I only can talk for my experience. So fallow me.
I live in apartment, second floor. For the restrictions I have to park anywhere except the garage I rent to change and keep the car.
I connect an extension from my bedroom, get true the window (no way to secure the window), to the ground level, run true a green are, parking lot, connect the converter and plug to the car. And all that in reverse wen I have to drive away.
Some letter come on the mail with instructions. I set the appointment (as the letter say) and service from the dealership canceled, 3 times, I call to the manager of service. He tell me they have a lot of customers (I purchased the car in this specific dealership) What you call that? And say he call me in two weeks (November 23 2021) I’m waiting the call…
Any way the same day I call to GM, and ask to go to another dealership. In two weeks I get the new battery.
I have a 2019 BOLT, I think you get you battery before June.
I love the Bolt, is funny to drive, is quite, is responsive, is fast, just the best car I own ever.
I think is an excellent idea own the car, for the quality, technology, well the pain is excellent to.
I keep my Bolt.
In few weeks I be purchasing a Polestar 2 because the Bolt is no for sale. But I really prefer buy another Bolt.
All this is only smoke, I read so many bad things about GM, the Chevy Bolt, but really is excellent car.
I really think before the end of June, they are really fixing this, with the new battery I get more capacity, change faster, accelerate faster to!!! I loved. My car is 2019, so I estimate.
About the options to buy the lease, excellent idea.
I need a extra car, is a shame is no Bolt options, between markups, no flexibility to change on 110v, of course or less distance or bigger price, etc. I’m thinking in a Mini Copper electric (Only 2 doors) is almost free.
