    How about the MAXGREEN charger??

    Don't you really mean a 240v adapter cable for the 120v charger that comes with the car? I made one, and it charges just about double the miles in the same time connected.... Been using it over a year. Only thing, you might notice, you are able just using 120v, you have an option of 8Amps or...

    Chevy Bolt’s charging challenge

    Yes, this is a good part of my decision to get a Bolt EV. The $7,500 tax credit will allow me to withdraw 71,000 from my IRA that would be otherwise taxed. That essentially is like I had worked to earn $71,000 TAX FREE! That's a pretty good incentive for me, and anyone else with an IRA 71.5...

    Driving in low

    Would you Manufacture a car, and include something and incur UNNEEDED EXPENSES in the process if the item is not needed for the operation of a vehicle ? Maybe like a parachute, or maybe oars?

    Radio turns on with start

    Very simple fix! Find some old broken earphones or microphone 3mm plug that fits in the aux port in the console area by the USB ports. If it fits, chop off the plug so no wires protrude from the plug. Pop it in the jack and forget your problem ever existed! The infotainment system won't make a...

    I have a 240vX30Amp Aerovironment Level 2 Charger That I installed myself, and that Brick that comes in the Hidey Hole for 40 Hour 0-to-Full charge. I thought I'd try the Stock Portable Brick charger on 220V, so made myself a 1 foot Pigtail with adaptation from 220-240 to 110 socket. It Works...
