    Add new category in rate schedule

    go to page 128 "Instruments and Controls" in the Bolt Operating Manual. I would start by reviewing and reentering the schedule if needed to show a Peak, Mid Peak, and Off Peak start and stop time schedule. If this screen does not show a Mid-Peak start and stop time it won't be an option...

    The Bolt E-U-V

    To me the minivan is more useful than a pickup truck. Room for people and/or cargo kept safe secure and mostly out of site and the elements while returning superior energy efficiency. The addiction means I’ve owned dozens of caravan/voyagers since 84, and still have an 06 Odyssey. The hatchback...

    DCQC charging rates

    Bosch units like what your dealer had can charge the Bolt at around 22kW peak. EVgo units seem to be 100 or 125 amp and will charge at about 38 and 42kW peak. ChargePoint DCFC also seem to be in the 40kW range. New units from Electrify America, Recargo, and select EVgo DCFC sites will...

    Energy detail, energy added

    I agree with your numbers (I incorrectly used 90% for Hilltop and half of that charge value) :oops:

    Energy detail, energy added

    "Half" using Hill Top Reserve should be around 27 kWh, so at 18.67 you are indicating diminished capacity. Charging efficiency depends on several factors, but is about 90% efficient using L2 at ideal temps. Your Miles per kWh works out to 2.36, also a low value. You do not say where you are...

    Does anyone have any details for the pending Electrify America DCFC being constructed in Firebaugh, CA?

    I have stopped to charge here in the Fit EV. Pedestals were 14-30 connectors and offset 25 feet back from the curb, so you needed an extension cord, or to drive up onto the shoulder. Stations were hard to activate as controller in the building didn't work and online help could not contact them...

    Location of color code sticker?

    2017 Chevy Bolt EV order guide lists paint color as “Kinetic Blue Metallic”, Color Code “ GD1”, touch up paint number “WA-388A”. I just had a repair done and the shop listed the color as "BLUE ME AWAY PEARL". Also known as "marine blue" and "hyper blue". It was an exact match.
