    Baby it’s cold outside

    Good article on cold weather effect on Bolt battery range. +5 F here and full charge gives me 238 km range on mid marker. I don’t do long distance driving in winter so no issue. http://flip.it/eW5poz

    Is the Shop App (Marketplace) alive in the US?

    http://flip.it/Q3uPi9 Is the new Shop App alive in the US? The details on installation seem vague to me but it talks about MyLink and I’ve found other articles that seem to indicate it is installed via the MyChevrolet app to the Dashboard but I can’t find anything on my Canadian MyChevrolet...

    Winter Driving, what’s your experience?

    Just got back yesterday from Vancouver BC. I spent 45 minutes giving my Metallic Grey Bolt a quick scrub down and towel dry after a 390 km drive from Vancouver BC over the Coquihalla Summit. I had done it once before during the Summer and it worked out fine. This return trip was a toss up on...

    Kamloops BC Hot Nite in the City Electric Ave.

    Lots of interest in the Bolt at the Kamloops Car Show. Three people said they have put down deposits as far back as November and still have no information on allocations. There was a Bolt from Smith Chevy but they just left the car with no one to answer question or even with the hood up. One...

    Hum/Whine noise driverside front under hood

    Never heard this before. Wife was leaving and put Bolt in gear. Heard a semi loud hum/whine noise. Backed out of garage, not as loud but still there. Drove a bit still there. This stuff always happens on the weekend right? No smell. No lights or signs of issues. Seems normal except for...

    Dealer undue hidden charges

    For example. I got hit by two hidden charges which I called them on. One was a $5 environmental tire charge. Charged for 5 when Bolt has only 4 tires. Sounds penny small but in the end it can add up, but it makes you wary as to what goes on in the wider world of dealerships. An article I...

    West Canadian Fast Chargers

    Free Fast Charger, Greenlots, Vernon City Hall....but actually it's located in the alley parking lot behind the Greyhound Station. Just plug into car and push start. Free parking as well and that's a hard one at times in Vernon. Says 400 volts on the box. BC Hydro provides it free which is...

    Wet Bolt

    I am the proud owner of a Bolt Premier. Worth the wait folks. Amazing machine and impresses even the gear heads. Recently I've seen other questions in the forum about dealer experiences. After two weeks I think it's worth passing on and see if the GM Rep has any thoughts on my...experience...

    Back seats down, diagonal measurement

    Could someone give me a diagonal measurement with the back seat down of the storage in rear. From front right to back left. I read someone fit a 10 foot paddle board back there. I have a 10 foot kayak and am curious if it might fit in the rear.

    Apple AirPods and CarPlay

    Has anyone tried to use Apple AirPods with CarPlay and what were your observations? I've read an article that says the microphone works very well. Do you find any issue connecting as a separate Bluetooth device? Does Siri work with a double tap of the AirPod? Are there any conflicts that you...
