    OEM Tire warranty

    Does anyone know if the OEM tires on a 2017 Bolt have a warranty? At 30k miles (mostly local pottering and not much high speed highway use) ours are quite worn and I doubt any good beyond 36k, which doesn't seem very much to me for a "non-sporting" application. The Michelin Green X 215/50 R17...

    Anyone know if this can also be fitted to the early Bolts e.g. 2017 ?

    12 volt AGM battery

    Much has been said about the reliability of these batteries, but on a temporary basis ONLY what are the downsides to substituting a "conventional" SLI 12v battery? (if it fits mechanically) I realize SLI batteries don't like deep cycling, but everyone has left their lights on at some stage, or...

    DCFC at LAX?

    Any suggestions for reliable (even if a bit expensive) DCFC chargers on 405N and 101W heading northwest from LAX? Does "Greenlots - 11107 Nebraska Ave, Los Angeles, CA" have a good reputation? Thanks

    "Power antenna" noise

    If I wait in the car for about 10 minutes after a drive, there is a whirring sound for a few seconds just like a power antenna retracting. Is something turning itself off after 10 minutes?

    Charge Hub

    Anyone finding their Charge Hub map doesn't reflect reality? Here in Santa Maria the map shows two DCFC icons (brown), but when I called they confirmed what I suspected - there are actually none. It is confusing as one icon on the map (Community VW) states "DC fast port(s) $0.50/hr 10:30pm -...

    Audible warning

    From BBC News today.......... "New electric vehicles will have to feature a noise-emitting device, under an EU rule coming into force on Monday. It follows concerns that low-emission cars and vans are too quiet, putting pedestrians at risk because they cannot be heard as they approach. All new...

    Safety issues

    First, is it true some audible warning feature when in reverse will be mandatory on all EV's made this year? If so, can it be retro-fitted to a 2017 Bolt? Second, if you come to a stop using regen only are the brake lights only on during deceleration? Would be nice if they stayed on, or better...

    "Free" heat in cabin

    Apologies if this has been covered before, but is it true there is a way to bleed off the small amount of heat from the battery/electronics into the cabin without using the resistive heater? Is it enough to keep the screen free of condensation on the inside when it's about 40-50F ambient?

    YAMMV - Close call

    We are a couple of old retired duffers, so our usage pattern is overwhelmingly urban and typically no more than 30 miles a day (i.e. boring and pottering), but today we did a freeway run (Orcutt to SBA airport, hwy 101) that was almost exclusively at 67mph, set on the cruise control. We set...

    EVSE supply voltage

    Has anyone investigated how "pure" the AC supply to the GM included EVSE must be? Will it tolerate an inverter power supply, there seem to be large variations in the sine wave outputs of these devices? I am thinking in an emergency ONLY to run a "normal" IC car with an inverter since typical...

    110 volt outlet

    Anyone have experience with the on-board 110 v outlet? How much current will it supply, and for how long can you use it? would be nice to know if we could use it if (when) the house power goes down, even if only to run the gas furnace blower to keep the house warm
