Now that I am driving Uber full-time again, I notice: 1) Many EVGo’s here in SoCal have been modified to put a 3rd charger cord and plug for Teslas; and 2) all sorts of Electrify Americas have popped up to be convenient for my random Uber long range late night charging needs. The EA $4...

I received this email (personalized to me) on November 19th:

What’s the experience in the rest of the State? This is a game changer! I can now drive up to Kettleman City, get some BBQ and use the bathrooms at Bravo Farms and then go one more mile up the road to charge and eat my dinner with the air and radio on Then complete my drive to NorCal. I went...

Does anybody know if anyone makes a storage module to insert at the front of the space between the driver and front passenger? There is much space here that could be useful.

To those of us waiting for Mary Barra's promised inclusion of a NAV system in the Bolt EV mentioned in her keynote speech at CES in January 2016, GM has finally made her an honest woman again: https://seekingalpha.com/news/3681107-gm-to-launch-updated-vehicle-navigation-system

I just received the following email from EVGo:

Anyone have any experience with this wireless CarPlay adapter: https://carplay2air.com/

Since I drive Uber, getting maximum range from my daily charge is important to me. I would prefer to not search out an L3 charger and spend 30 minutes there to add 70 miles of extra range. 6-8 times per month, I randomly do long-range driving and do this extra step. Now it is winter, but Los...

I just returned my 2017 leased Bolt EV to my original dealer on Tuesday with 44,640 miles and started driving my new 2019 Bolt EV for Uber on Wednesday. After two days of full time Uber driving, I can report this model has MUCH better battery efficiency. While my results are still short term...

I am interested in a more versatile centerpiece in the front center area (holding stuff, garbage, etc). Anyone make one for the Bolt EV?

Seems like a good offer: Buy a new 2019 Bolt EV, return existing leased Bolt EV with no further financial obligation I am researching and considering this offer as an alternative to buying my lease.

Background: I wanted an installed Navigator in my Bolt EV, just like I had in my Chevy Volt, but it is just not offered. Interestingly enough, I read on these forums much criticism of the concept of paying for this option by people who are not interested in the option of an internal Nav. An...

The Bolt EV is now Interstate-5 Northern/Southern California friendly as the ChargePoint @ the Chevron Coalinga station is reported by user comments as open and operational on Plugshare: Located on the western exit of the Highway 198 interchange, the opposite side of the freeway from Harris...

I only found one thread discussing the TeslaTap and no one seemed to own one. It appears to be the successor to the JDapter and is available for purchase online and at the designer's office up in Santa Ynez. I was thinking about getting one as a backup before I drive up Interstate-5 to the new...

At 233 miles from my home, this setup at the Panoche Shell, could, finally, be the DCFC I have been waiting for on I-5 between Los Angeles and Northern California. However if it is only one CSS, and not multiple availability, I just do not see how I can make that drive and risk that it suddenly...

Background: I reviewed this Forum and others to determine how best to charge my Chevy BoltEV after I acquired it two years ago. Many posters to this forum warned to not charge it everyday and to use Hilltop Reserve to keep from charging to 100%. Some would link to a dated technical discussion...

When I complete my drive, I keep getting an OnStar request to update my Entertainment system software. I keep postponing it. I do not want to lose my ability to play MP4 movies on a flashstick. Reportedly, this feature was deleted when upgrades earlier this year were installed; upgrades that...

EVExtend.com is finally taking pre-orders on its product for the Bolt EV ( https://www.evextend.com/Chevrolet-Bolt-Inverter-Kit.php ) This unit allows for fused, easy Anderson Powerpole connection to a 1,000-1,500 watt inverter for days of emergency power. I had one on their units in my Chevy...

When I started my BoltEV this afternoon, OnStar announced that a software update will be made available to me the next time I shut off the engine. When I shut off the engine OnStar did make this offer. I postponed it for two days to study it. I do not want to lose the ability to play mp4...

Next week I am going to drive from Santa Cruz to the Black Oak Casino Resort in Tuolumne, CA. I previously did this trip two years ago in my Chevy Volt with of course no problems. Using Plugshare and Google Maps, I see that it is 184 miles but uphill heading into the edge of the Stanislaus...
