Thank you BoltEV, Update .. As expected GM financial will only allow a lease buyout at the residual value outlined in the contract. The GM concierge has offered a rebate in the amount of three monthly lease payments as compensation for the newly required 6200mile battery software diagnostic period w...

Hello forum users, My 3 year lease (2020 Bolt EV) is ending in October and I'm going to buy the car since It has low miles & I like it. GM has not replaced the main traction battery despite my numerous attempts to check status. The GM Concierge says they can sell me the car without performing th...

Jill, The click you're hearing as you plug your level 2 home charger into the car is simply a physical latch catching the tab on the standard j1772 'nozzle'. When you unplug it at home again you push the button on top of the J1772 'nozzle' disengaging the physical latch to remove it from the car. At...

You should hear a 'buzz..click' sound a few seconds after you start a charge? That's the 'nozzle' locking into the car. If that's not happening there's a problem with the car and dealer service is needed.

Welcome jhoffman2, Assuming this is at a DC fast charge station .. Does this happen at more than one facility, different charging provider? I've had this happen before the 'nozzle' clicks into the car & locks it into the CCS port on the car during the Charger/Bolt 'handshake' communication proce...

I've had some older EVgo DCFC units near me 'time out' prematurely with a "Charging Error" message. Those ABB units have had issues from the early days for me & not just with Bolts. I've not had a problem at home on my Bosch level 2 charger. A 240V, 30A circuit for full Level 2 chargin...

Yeah .. taking the car down to ~18 miles range is risky without running AC .. with AC it's not doable. The Plugshare app is showing a single NEMA 14-50 electric outlet in Ajo (see pic). I believe the Bolt EUV level 2, 7.2 kW charger that comes with the car will plug into that. https://i.imgur.com/1L...

Hi kentever1, This isn't related to your VIN but .. You may want to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet at your home .. ie: a 40A, 220V circuit for the 7.2kW EVSE charger that comes with your new Bolt EV .. or a bigger 60A, 220V dedicated circuit and a 11kW wall mounted maxed out home charger. I don't know ...

Federal & State Rebates, Tax credits usually require a copy of a signed contract to purchase the vehicle which would include the VIN as well as other info uploaded into an application at some sort of government website. In most cases you won't be required/asked to sign a contract until you take ...

Congrats kentever1 and welcome! .. I've been driving Bolt EV's for 5 years and I love 'em. You're gonna love yours too. I hope you have the terms for your purchase prior to the order you placed in writing. Car dealers sometimes change things when the time comes to sign the contract and pick up the c...
