battery

Link to Coursera course I am taking this Coursera course and Week 2 covers everything about Lithium Ion batteries how they are built, assembled, and designed. It's pretty great stuff and the professor provides information on what Tesla uses. It got my curious on what the Bolt uses. For...

Is there anyway I can tell how much juice (how many kilowatts) I still have in my 2017 Bolt at anytime?

I have a 2018 Ampera with a sudden drop in kWh. Charged the car with hill top reserve (around 80%) and then drove 5 days, spending 18,8kWh according to the infotainment screen, while "fuel gauge" was at 25%. 55% of the battery was spent on 19kWh and that should have been around 30kWh. I do have...

Hey all, I just purchased a gently used 2017 bolt ev with 31k miles. At the time of writing this it has yet to be delivered from Carvan so I've been searching through the forums to see what may be useful to know before it is delivered.I do have a few questions/concerns about my new bolt though...

Has anyone else noticed, the sticker on the battery for a 2020 Bolt reads 64kWH? Does anyone happen to know why? Shouldn‘t the battery pack label read 66kWH? If memory serves the the previous model years battery label read 57 instead of 60. Kinda strange.

Have anyone ever noticed how long the Bolt sits at 100% before completing the charge? I waited over 10 minutes just to unplug it before the Bolt finished finalizing. I know it wasn’t completely finished as it was still drawing 5 kilowatts. should I have let it sit longer? I have a feeling it...

I have a 2019 Bolt and I absolutely love it. A couple months ago I noticed that it wasn't charging up all the way overnight. I soon realized that it was seeming to "fall asleep" a few hours after being plugged in. The light in the dash wasn't lit up at all and no electricity was coming out of...

Hi, I bought a used 2017 Bolt, i took it our of the dealer with full charge. after 3 days i plugged it at home with the standard charger included in the car. The light on the charger is red and the car does not charge. Nothing show on the panel. Any suggestion is appreciated. Irene

i have had the 2019 Bolt EV for less than a month. i live a little north of vancouver BC, temperatures have been in the -3 to 8 Celsius range since purchasing. i've been plugging the car in with the supplied 120V charger when the tempreature has been dipping below 0C. I've charged the car to...

I use my Bolt EV to do food deliveries. It's getting to be winter and I am trying to be as efficient as possible. Anyone have any insight on whether it's better to leave the car powered on when I am making a delivery vs. turning it off when I pull in a driveway to make a delivery and then...

I’ve purchased a 2018 Chevy bolt couple months. Ago and it didn’t click to me, but I live in apartment and I have no output to plug in my car. Winter is coming and I’m now aware that it’ll reduce up to 40 percent of the range during the winter Season. It gets from 25 to 40 where I live during...

At what outside temperature will the battery start warming up its main battery? Knowing if the trigger temp is, as an example, 3 Celsius, so instead of preconditioning the battery using its own battery power to keep warm, i would plug the car if i know temperature will drop to or below that...
