    2020 Bolt EV Premier Trip Report 2400 miles Labor Day

    To add: I’d read elsewhere that south to north was generally a little more downhill on the BRP than starting on the north end, so that’s what I did, which worked out great. Plus that Saturday was an utterly gorgeous day without a ton of BRP traffic. Never had crowding on any pullout, including...

    2020 Bolt EV Premier Trip Report 2400 miles Labor Day

    I think the car said 3.8 trip avg but that was probably rounded. But yes that sounds about right. I tried hard to be under the speed limit, which was easier to do late at night and far away from major cities. For the BRP, I charged to 90% at Dandridge TN EVgo (at Wendy’s) and headed right to...

    Charging at Electrify America

    [I drive a 2020 Chevy Bolt] I got burned in Asheville NC Sat 9/5 at the Sams Club on the north side. I checked all the usual apps before arrival into town (including EAs own) and saw nothing about EA being down at the site. Arriving with a very low SOC, the EA chargers were blocked off and...
