may use time and location to determine whether it is Day or Night, not the phone's light sensor. I could not find much help searching the web. Mine has always been pretty accurate about swtiching between light and dark...

    Waze now available on CarPlay

    Go to Settings -> Display and map and change Mode to "Auto" - that will enable Waze to toggle between Day and Night mode based on the color of the air... :-) The feature Waze has that no other has? User input to current traffic conditions. I have heard Waze called "the modern day CB radio"...

    SOC Guage on vehicle?

    Not waiting for Chevy, I love using the LELink OBD-II Tool and the ODB FUsion app to display real-time vehicle stats. The link to the chevybolt.org forum shared above by like2bike is invaluable for understanding and utilizing the dozens of PIDs available for the Bolt. Here is a screenshot of...

    Remote Link -- Useless with OnStar Basic Plan?

    Update: 5/14/18: the "My Charging & Efficiency Status" on the https://my.chevrolet.com/myvehicle website is now working. I wonder if this is related to my dealer visit last week to get the recall/software update(s)?

    Remote Link -- Useless with OnStar Basic Plan?

    I have had my Bolt for 14 months now. Via the apps, both OnStar RemoteLink and myChevrolet , I can get charging status, issue Remote Commands, etc... However, via https://my.chevrolet.com/home, the "My Charging & Efficiency Status" no longer works, even though it used to. So now, I just use the...

    Is there any way to have the fan on and heating and cooling off?

    If the little grey got is green, the Heat or A/C are on. If the little grey dot is not green, the Heat or A/C are off. Then depending on the Temp setting, the car is either actively heating or cooling. The Heat or A/C function could be off, and cool or hot air could still be exiting the vents as...

    How to properly close Bolt?

    As others said, yes, remote and button on door handle activates alarm. Separate from this, I love Programmed Delayed Locking - I rarely use the remote nor the button on the door handle to lock the doors...as they automatically lock (and activate the alarm) 5 seconds after the last door is...

    Update Bolt Firmware. Not recommended.

    Following the details from electrek, I got the same successful outcome also. Straight forward, no issues.

    Check out this four page thread...from what I gather, your temps in the high 30's are not within the conditioning target range. http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5907

    I noticed the same thing - that status has not been there for a few weeks or so. While I now us the app, I did like the convenience of having it on the website.

    Parking Brake/E-Brake turned on momentarily when ambulance passed

    My e-brake has automatically engaged a few times while stopped in L mode, mostly when the car creeped forward a bit. A tap on the accelerator and it disengages quickly.

    FUSE FOR CRUISE CONTROL - LOCATION

    Could it be fuse F50, Steering Wheel Controls, page 268-269 in owner's manual? My guess is that there is no specific fuse just for cruise control.

    Battery Depletion before Recharging

    I think this is a great topic. With a normal gas powered car, the big concern for someone like me who is a buyer with a long commute is how long the engine and transmission will last. You try to keep up on the maintenance schedule: tune-ups, oil and filter changes, the cooling system, and all...
