You won’t want to miss this first ever event at Santa Paula Airport, located in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley of Ventura County, within round-trip Bolt EV driving range from much of Southern California. The Bolt-In will be held in conjunction with Santa Paula Airport’s monthly “First Sunday”...

I uploaded my documents on January 3, but didn't notice the separate submit button, so the application sat for a couple of weeks. I fixed that when they notified me of the "incomplete" application on January 17. They say applications not selected for income verification are processed within 30...

I'm generally pretty happy using my iPhone though CarPlay for nav on the Bolt, but for one issue. The volume of the turn-by-turn nav is so faint I can barely hear it even when the car is not in motion (and completely hopeless when it is). I've already set the voice volume in the maps settings on...

Happy/Merry Bolters! My dealership tells me to expect delivery of my Bolt on Wednesday or Thursday of next week so I am making my list and checking it twice. As an EV noob I am hoping the experienced EV'ers here can fill me in on some of the more practical issues i will soon face with charging...

A few years off, presumably, but interesting that GM chose the Bolt as their autonomous test platform. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/general-motors/2016/12/15/general-motors-bolt/95477922/

http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1107780_far-more-chevy-bolt-evs-to-be-sold-than-needed-for-compliance Another way of looking at the "compliance car" argument. I'm not sure I totally buy their reasoning, since as they say, excess credits can be sold. But it is interesting to know that GM...

https://www.engadget.com/2016/12/09/inside-the-factory-building-gm-s-game-changing-bolt-ev Nice article, with a series of photos of the factory floor. Followed by the usual trolling comments from Tesla fans. Oh well, that's turning into situation normal.

Not sure how much of this is "news" (and the one every three days report is obviously wrong) but it feels a bit like we are being prepared for a token number of deliveries in December. Only 138 units complete as of the end of the November...

I am getting mixed signals on the eligibility of the Bolt for the $2,500 CARB rebate in California. It can be found on this list: https://www.driveclean.ca.gov But not on this one: https://cleanvehiclerebate.org/eng/eligible-vehicles Surely the car is eligible and this will be straightened...

In preparation for my Bolt's arrival next month (I hope) I've begun researching EVSEs for the garage. Unfortunately most of the articles I find online are quite dated and don't address the Bolt's charging needs. Any recommendations by brand or features? Would 30 amps do, or is 40 better for this...

https://www.cars.com/articles/2017-chevrolet-bolt-ev-review-first-drive-1420692448232/ They generally liked the car, but complained about the seats being too thin, and the video camera rear view mirror is tough on wearers of bifocals (good point, I hadn't thought of that). Also of interest is...

Anybody heard anything new about their orders? Mine still shows manufacture during the last week of November. The dealer is unsure about delivery before the end of the year.

Share here the trim line and options you bought, from which dealer, and how much you paid above or below MSRP!

At the very last moment of the end of the legislative session the California Legislature voted to fund the program that includes rebates for zero-emission vehicles at $133M. It had been held up due to wrangling over how the state's cap and trade funds would be allocated. The rebate (presumably...

https://electrek.co/2016/08/20/chevy-bolt-ev-has-not-been-delayed-deliveries-2016/ Hard to know how to read these tea leaves. They conclude "not delayed" but as Labor Day rapidly approaches it seems to me that if deliveries to non-fleet customers were coming "by the end of the year" that we'd...

Hi all, new to the forum, and new to real BEVs (though I do own a LEV, not sure that counts!). Much to my own surprise, I am seriously considering the Bolt to replace my 13-year-old gas burner. My use case is probably a bit different than usual so I was hoping I could run it past some...
