    How to get dead Bolt into neutral for tow?

    I understand Car Wash Mode, which can get a working Bolt into neutral long enough to be pulled through a car wash. But what about a Bolt with a dead 12 volt battery that won't jump start because it's gone bad (meaning that as soon as the jumper cables are removed that the vehicle shuts down)...

    Android Auto update status?

    As far as I can tell, the Android Auto on my Bolt is the same as when I took delivery a year ago. I'm hoping for some improvement. Even little things: When I receive a Google Hangouts message and it asks "What is your message?" it records its own question at the start of my reply. Isn't this...

    Misadventures at Anaheim Stadium

    Earlier this month, my wife and I drove our Bolt EV to nearby Anaheim Stadium to see pitching/hitting sensation Shohei Ohtani. The parking lot attendant directed us to turn on our flashers and follow directions to the preferred parking area. We parked as directed and went in to see the game...

    Driving a Bolt from LA to Boston?

    Is there a route from Los Angeles to New York City that supports running a Bolt entirely on DC Fast Charge or entirely on a combination of DC Fast Charge and Level II stations?

    Not ready for prime time!

    I began planning my first long distance outing when I got my Bolt two months ago by signing up for EVGo and ChargePointe accounts and locating all the charging stations between my home in Irvine, CA and Las Vegas, NV. We had previously roamed around Los Angeles and Orange counties on trips up to...

    Shrill engine compartment sound

    While coming down the 6000 feet elevation of Idyllwild CA this morning, our 2 month, 2000 mile old Bolt began making a shriil sound (like an aluminum fan blade in a metal cage hitting its cage,). This went on for 10 minutes and then stopped in a way that sounded like it was being turned off...

    Center screen comes up blank

    The infotainment screen on my month old Bolt has twice failed to start up now. The first time it responded in less than a minute after I restated the car a few times, but yesterday it was minutes before the "Bolt" startup screen appeared. Anyone familiar with this malfunction?

    Ticking sound?

    Today we noticed a faint but clear 1 Hz ticking sound coming from the interior back that stopped when we started the car and did not immediately resume when we shut down again. Anyone familiar with this?

    No driver's charge state display on 220V!

    The driver's display shows charge state upon opening a door if using 120V, but on 220V it remains dark and I have to go to ENERGY on the center display to see how it's doing.

    Locking the back door keylessly?

    One can unlock the rear hatch door of a Bolt by squeezing the switch just right of center on the door. My question is, how to lock it again?

    Minimum connections to use phone, charge it, and play Android Auto?

    I was quite used to having my Galaxy Note 4 automatically connect to my Prius via Bluetooth when i got in the car. I was told the Bolt could do this too, but reality (the car dealer says) is that I have to make a wired USB data connection as well for Android Auto to work, which means I have to...

    Trouble exiting to Chevrolet Mode

    Got my Bolt EV on Friday and am simply in love with it. It has its deficiencies and a few things that don't work perfectly, but I have no a trace of buyer's remorse. One problem I have is exiting Adroid Auto back to Chevrolet Mode reliably. The process should require pressing the last icon on...
