charging

The City of San Luis Obispo, California adopted an ordinance that required EV charging stations at every new development. CA code requires just the infrastructure for future stations. The city took it a step further and required the actual charging station. As a result, in just one year there...

I’m going to record this next time I charge at an EA charging station, for proof. So, I began the charge with about 68 miles left and ended with 237. The session took just under 50 minutes. I was really impressed. Percentage wise, it went from 19% to 80%. I wanted to post this because I always...

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...

Do you guys typically keep your Bolt on when plugging it in or do you turn it off, plug in then turn it back on? I usually just get out plug in to The DCFC and get back in, without turning the car off. I’m not sure if I should be doing that or not.

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

Hello all. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I’ve owned a 2020 Bolt EV for about two weeks now, and until yesterday, was charging via the L1 charger that came with the car while I waited for a 240v outlet to be installed in my garage for an L2 charger. Over the weekend that outlet was...

Hi, Wondering what the best charging habit would be to preserve the battery. I charge up to 80% and my daily average is 25 miles/day. I live in the Midwest. Is it best to charge daily, level 2, for 1hr. To get the 25 miles back. Or let the battery go down to 30-40% and charge up again to 80% as...

It's slowly getting colder and miles/charge is dropping. I've had my Bolt for nearly a year and have a good handle on range and charging,,, but what is the best strategy for charging when it's cold out? Background, I live in chicago and park on the street with no charging available. My...
