Agreed. My first impression is the TC isn't any good on the Bolt, I was surprised of this on my first test drive. I've driven an i3 for 2 years, near the end of lease which is why I'm considering a Bolt, and I've never run into this issue with that car, which is RWD for comparison. IMHO, TC or...

I was finally able to test drive a Bolt recently, slowly being delivered to Michigan but typically only in a quantity of 1. One thing I was unimpressed with was the fact that the front wheels would spin....and spin when I tried to test out the acceleration. I was waiting for the tires to grab...

Does anyone know if the Bolt can be coded (has anyone?) to change the Hilltop mode to only charge to 80%, or if there's another way to do this? This is the optimal charge level for battery longevity and has been recommended by battery experts. EV batteries should be charged only to about 80%...

Back to this user's question. A recent article by Tesla battery expert, Jeff Dahn, recommends charging the battery in an EV only to about 70% normally and only to 100% when it's needed for a long trip. Given that, and the same information I've read from other battery experts, I'm wondering if...

I think this is mostly a matter of personal preference. I personally like very aggressive regen, which is very efficient and easy to drive, and even coast, once you get used to it. I've been driving an i3 for 2 years, which has very aggressive regen, and I love it now that I'm used to it...

One of the things I appreciate about Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) is their willingness to invest in a CCS or super charging network for their customers to use. I'm still floored that GM has said they won't invest in the CCS fast-charging network to support their vehicles, or the EV...

So what's a guy to do if he wants to test drive one soon but they aren't available yet? Novi is the closest I've heard of any being available but it's still at least a 2 hour drive. I'd really like to test drive one soon because my lease for my current EV is almost up and the dealer is trying...

My i3 is white with the typical black areas, including the common dark CF roof, so I'm sure mine stays cooler than the true black version. Like I stated, I'll be curious to experience the Bolt on a test drive. I drove a LEAF before leasing the i3 and didn't like the heavy torque on a FWD car...

I think what the thread author may have meant is that the rear windows don't roll down, which is a pain and causes negative pressure when riding with both front windows down. The new model has a sunroof option in the U.S. that helps with this though. The suicide doors are a pain with rear...

Thank you! Looking forward to learning more about the Bolt. That's an interesting concept, probably something that CA or Europe would require before the U.S., if it ever were to happen. They would probably charge us more for the vehicle if this was a requirement too for the cost of collecting...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, currently driving a BMW i3 Rex (which I love) but I'm considering a Bolt when my lease ends in October. This is an interesting topic since cutting down on my carbon footprint is important to me. Part of this discussion depends on the EV that is being...
