Interesting to read that because of manufacturing, weight, and driving habits, plug-ins are actually “greener” than BEVs according to this study.
Here’s a news article and here’s the 2024 report.
Note there is no 2024 Bolt model, so it’s not on that 2024 list but you can search the previous...
Just completed an 830-mile round trip from Indianapolis to various Michigan cities and back, which has greatly boosted my confidence in the Bolt's range and the fast charger build-out. I should say this was my third trip on significant stretches of I-69, with a few long stretches of state and...
Was driving into work today with an unusual amount of trucks on the highway. Wondering if anyone noticed a difference in efficiency when driving 70 mph or more with ACC enabled behind a semi?
1. So I've seen some weird GOM behavior lately on my 2020 Bolt now that the weather is cooler (it's my first winter with it). Here's what I've seen: driving along when it's cool or rainy with the HVAC system completely off. Then I press the buttons to turn the upper vent and windshield/defog on...

How many miles are on your 2020 bolt?

New owner of a 2017 LT and was curious what people are seeing. My idea is if people want to make a modification such as add a tow hitch or put on roof racks they can have an idea of how it might...
Went to a state park and back in a day. It was around 5 hours total of driving (includes driving around the park)
Total trip was estimated at 260 miles but came in around 250.
based on past usage (4.0 mi/kWh) I thought I was definitely going to have the charge. So I stopped at a restaurant for...
We drove from Colorado Springs to Glenwood Springs. The Bolt far exceeded my expectation.
See photos for trip details. The only odd thing that occurred was the Lan Keeping Assistant stopped working about 170 miles into our journey. (System unavailable)
I know for a fact that I already posted this once but the search fails to find it for me.
some good engineering details on potential future GM EV cabin heating & cooling efficiency improvements.
