    Bolt Range Issue

    My family is made up of gas freaks and they cannot understand why I drive an electric vehicle. They cannot understand why I restrict my speed to 60 miles per hour. And yet they blame me for the condition of the roads. They like to do 70 or 80 miles an hour and they're range drops by 10 miles an...

    I cruise @ 60, looking for ANY slowpoke to lead me until they get off at the next exit. Unfortunately nobody wants to be the slowpoke

    I ask this because, in the mountains, semis have to slow down. Usually they drop to 40 mph. I take this opportunity to get into the slowpoke lane and let gravity recharge my battery for me. Same story going up. Doing the interstate's minimum, even though it's legal, it pisses people off.

    Sounds like a nail boter. Did you ever consider drafting a semi?

    It hasn't changed my battery on my 2017. In fact my battery's averaging 4.1 miles per KWH. I've been to Cape Canaveral, Glacier National Park, The Rockies and Mt Rushmore. Last check, I've got 10100 miles on the odometer

    Don't forget Friction . Every car, truck and semi that passes,at 75 or 80 screams as the asphalt or concrete tips at their tires. The next time you travel put your hand on the tire and feel the warmth.

    Minnesota has the law slowpoke law and I am required to use the slow lane. I do 60 because I'm bad at calculating arrival times at 55 or 65. So I forgot 5 "MPH". I'm thinking of putting an Amish triangle on my trunk.

    Another thing is cruising speed. I found that my range drops 5 miles for every 5 mph you drive above 55 mph. DOT was correct back in 1970 when they dropped the speed limit to 55 mph

    Anyone Tried Other Brand Chargers for Bolt EV

    Grab it. I've several wall chargers and they all worked from the get go. One caution, if the control box is too close to the wall plug, the weight of that box has the tendency to Unplug the unit from the wall.

    MN is going to be putting CCS stations in every rest stop on I35, I90 & I94. Can you imagine the revenue that's going to being bring in?

    I'm looking at Minneapolis to Seattle this time I want to work my way down visiting all the national parks that I can do in a couple weeks time. I'm going to do that in September hopefully it will cool off on the West Coast by then

    What's up with my charging?

    I always keep Chargepoint's activating card on my keychain. It works almost every time. When it doesn't l get a message on the display as to why it failed with an 800 number

    Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe in our Bolt

    I am in envy! I tried Minneapolis to Los Angeles in June. I was turned back by EA in Green River Utah. I spent the night in an RV park and decided if it was 102° in Green River and 122° in LA I probably would not have a good time.
