    L-Mode Fine For Highway?

    The Bolt only has one gear, so there is no such thing as a low gear. The "L" is poorly named as it will confuse people who have driven ICE which is everyone. I always drive in "L" in the city and on the highway. With the more aggressive "L" mode regen, I am getting close to 300 miles range.

    Difficulty getting into reverse - first time - every time

    I haven't really noticed a time lag. My bigger problem is being lazy and not fully depressing the button.

    Charge and range estimate

    Thanks for the info. I finally got my first full change today. I charge 110v at work but have a short commute, so I have been adding miles bit by bit. Always in L, mostly city traffic, 70 degree Bay Area summer. Final results: 285 mile range with 336 max and 233 min...

    Best charger for a 90-mile commute

    vrpratt - I frequently drive from Moutain View to Pacific Grove then walk over to Hopkins to watch the seals. It is exactly 90 miles door to door. I look forward to taking my Bolt on the next drive. The better solution is to get eco-minded Stanford to pop for a 220v station placed inside...

    Charge and range estimate

    I have had my Bolt from about six weeks. Until today, I had not bothered to do a full change. It is now indicating 85% charge level with an estimated 252 miles range and still adding more. Is one of those numbers off or am I really getting that much range? BTW, I seem to be getting a bit...

    Success with 2-wire charging?

    Don't mess with overloading older wiring. Your day could end badly. You probably have your main panel in the garage or close to it. For not much money, you could have a local electrition come out and add a dedicated breaker in the panel (assuming there is room) with a three-wire outlet next...

    Remote AC/heat adjustment

    One side question -- are the heated seats and steering wheel included in the preconditioning?

    Remote AC/heat adjustment

    Thank you, Patronus and Airbesar. That's great. 10 minutes of heat or AC before I walk out the door and get in the car will be nice. Half the time I won't be plugged-in, but 10 minutes should not make too much of a drop on the battery. 230+ mile range, 3-mile commute. :)

    Remote AC/heat adjustment

    I am looking to buy a Bolt. I understand that I can remote start a Bolt from my Android phone. Is that correct? I would like to be able to remote start the Bolt and set the AC or heat level a few minutes before leave my home or office so that it is at a good temperature when I get into the...
