The tax Credit for EVSE's that had expired at the end of 2016 has been retroactively restored for 2017. If you purchased an EVSE in 2017, you qualify for the credit . This is a credit that carries forward, so if you are not eligible for the entire amount on your 2017 return, you can use it in...

https://driveelectricweek.org/ Everyone that frequents these boards should be looking for one to attend. If you are new to EV's and looking for information, they are a great way to talk to owners about their experiences and learn the pros and cons of EV's (in general and often specific...

Way short on actual numbers, but the reported "on track for 200 miles" looks promising. This was apparently mixed use freeway/city. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2016/12/2017-chevrolet-bolt-ev-returns-200-miles-in-sub-zero-temperatures/ A couple of glimpses of the instrumentation reveal 2.8...

Without getting into what impact a GM "loss" on the Bolt might mean (good, bad or indifferent), I thought I'd do a rough EV vs ICE comparison to see what it would take for GM to have a $9000 loss on the Bolt (parts & labor). Since we are not privy to the actual costs, we can take a different...

There has been a fair amount of press about the Bolt EV battery degradation warranty. I thought it would be useful to compare the warranties of all the currently available BEV's. Does the Bolt have the best warranty? No. But it is better than most. In reality, most users will never get...

Here is a link to the owners manual: https://my.chevrolet.com/content/dam/gmownercenter/gmna/dynamic/manuals/2017/Chevrolet/BOLT%20EV/Owner's%20Manual.pdf Some questions people have had are answered, others not......

Actually saw this in the mag in a doctors waiting room and then found it on line: http://www.caranddriver.com/columns/have-we-reached-peak-engine-column Makes a pretty good argument for EV's, even from an admitted "gearhead".

US (West Coast?) dealers can now configure cars in their initial allocation, but do not yet have pricing to attach to the "order". It is my understanding that: 1) Dealers have been notified of the number of cars in their initial allocation 2) Pricing will be available to them early next week...

The Fuel economy data for the Bolt is in the latest EPA datafile. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/epadata/17data.zip Of note: City Range: 255.1 Hwy Range: 217.4 (tested in the Drive mode without using the "Regen-On-Demand" steering wheel paddle) Chevy used the 2 cycle test (not the 5 cycle test...

Inside EV's did a piece about the Bolt http://insideevs.com/a-tale-of-9-hours-does-gm-really-want-to-sell-the-chevy-bolt/ (let's not discuss that in this thread). In the comments it came up that any reference to CCS and DCFC has disappeared from Chevy's Bolt EV site. Sure enough, it's gone. A...

NDEW https://driveelectricweek.org/ is September 10-18th, and there are hundreds of events around the US plus a dozen or so in Canada (plus Hong Kong, Denmark, New Zealand, etc) Map of events: https://driveelectricweek.org/events.php If you currently own an EV - register at an event near you...

Talked to someone that sat in the Bolt at EV Roadmap. Range remaining showed 234 miles, but GM staff blocked the attempted photo :) . Lots of things can cause a range estimate higher than the official EPA estimate, but makes me think they'll be well above the 200 mark. We should start a pool...

The Spark EV is not on the production schedule at the Changwon assembly plant after August, so will not likely be available alongside the Bolt. Not a real surprise, but in the states where it was available, it was a great little EV. GM seems to have migrated at least some of what they learned...

Since this got started in another (somewhat unrelated) thread http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=113&start=10 I thought it was worth a separate place to debate the pros and cons of the different ways of measurement. When MPGe first showed up, I thought it was terrible. But as...

Tesla will open up reservations March 31st in stores and April 1st on line. There is no "Signature" series and the deposit will be $1000. I think Tesla had to react to the Bolt hitting the market before their Model 3 If they structure it like in the past, it is fully refundable until a week...
