Haven't needed it for that, but that's one of the things I keep the MyChevy app on my phone for.... I mostly use it for preconditioning, but it can also lock/unlock the car remotely. And no paid OnStar needed. I have a 2017 and have never paid for OnStar. It's not the Bluetooth Keypass either...

And you need to be careful with the wording. They change it a lot. For a while it was the Basic Package. Then I think they changed it to the "Remote Commands" package, which was free for 5 years, but not necessarily Basic, which didn't include "Remote Commands" or something like that... At...

Yep, that's my point, although the it isn't necessarily useless (and I see you said to "just about everybody" so you aren't saying that...). We'd need to know more about what that information was looking to show... If it was looking at a "How would batteries perform assuming we remove heat/QC...

Mostly agree, except possibly your definition of "tiny" here. ;-) An adapter can be made for $20 or bought for something like $60 or so? The lowest I see in a quick Amazon check is $170.. So, $110.. Not bad, but maybe not tiny.. ;-) That said, while I made an adapter, I run 30A L2 at home...

Not necessarily... We know some Leafs in hot climates had really bad degradation. But that wasn't the case in other areas with cooler climates and places that were L2 heavy without a lot of Chademo. If this data doesn't include those hot climate Leafs (i.e. is a lot of European Leafs, etc..)...

Yeah, it was so simple, even I could do it. ;-) To be fair, the seats didn't bother me (and I have a 120 mile round trip to work daily), but my wife said she noticed it, although it didn't bother her.. But I decided to try to add some padding. I just picked up one of the gardening kneeling...

I haven't printed this or had a chance to try it out yet (I have only needed to QC twice, and both times it just worked for me), but there is a 3D print that might help with this... (not mine...) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3862271

I got my Bolt in October 2017. I have never paid for an OnStar subscription, so I'm just on basic. My precondition still works. Good luck!

I can answer the basic question for me. Yes, the app works. I (especially in winter) frequently use it to precondition the car. It should only need the "Basic" package from OnStar, which I believe is still included with the car for 5 years (was when I got my 17). As for "the app seems to...

I know they can remotely unlock the whole car. But they specifically are talking about remotely "opening the trunk" which is a feature a lot of new cars have, but i don't think the Bolt does. Yes they can remotely unlock the car, but I am not sure they can remotely "pop the trunk." I was...

I wondered if this would work with the Bolt, just because the articles I saw mentioned they would remotely pop the trunk. I don't think that is a feature we have??? We can remotely have our car (including the trunk) unlocked so it can be opened, but I don't think we can remotely pop the trunk...

Remember tho that GM is not their dealerships. GM can require dealerships that sell Volts to have L2 EVSEs. They can require dealerships that sell Bolts to have QCs. But they can't require them to make them easily available to the public. Most of the issues I've seen with charging at...

Bet it includes the gas station info that the it has for non-EV GM cars.. ;-) desiv

I thought I remembered reading that Tony Williams was looking into producing those adapters. That would be awesome. I know in Oregon, we have the great West Coast Electric Highway, which has Chademos about ever 30 miles along some major highways. We have many fewer CCS chargers. I know they are...

My turn. ;-) Had mine since late October.. I don't know if I'd say better, but better for me, definitely!! ;-) Pros: 1. Range -Yep, pretty much the reason I bought it. I had a Leaf before and would have considered the new Leaf (another decent car IMHO), but the range sold me. (I have 120...

Lots of talk about car wash mode, but I'm not sure anyone answered the question. ;-) Obviously, you'd have to take the car to your dealer to know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet your brakes and alignment are OK. I wouldn't be too worried about it (unless it dragged it through the whole car...

I do not have those issues with mine and I did the upgrade.. Hmmm... desiv

Well, I finally got around to adding some padding to my Bolt seats (bottom padding, the back is fine for me). I was in an Ace Hardware and saw a gardening kneeling pad that was square (instead of the rectangles I usually see) and it looked about seat size, so it reminded me of it. I got 2 of...

If you mean Bluetooth disconnects and reconnects, yep. Mine does that. Wasn't sure if it is my my phone or the car.. Didn't notice it in the Leaf, but it might just be the notification wasn't as obvious... desiv

To be fair, a "compliance car" is a specific thing. A car that companies make only to meet CARB requirements, usually by converting one of their existing ICE models. One might have been able to argue that the Bolt was possibly a compliance car the first months after it's release, but no...
