Since no one at Chevy or here was able to answer my question about the length of the included 120v charging cable, I continued my search and found a vender that had a Bolt 120v charging cable OEM replacement for sale and they say it's 21 feet 5 inches long. Source...

I ordered a Bolt back in March before they officially allowed for orders in Nevada. My dealer said he would submit my order as soon as was allowed in Nevada which was at that time July but has since been moved up to June. I finally got my order number from my dealer in mid July. He said it is...

What is the length of the 120v charging cable that comes with the Chevy Bolt? The Chevy chat website did not know the answer after researching it. It's not in the Bolt manual and I could not find it here or on Google after extensive seaching. I'm wondering if a Bolt owner could please measure it...

There is an 80% rule using electric circuits. If you have a 15 amp circuit you can safely draw 12 amps continuously provided there is nothing else using that same circuit, so it should be able to handle the Bolt's 12 amp setting. Source...

Hi Everyone, I found a definitive answer to how the battery coolant liquid is cooled in the Chevy Volt's Thermal Management System (TMS) and almost definitive answer about the Chevy Bolt TMS. This is an excerpt from the article I found about the Volt's TMS, "Tesla’s thermal management – as well...

That's good to know, so I should leave it plugged in during the winter months as well. Our temperatures here in Pahrump, Nevada never go down to 0°F but they can get down to 4°F. Maybe if I call or chat with Chevy they will know the answer if the battery cooling liquid is actually cooled using...

That's great news. I don't need to use delayed or scheduled charging because my rate doesn't change based on time of day. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the Bolt uses the air conditioner (or some other method) to cool the battery cooling fluid when in extreme heat while plugged in? If that is the case than my worries would be over storing it in a hot garage while plugged in.

Thanks. That is real world experience, which is reassuring and good to know.

Thank you. That is encouraging to know.

Thank you. 90°F is low, now I'm really worried that 120°F will be too much even with the battery cooling system. Even putting a vent fan in the garage to bring in outside air would at best reduce the temperature to be equal to the outside temperature. Our temperatures consistently are above...

My dealer just called me. He doesn't even have an order number yet. He said he should get an order number in the next 2 weeks but mine is the next in queue to be produced. Now that I think about it, shouldn't I have had an order number last month when I ordered the first week in June when I...

I live in southern Nevada where the high temperatures range from 100F to 116F from June through August. The temperature in my garage is can reach to around 120°F every day from mid-June through mid-August. Is there a danger of the Bolt overheating while charge or just storing it in my garage at...

I ordered my Bolt In Las Vegas last month. Will the extended summer factory shutdown delay the August delivery of my Bolt? If so, how long?

Thank you devbolt and DucRider for clearing that up with source link proof and real world experience. Now the only question that remains is do I want to future proof and spend the additional $400 for 75A or just stick with the basic 40A model? Since I hope to keep the Bolt for at least 4 years...

I don't think all Level 2 charging is capped at 32A because Tesla home chargers and the JuiceBox Pro 75A claim to be Level 2 chargers on their product page (https://emotorwerks.com/store/residential/juicebox-pro-75-smart-75-amp-evse-with-24-foot-cable). Does anyone know if the Bolt's Level 2...

Dear drgnfish, You never got back to the Bolt forum regarding how long it takes to charge the Chevy Bolt with the JuiceBox Pro 75A. The JuiceBox Pro 75A is rated at 18kW which is a much higher charge rate than most level 2 chargers, so does it charge the Chevy Bolt faster than a normal 32A 7.8kW...

Is GM committed to continuing to manufacture the Bolt in the Trump era? I hope so, because I want a Bolt.

For me the Bolt is a Tesla Killer. The reason why for me is that the Bolt's seats are much higher off the ground than the Tesla thereby making it much easier to get in and out of the Bolt especially if you have, knee, back or arthritis problems. I loved my test drive in the Bolt. I can't wait...

Dear leodoggie, I understand your uncomfortable feeling about the narrow seats. I have a similar problem with many narrow compact cars. The Bolt is considered a sub-compact crossover, so that is probably why the seats are narrow. I have sat in more uncomfortable seats than the Bolt. But, I agree...
