    Cargo Area Light - 2020 Bolt

    Hi Runabout! It has also been my experience that the interior lights will automatically turn off after 10 or so minutes IF the "ignition"/car is off. Some workarounds: -EASY- I believe you can leave the car on with the rear hatch open without "the dinger" fussing at you, as it would with an...

    News about Bolt Battery Fires

    I second this. It would probably go a long way with owners like me, who at the moment aren't likely to purchase their next EV from GM. Goodwill actions speak louder than words.

    Phantom Power Usage?

    I'll just go ahead and say that if it's unplugged, it would be cause for concern to me. Being put of bumper to bumper warranty, unless it's something obvious from the dealer's perspective, they're likely to charge you to investigate. This is the first I've heard of this.

    Phantom Power Usage?

    Is the car plugged in or unplugged when this happens?

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    My lifetime efficiency is 4.7 miles per kwh, but the tripometer itself reset to zero after 100,000km (62,137 miles I think), but it restrains the efficiency.

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    Need to update it, I just past 65k yesterday. I did 4k miles in 5 days or 8k miles on it in 3 weeks when I did the cannonball run and subsequent zig zagging across the country on the way back. I've driven back and forth to Philadelphia 6 times I believe (probably 10k miles there). I'd still...

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    A better question, why is my range indicator not accurate? It's spot on with my Spark EV, and other people with Bolts don't seem to have an issue. If I had to guess, I'd say my Bolt has a "failing" battery cell as opposed to a "failed" cell, which you read about people having their full charge...

    Highest Mileage Bolt EV?

    200,000 miles or kilometers?

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    It nearly happened again the other day. I was traveling, stopped for an hour, had 31 miles of range left. Picked out a charging station 12 miles away. Took back roads instead of the hwy which cut the distance, and was more efficient than I had been driving prior to the stop, and looked like I...

    Highest Mileage Bolt EV?

    I know there are plenty of Bolts with over 100k miles, but I'm curious how much further beyond that someone has gone. I know Eric Way (News Coulomb YouTube Channel) has exceeded 120k, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn of significantly higher mileage Bolts, as we approach 4 years since its...

    Electrify America EV Charging Payment SNAFU

    I don't know what you mean, I love the EA credit card system... https://youtu.be/sxiB3MKhrUM Seriously, don't watch and waste 30 min of your life (or 15 min @ 2x for that matter). Use the app if you value your time and sanity.

    Modifying a Bolt's clearance.

    Going off the top of my head, I believe the manual says not to exceed 100 lbs. Haven't seen this, but perhaps someone could fab a hitch mounted one that folds down? I keep my spare (205 50 17) in the trunk floor. Not certain, but I think the dc to dc converter is probably rated in the...

    Charging at Electrify America

    If you value your sanity, use the app. If your OS is too old (this was my issue), it's probably time to buy a new phone anyway. The app drastically improves reliable session starting and avoids the potential for getting your card skimmed at a station.

    Towing really heavy stuff with the Bolt

    Hello Adventure, I'll start off by stating what should be obvious or easily discovered, which is that a Bolt isn't rated to tow. That being said, you and you alone are responsible for your actions and well being. You may find this video link of a hitch installation helpful, to have a look at...

    reverse image not full size on infotainment screen

    This is what I get occasionally. As soon as I shift from reverse to drive, it goes to full screen. I doubt this will ever be fixed.

    EV tax credit delaying IRS refund?

    I received my state refund, but still no federal. Apparently in years past, there weren't any checks in place and people who weren't eligible for the credit, were able to exploit this. Now the IRS probably does a dealership visit and interrogates your salesperson's mother. Don't worry, I'm...

    Range indicator said "Low" then Bolt immediately died.

    Thanks again Tom. I'm fortunate to not have an issue nearly as bad (for now), as the person in the other forum. I've driven 20,000+ miles since the night it died (right before the new year), but I won't push it and go below 20 miles of range anymore. I'll test it at some point when I have...
