Thank you Gary. I will check Turbotax again soon.

Does anyone know if the 2017 federal $7500 vehicle credit is available for tax filing this season? I am filing with Turbotax and it says form 8936 is not yet available from the IRS. I wait, do an update, and it says the same thing. Then I go online and see some people have filed through H&R...

That much difference? I'll wait until mine are worn and try. I'm ok losing some efficiency to get a smoother ride.

I'll keep it brief. Bottom line for my purchase is that it is the only long range affordable car right now. Let's face it. So what is there to compare to? I suppose a model 3 waiting in the wings. 5 years from now I surely would explore all the great options out there I know are coming. But I...

I have a different calculation. I drive about 15K/yr. I have a heat pump on my house so the utility put on a 1/2 price meter and said to put other loads on it. So I pay 3.5 cents/KW. So at 4.5 miles/KW it costs me .77 cents per mile. Or $116/yr. With $3.00 gas that would be about $1800...

Just thought I would post that the conversion was simple and works fine. I do have an identical one I have listed on Ebay for $225. When I bought the Bolt somehow there was a 2nd one in there. Listed as evse L2 Charger

Not sure anyone else has this minor complaint, but why did GM name this car the Bolt, after having the first plug in called the Volt? Right now I have both in my garage and I can't tell you of the confusion when I talk to my friends and family about my 2 EV's. Just getting through the...

I read one post here where a Bolt owner heats his garage to 60F though the winter. I thought to myself, how crazy to buy a Bolt for the reasons of reducing emissions, then heat an entire garage all night. GM could give the option to heat or not heat the pack. The extra range the next day would...

The Bolt is equipped with a battery climate control system. Yet there seems to be so little information on this, and no vehicle instrumentation for this. Battery temperature has everything to do with it's health, longevity, and range. So it makes sense GM has designed this in, but as an owner I...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, my old hand held opener will do. As you say, the visor is not great to clip it to either. I do like the Bolt a lot, just had to vent that having spent so much money. I am curious what sort of voice commands you do? When I connect the Iphone the Siri is available (on...

I bought a brand new 17 Bolt Premier with all options. I get home and park outside my garage ready to pair the wireless remote to the garage door. Where is the button? Then I check the manual. No garage door opener on such a highly sophisticated vehicle with so many features? So I dug out the...

I just purchased a Bolt. It came with the following charger: CC-C-L2-13-300-B. This is currently setup as a 110V, or a Level 1. I have read on some other Volt forums this can be converted to an L2 by making an adapter from the 110v to the 220V using a nema 5-15R receptacle, then a 220V plug to...
