Ya know what else isn't rocket science? Parking the Bolt in the garage, and at night opening the liftgate and then looking into the garage every 10 minutes to see if the light has gone out. If you *really* want to know exactly how long, then do it twice and the 2nd time go sit in the garage...

That is the way leases ARE. "what you pay in interest" + "residual on car at end of lease" *must* equal what the car cost to buy. I mean, a lease is "paying the interest cost on the money I borrowed" which BY DEFINITION is the difference between "what car is worth at end of lease" and "what the...

Good luck getting $350. Anyone can buy a 120V/240V (both), 16 amp charging cable for about $200, which will charge faster than the one shipped with the Bolt.

For safety reasons. - So you don't get pushed into traffic (or the car in front of you) when you get rear-ended. - So that you have big, red lights on the back of the vehicle as a "WAKE UP MORON - I AM STOPPED" sign. Also, so a cop doesn't waste your time (and his) pulling you over to give you...

Yeah, buy a used Bolt. Hasn't somebody already talked about that? Isn't there a thread for that? Oh, yeah, THIS one!

OK, I'll explain it to you: Credit card fee. Credit Card companies charge businesses for "the privilege" of accepting client payment using their network. The exact number varies widely, but is usually {fee} + {percentage of sale}. EA is passing the fee (and the concept) on to the consumer. It...

OK, this sounds really bizarre, but it might be your coffee maker. Not kidding. It could really be interference from any number of other electrical sources .... ( From https://www.chevybolt.org/forum/82-charging-batteries/21905-potential-solution-clipper-creek-keurig-problem.html ) As the...

If I remember my high school physics from a few years ago, the generation of electricity when "running a motor backwards" is the opposite of "running the motor forwards". By that, I mean that to accelerate (increase torque) using the motor one increases the current flowing in the coils. When...

{{ Edited by mod: A looooooong series of threads were flagged as "off-topic" (which they were) and many were mean-spirited . They were all removed. }} This post simply left as a 'reminder' to try and keep things on topic, please.

No, it means you managed to drive 264.1 miles one day. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe the exact same drive on a similar day (same route, temp, rain/cler, humidity, wind speed and direction, etc.) when the car was new would have left you with 25% battery remaining at the end of the drive...

1) A random employee of OnStar told you - you spoke to the wrong one, 2) "ChevyCustomerCare" hasn't been participating in this forum for over a year, so your request (if it really is meant for Chevy) is going to fall on deaf ears. Read this ...

Well, it's Oct 29th (definitely "by Oct", and almost "by Nov") ... On I-5 N of Sacramento (going N to South), new ChargePoint 50 kW DCFC have gone live at : - Yreka (in Sep) - Weed (early Oct) - Mt Shasta (today! Oct 29) - Dunsmuir ??? (not sure if on or not - appears to be installed) The...

start reading through the last few years of posts - the topic(s) has/have been covered before. Edit: Oh, and since this is NOT AT ALL specific to the Bolt, can this thread be moved out of the Bolt-specific part of the forum? Pretty please?

Yeah, that's why we need a new, completely different nomenclature! :roll: :roll: "Hey, that is a Chargeway, Green, Level 3 charging station!" (CCS, 24 kW) :lol: Edit: in all honesty, being able to say "speed 3" or "fast 5" (yes, two different units at different rates) would be a nice...
