  1. πŸ”Œ Charging Stations Discussion
    I've found that some charging networks connect more reliably and easily than others. By this I don't mean some stations are offline less, but rather that some stations have fewer software issues during the connecting part of the process. Some networks seem more prone than others to cycling...
  2. πŸ›£οΈ Road Trip Report And Long Trip Discussions
    I have steadily added tools to my EV road tripping tool box throughout my ownership experience. I now always use Plugshare. I prioritize chargers with a higher Plugscore and especially chargers in which another Bolt recently charged. Recently, I had a tough charging day despite these...

    Tesla app just released a video demonstration on how to unlock the magic dock. All you have to do it press and hold the bottom for 2 seconds, push up and then down. Could this mean that we will be getting plug and charge once GM vehicles are finally able to use all chargers? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”
  4. πŸš™ 2022-2023 Chevy Bolt EV/EUV General Discussion
    Can you share your opinion re what's the best practice when not always plugged in ? What's the best SOC to be at when cold, or hot, and how to start driving? Or any other input if I don't charge my car at home? Thank you all in advance.
  5. πŸ›£οΈ Road Trip Report And Long Trip Discussions
    This weekend we went on a road trip to Kingman. AZ from our home in Los Angeles County. Total distance for the trip was about 800 miles. Started off with ~95% SoC (forgot to turn off Hill Top Reserve the night before, turned it off in the morning when I woke up) Made it easy to Barstow...

    Could the car be charging in orange (not able to charge) error message? I went to a free (Volta and I’ve used this place this past week) place at 415 am to charge my bolt euv. It showed orange and said Not able to charge, but I think with the few minutes I was there it went from 207 to 209...

    I have a relatively new 2023 Bolt EUV. After several charges to 100%, the seventh L2 charge automatically shut down at 75%. After searching the web, I note there is some confusion as to the level of charge one should max out at, as well as the minimum charge to maintain a healthy battery...

    I am at an EVGO charger and currently getting up to 58 kW charging speeds on my 2019 Bolt. I thought that the 55kW charging speed max was pretty hard and fast, so I was surprised to see this. Could this be a sign of something going wrong with the car, or is the limit just general with the real...

    I have charging at home (L2). We are looking to move soon. There is an apartment that geographically makes a ton of sense. I think we'd be happy there but they don't have EV chargers. They advertise on apartment.com that they do but it is actually city owned chargers that are very close by. 2...

    NY smart charge program going on if you have Conedison or Orange & Rockland utility. Smart Charge New York sign up Also other incentives just for charging off peak hours I attached photos.
  11. πŸ”Œ Charging Stations Discussion
    Has anyone bought an adapter yet to use teslas' slow chargers or the regular chargers? I want to know the type of adapter to get and if I need the tesla app. I seen youtube videos of people already using the charger but want opinions. Do we have to wait still to use teslas faster chargers or can...
  12. πŸš™ 2022-2023 Chevy Bolt EV/EUV General Discussion
    I have a 2023 BOLT EUV. I woke up the morning and the MyChevy App said my car had charged to 77% charge, 209 miles and indicated charging was completed (I have my target set to approx 80%). It is normally 78% but sometimes is 79% so I did not think anything of the numbers. It had finished...
  13. πŸš™ 2022-2023 Chevy Bolt EV/EUV General Discussion
    We are going on a trip soon. I plan to charge to 100% before leaving for the airport and then parking at the airport once I get there. If there is just sitting for several days, what happens to the battery/range? This is relevant to this trip but also will be relevant when I take the car in for...
  14. πŸ”‹ Charging and Batteries
    We're in the middle of our first charge at home. We're plugged into a 20A 110v grounded circuit wired with 12 gauge copper. I assume that will comfortably allow a charge at 12A. After 45 minutes, the plug and the transformer are slightly warm. Is that to be expected?
  15. πŸ”‹ Charging and Batteries
    I’m just posting this to let people in colder climates know that sometimes when running the heater at a DC fast charger, the compressor will activate and you will be inadvertently cooling down the battery coolant, increasing the time it takes for the battery to reach optimal charging...
  16. πŸ”Œ Charging Stations Discussion
    I'm sure we have all needed to charge on the road at one time or another at an EVSE that is either free or charges for kWh. When our Bolts complete their charging cycle, they send notification "Charging Complete" through OnStar notifications and thats all good. For most of these types of EVSEs...

    I am close to factory-ordering a (bare-bones) 2023 Bolt EV 1LT. The dealer says the car does NOT come ready for Level 2 charging but requires an "adapter" of some kind ($495). My "crap-detector" went off. So, is this true? What's the man talking about?
  18. 2017+ Chevy Bolt EV Issues And Problems
    OK - I sent the following message, twice, to: evconcierge@chevrolet.com and have not yet received a response. "I need simple and straight forward instructions to program charging of my Bolt so that charging starts immediately upon plug connection and charging continues until battery is full –...
  19. πŸ”‹ Charging and Batteries
    As we all know, when you set the target it stops a bit short. Usually 2-3% under. Right now I have it set to 90%, it stopped overnight at 87%, and now I’m about to head out and it is at 86% (probably from temp drop). Really this is closer to 85% lol. Is there any way to trigger it to top up? Or...
  20. 2017+ Chevy Bolt EV Issues And Problems
    Hi all, I'm a completely new Bolt EUV 2023 owner and just getting familiar with the quirks of EV's and this car. Apologies in advance if these questions are old news or common things. I tried searching the forum but hard to find something exact with so many discussion threads. I just charged...
