The adapter from Amazon mentioned above looks like practical means for powering the GM Clipper Creek EVSE cord from a 240 volt 14-50 outlet. The neutral/ground consideration mentioned in the posting above is correct. However in this case, the GM Clipper Creek EVSE contains a GFCI circuit which...

I found an owner on eBay with a new extra GM EVSE cord, the one made for GM by Clipper,Creek. I got it for under $200. The quality of the Clipper Creek unit is very good compared to bargain import units. Three GM Clipper Creek is compatible with 240 volts and is safe because it has...

I have a 2017 Bolt which was supplied with an EVSE charging cord made for GM by Clipper Creek. This specific cord can operate on either 120 or 240 Volts. For the first few years that I owned the Bolt I simply plugged into an existing 120 volt wall outlet and in the car set location based...

I believe only the 2019-2020 Bolt models need to have a software patch in order to use the adapter with the Tesla network. Apparently the older and newer models are already capable. I am sure someone will correct me if that is in error. Apologies in advance. I have a 2017 Bolt and ordered...

I gave the dealer parts counter the VIN of my Bolt and they ordered the GM touch-up paint applicator. The color is very close to the red paint but not perfect. Part of the problem with touch-up paint is that even if you have the correct match to the color code, aging conditions such as...

I don’t know about the 2020 Bolt, but I have a 2017. The energy screen has a settings option for “location based charging.” The way that works is you drive to your preferred charging spot, turn on location based charging and then tap “set location.” That will allow you to set 8 or 12 amps and...

I have to agree that the ordering experience via the app was pretty bad. There were several screens to deal with and they were slow to load. I recall that applying the shipping discount code was pretty non-obvious snd there wasn’t feedback until the final step if the code was applied. If I...

I ordered the GM adapter a few weeks ago via the MyChevrolet app when the Tesla option appeared. At the time I received an e-mail which simply remarked “back ordered” and there has been no communication since. I usually charge at home so waiting isn’t terrible. With holiday driving season...

The Public Charging option started showing for me today on the drop-down menu accessed by tapping on my user initials in the upper right corner of the MyChevrolet iPhone app. Tapped on Public Charging and swiped up past several level-2 chargers near me until I saw the networks listed. Tapped...

Before going through the fairly drastic work (hopefully under warranty) of replacing the rear axle, verify the noise is not coming from the rear hatch locking mechanism. Here is an example:

I don’t recall when Nissan changed the battery chemistry to the so-called lizard battery, but the first few years of production were much worse for deterioration. When I first got the 2011 LEAF as a used car, I could expect just under 100 estimated miles from an 80% charge and by the time I...

I don’t keep such detailed records as above, however: The daily driving pattern of my 2017 Bolt is fairly constant and I have seen essentially no change in the estimated available range. The high voltage battery was replaced in the recall about a year ago, so that reset everything and...

I am reluctant to anllow Amazon drivers to unlock my house or car. If I order something that is likely to be taken off my porch, I’ll select the option to have the delivery go to the drugstore about six blocks from where I live or the lockers at the Amazon storefront a few miles away. FedEx...

2023 Bolt / Bolt EUV According to Chevrolet’s vehicle support web page, the new version MyLink infotainment system can be rebooted by holding down the End Call button on the steering wheel for 15 seconds. After the button has been held, the screen will turn black for about 10 seconds followed...

That’s true. LED lamps won’t save much energy, and it isn’t like the lamps are a large part of the vehicle’s energy budget in the first place. There are a few benefits from switching. LEDs typically have a longer service life, which saves labor changing bulbs. For a private owner, changing...

CAN bus compatible refers to the fact normal LEDs draw less current and may trigger warning messages as mentioned above because the computer detects less current consumption. The compatible lamps have resistor is in parallel with the LED to increase current consumption to mimic an incandescent...

Something that comes to mind is that a loss of signal from the steering angle sensor might cause the grid lines not to display. That is a qualified maybe because other systems such as StabiliTrack probably also need steering angle data and they would likely set a diagnostic code and warning...

2017 Bolt Premier model in service Nov. 2017: The last week of August 2024 I noticed my A/C was only getting cold intermittently then A/C quit getting cold at all. When the A/C stopped working completely, the yellow CHECK CAR on the right side of the driver information center also lit up...

Page 11 of latest NPRM lists the estimated average cost per vehicle around $70 to $80 depending on production volume. The PWS electronics are actually non trivial and it does not use the buzzer for the horn. A weather proof loudspeaker is required to meet the sonic requirements and a...

On the pesedrian warning system, the National Highway Transportstion Safety Administration has 157 pages of sleep inducing text on the matter: https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/812347-minimumsoundrequirements.pdf Out of curiosity, I looked up the statistics on car -...
